yeah thats true, like coal mining in W Virginia, you dont need to be able to read to work the line, but your still making the company a lot of money with your time... or was. that era seems to be gone. whats left but to get your disability and get high.
how is it in W. Virginia? i imagine it as pretty rough. All the drugs there and stuff. I have driven through a couple times it struck me as a pretty tough place. How are the schools there? I could not imagine raising a family there. Although im sure not all of W. virginia is like its...
im a transplant. I have only been here for 16 years. Ive never had any reason to leave. I love my neighbors and as far as I can tell, they love me back. Schools are the one big question mark at the moment.
parents shouting with school board members seems a lot healthier than beimg governed by a state government made up of people who would never even set foot in the city, much less care about the kids there. Their only worry is the effect on the state budget. There is noone to yell at now and i...

i was a subsitute teacher in detroit in 2002-2003. i taught in a lot of different schools. some of them were excellent, others not so much. the situation was far better than it is today. it borders on criminal. oh and bobb was paid 500,000 a year to dismantle the school system. They folks...
thats crap Jay. burning a school down, which literally has been done, does nothing for anyone and permanently destroys a community. these schools were the bedrock of the communities and neighborhoods they served. that will never be rebuilt, its lost, destroyed. gone. its incredibly painful...
they do have the ability to be more creative. They can be more experimental, flexible and not bound by the same restrictions as your standard public school. I will give them that. There are some excellent charter schools.
or a huge amount of work and exhausting. Its hard to come up with different things to do. it also means that one of us would have to work extra hard so the other would not have to work at all.
we have thought about home schooling. but that is a huge amount of work. im not so much worried about academics as we can provide that. i would like my kids to have a social environment that is stable and helps them learn to be decent people and not weirdos. We have talked about home...
