The Pressure to Be Perfect

That's interesting. I was rewarded for best attendance in high school and I went on one Senior Skip day and was out for 2 weeks with the flu in the 10th grade.

It wasn't something I strove for... it just happened. I loosened up alot more in college... chances are she will too.

Everybody Loves Jamie Foxx

As an African American, I definitely believe in black actors crossing color lines to play parts that had been written for white people... but it would take ALOT of makeup for him to resemble Frank Sinatra in any way.

Spanking in School

When I was in school my mother assaulted a teacher for hitting me. I was in 1st grade. I don't know if I would have a cooler head than she did.

Parents who spank their kids are called child abusers, and teachers get away with it. As a parent I would take things into my own hands... fortunately though we homeschool, so I don't have to worry about getting myself arrested or sued.

I have never been to an easter egg hunt where there was not crying... granted, I stopped at about three. I just bought the kids a filled basket and went on about my day.

have these people ever heard of Nair?... even the hairiest children should not have to undergo a painful hair removal procedure. Even still anything under 13 is far too young, and under 16 is questionable.

When the Student is Smarter than the Teacher

03 Mar 2009 09:34 AM

My son recently caught an error in his homeschool geometry curriculum. You'd be amazed how many errors there are in student materials... it is a shame because a compliant child would believe that his thinking was wrong and therefore not understand the material.
