Do you know another pair of words for suspending a teacher with pay in May? Summer vacation. This teacher hasn't been punished at all, and there's no reason to believe she will suddenly learn her subject this summer. She is teaching her students false information.

First ammendment rights are a little more complicated in a school and with minor children. I think Jiro and Foxrac are closer to being correct on that issue. If students had complete freedom of speech there would be chaos in the classroom and no teaching would get done. Teachers do have the...

That's terrible, and your teacher should have been fired. That teacher never should have been working with children in the first place, actually. When we adopted our special needs child we considered putting her school, but the teacher's aid in the special class where our daughter would have...

Of course she does, and everybody knows that. But in this case, she is the one who started the political discussion. It's a social studies class, and she wanted to talk about politics, and she wanted the students to discuss politics. The problem was she didn't want anybody to disagree with...

I printed out the vocab words and sentences from Lifeprint lessons that we've gone through, and pasted them to index cards. Once a day my youngest two and I go through about 20 of the cards each- we each have a stack, and take turns signing to the others. That's in addition to trying to use...

You have full equality in marriage. You have the same rights as everybody else- you can marry a member of the opposite gender who is free to marry you. You don't want equality, you want special rights and you want to force others to accept those special rights. You want to use the full force...

It also is everybody's business when the government redefining marriage would mean that the owner of a rental or a bed adn breakfast would be forced by law to rent to a gay couple even if the owner of the property feels that is immoral. Once the government redefines marriage, that will lead to...

There has never been a successful culture anywhere at any time that redefined marriage to mean something other than between opposite genders of human beings. Making such a sweeping redefinition of a basic human institution- and doing it by resorting to the full force of government- is...

I would also like permission to print this out and share it with my fellow ASL learners. Thanks so much for sharing this, Kristina.

It's interesting how the more facts that come out in support of Zimmerman's story, the more certain some people become of his guilt and even of the sentence he is going to receive. Will there be any shame, admission of being wrong, rethinking of the positions that led you to this point if...

I think Kokonut was joking about your fellow student's ignorance. He didn't mean he thought you were really wearing radios. Regarding the teacher's smell- wonder if he ate a lot of pickles or some other fermented product.

Straw men are so much easier to deal with than actual facts.

I am thinking that it's pouring down rain and the kids left the rugs on the line.

We buy something called throat coat tea from the natural food's store. Very soothing.

I have never seen anything like that (or maybe I just didn't notice). I have trouble hearing at the drive through myself- the speakers are always poor quality. I'm sorry, Faded Rose, that you had such a hard time that day, and that this person who didn't know her job made you feel bad...

How do your parents feel about you learning sign? just out of curiosity?

I need to fnd more opportunities of socializing, but don't know where or how. I did just find out about a deaf coffee at a town an hour north of me once a month. The next meeting is on a day I'll be out of town,b ut maybe I will skulk in the back of the coffee shop some time in July.

We reuse bags sometimes. I often shop at a Save-a-Lot or Aldi's, and they aren't organic or upscale, and you have to bring your own bag, or buy one, or use the boxes on the shelves.

Hate crimes are essentially *thought* crimes- it's not bad enough to simply commit a crime, committing a thought crime raises the stakes. Hate crime laws (like many other poorly thought out laws) create and attract exploitation and corruption, they actually offer incentives for crying wolf-...

Frisky, how old are your children, if you don't mind me asking? I don't think I should answer the poll. I am hearing, my family is all hearing (except the one son-in-law who is deaf in one ear). I have a nonverbal daughter who uses some sign- but it's very basic (eat, toilet, drink, more...
