Not soon enough for me :(

Did you read the John Gatto paper I posted? He taught in NY city and wrote The Underground History of American Education. You really might enjoy reading it.

That is prolbey one of the best summaies of america's school system today as i am in 10th grade at a high school with 2400 students i completely see what he is talking about. How we are all forming into a mold and that independance and indiviuality is looked down apon and how many of the greatest americans that have ever lived never had education though middle school. I will be showing this site to some teachers to see their opinion . The Jay bennish guy was also a very good article he done somthing that took guts to do and i am glad someone has done something like that.

who was brave? Jay " the one sided socialist teacher" or the kid that had the balls to record him and take it to the press.....

The Kid.....is the hero.

it was a big deal here in Colorado

shit google ward churchill...another of colorados finest..... OMG we are done for.


BC, I have not red the article.

ask BG, I cant read...........im not smart enough.

I feel so happy I'm not the only one who says this. "Thou shalt not kill" There's no room for exceptions. My Christian-Conservative 'friends' always try and say it's OK for soldiers and people in specific situations, but the Bible doesnt' say anything else but "Thou Shalt Not Kill"

Aint it the truth. Christian conservatives are for the death penalty and against abortion, An oxymoron if ever there was! It's ok to kill you once you're born! Now as far as war, if it is profitable, then it's allright to kill the "Enemy", the dead Americans are considered collateral damage along with the hundreds of thousands of civilian dead. The almighty dollar rules! I think that every person that condones this war should have to go there and fight! That would stop the damn thing!

I could also create the promo, too, if you prefer. Above all, I want you see that I think getting those younger opinions is important, too, and that I truly didn't move this thread over some arbitrary "mod power" decision.

That's a wonderful idea.

Well said.

BlueCat, I've been skimming through that paper, and it's great. I tutor students at a middle school, and I'm starting to realize the failures of our education system. Not that NCLB is helping.

Well, it seems that the majority of this thread has unfortunately been focussed on issues other than the main one, and the only important one --


THE IRAQ ESCALATION and the horrors it will bring.

And the peace it could bring......is what he ment to say.


If it doesnt work i say...lets bring them all home and triple our forces so when we get hit again....we wont fuck around. like we did this time.

Yes I am afraid you are right Lucky....I kind of enjoy when a thread takes a detour ....the mind can hide elsewhere for a sec...:)

I am glad you liked the paper, sirkills you should check out the book...
