för 16 dagar sedan47:14

47:14

Neighbor, here's a PSA: if you're going to take your kids out of public school, you should have to look every other kid in the eye and say: "My kid deserves more than you do." LOL!!!! A member of a school board in Alabama literally said that. (And then turned off the comments because it wasn't going well for her.) Next: What's wrong with vouchers? And what happens to first-year teachers--fresh out of college--that imemediately turns them into crazy, union-loving, copying-and-pasting activists? Finally: If you try to change the church by-laws, you may have to step over the bodies you leave behind you. And also--you can't make kids eat good food. That's bad.
