I like what you write. If I no longer like it, I'll stop reading. I might tell you I didn't like it, but tell you to Un-post something? That's ridiculous. <br />Peace.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05290534151500649637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136688967715659383.post-72739480333048695582010-02-16T20:03:42.214-06:002010-02-16T20:03:42.214-06:00First, I've been a reader/follower for years a...First, I've been a reader/follower for years and never had any complaints or issues with your wordings or topics. Its your blog and quite frankly, you can write what you want because its your prerogative. SEcond, if I didn't agree with what you write, I can stop reading it, cause well, freedom of speech and all and its my prerogative to not read it. Thirdly, I'm sorry that you felt you had to re-word something on YOUR blog. I missed the first entry and the comment. <br /><br />You make some very sound and justified statements. Parents, are not aware of what's going on/not going on in schools or quite frankly don't care. They are not making their school measure up to acceptable standards. Do you know that in the county I'm in, the kids don't have textbooks to take home? I hear complaint after complaint about a child not understanding something and the parent can't help because they teach it differently than the teacher did and the kids don't understand it. Teachers went on strike here too, because they had 39 children in a classroom and the kids were sharing desks and chairs. Really, how effective is this type of schooling? I lived in Japan and the kids there go to school 250 days a year compared to our 180. <br /><br />Hopefully, this won't bring up too many issues for you!<br />michelle<br />www.eagleeyeacademy.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136688967715659383.post-22491909599937483732010-02-16T17:20:42.079-06:002010-02-16T17:20:42.079-06:00Thanks, Kellie!Thanks, Kellie!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358631883472544059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136688967715659383.post-73814788819214768182010-02-16T16:34:05.369-06:002010-02-16T16:34:05.369-06:00Applause!Applause!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136688967715659383.post-27088963301394153072010-02-16T15:43:29.194-06:002010-02-16T15:43:29.194-06:00Kellie, LOL about the candy wreath. ;-)Kellie, LOL about the candy wreath. ;-)Opus #6https://www.blogger.com/profile/02063785617333740178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136688967715659383.post-47592583171933600802010-02-16T14:54:04.344-06:002010-02-16T14:54:04.344-06:00Awww crud...I missed all of this!

Since I don't know specifically what you're talking about, I'll just say that I've been reading your blog forever (about 3 years, maybe???) and I've never known you to attack anyone. You did attack my candy wreath once, and we all know how that turned out.<br /><br />~KellieThe Pirate Momhttp://www.thepiratemom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136688967715659383.post-5196211818254295422010-02-16T11:01:26.078-06:002010-02-16T11:01:26.078-06:00"But I absolutely cannot accept allowing the ..."But I absolutely cannot accept allowing the political indoctrination of our children in a school setting or the indignant acceptance of that indoctrination by people because it fits their agenda.

I wondered what happened to it. It was there at one point, then I lost connection and when I was able to get back on, the post was gone.<br /><br />I totally agree with you. Your blog is YOUR blog which means it contains your thoughts. It's as simple as that.<br /><br />And I do agree with your view on what's happening in the public school system. My son experienced a similar situation a few months ago when he took his young children out of school the day the President addressed the nations school children. My son's thoughts were similar to mine - parents should have been able to view the entire message before granting permission for their children to view the address. His view wasn't well received at his children's school.Oklahoma Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10053304659210754009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136688967715659383.post-28487528420995895122010-02-16T08:13:37.052-06:002010-02-16T08:13:37.052-06:00I was reading along, well actually skimming along,...I was reading along, well actually skimming along, because I already read it Friday - and then I see "still awake?" Oh GOOD! it wasn't me :) <br /><br />Yes it certainly lacks the passion of the previous blog entry; however I like your explanation and method of dealing with future comments. <br /><br />Shortly I am going to write my own blog entry on school - as soon as I can wrap my head around some things that are going on with Red. It won't have nearly your intellectually punch though ;) <br /><br />Sir thinks I should let some things slide - and since I'm the wife I get to toe the line when he sends out a directive (submissive of me, huh?) but the school and I will be butting heads soon!Browniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14965778402255268108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136688967715659383.post-77975020346355497052010-02-16T08:09:30.545-06:002010-02-16T08:09:30.545-06:00Opus, go ahead and use it!Opus, go ahead and use it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358631883472544059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136688967715659383.post-61771679044481471082010-02-16T07:56:00.260-06:002010-02-16T07:56:00.260-06:00Arby, I guess with all my running around this week...Arby, I guess with all my running around this weekend, I missed your Friday post. So I will assume it was about education. <br /><br />Either way, when I read the first part of this post, I thought that you worded it exactly right. I would like to reblog the earliest part of this post, if that is all right. As I intended to do, and without regard to whatever happened this weekend. We must keep politics out of the school. Which means Americans taking back control of the school curricula to vet what is being taught. Somebody has to provide oversight.<br /><br />I will link to your blog.Opus #6https://www.blogger.com/profile/02063785617333740178noreply@blogger.com
