You have to wonder if those teachers were beat as kids and thought it was an effective method of discipline. Thanks for the comment Gerald!

Hero Pilot Not the Only One Scoring Big - Blog Entry

I agree Heidi, though I still think the passengers should get the lifetime VIP treatment for the very reason you cited---most of them probably won't fly much in the next year anyway b/c they are so traumatized by the incident. What did you make of Sully's appearance on Capitol Hill this week? Do you think that pilots should be getting paid more like he recommended? He said his family suffered financially b/c of the sparse pay he got... seeing his house on TV I find that hard to believe, but you never know.

Good point Gerald! It was a teacher who taught him to read test directions very carefully. Too bad the test developers didn't follow suit.

When this teen becomes a parent we'll see how much he appreciated his mom's "harshness."

IMO I highly doubt these two care much about the sanctity of marriage when you have couples like Angie and Brad and countless others having kids by the dozens and not giving it a second thought. I agree 1stTimeMomof2, at least it spares us from reading about the messy divorce. But not about the messy custody battle.

How Often Do You Yell at Your Kids? - Blog Entry

Snow-white, I would suggest breaking the cycle. Until you do I doubt anything will change. Have you considered setting up a schedule for your daughter to adhere to? Is she the 13 or 9-year-old? If she gets into a routine, knows what is expected from her, and knows you will follow through with a punishment I would think that would be incentive for her to shape up... and that would mean less yelling on your part.

I agree with all of your comments. Whatever works, IMO!! Also, I agree with Samual that drunks who get behind the wheel don't get nearly the punishment they deserve. I think it will be a LONG time before this kid gets his... at least one can hope.

How do you find time to watch all the coverage? I'm lucky if I get to watch part of the red carpet and some of the actual show... the rest I have to get in bits and pieces. You must host a heckuva party!!

I guess she's not getting the mansion after all, she was just there shooting an interview with Dr. Phil. Her dad is going to be on Oprah next Tuesday. Should be um... interesting!
