Good morning. Why in the world can't such teachers let kindergarteners be children...playing w/each other, learning to count, learning their ABCs, painting, etc.

Exposing them to such unproven "facts" is not age appropriate.

Although the temperature is not as low here (20s) as some of you are having, it is posing a problem for me inside my house.

You see, my heat pump is on the blink again....and rather than spend any more $$$$ in a seemingly bottomless hole for repairs on this one, I bought a new one yesterday. The forecast of snow and ice for tomorrow, however, means that it can't be installed until Friday afternoon or Saturday. Thank goodness, I have gas logs and Ugg boots to keep reasonably warm until then.

CM, it's a shame you need a new heat pump, but you must have a reliable heat source. Thank goodness for your logs. Try to stay warm.

I'm glad you bought a new one but sure wish they could install it ASAP. Thank goodness for gas logs.

There's another new book that is being introduced in schools called The Two Kings; they have a family. I can't remember what year the book is introduced but do remember it was at a young age.

Those gas logs, a good investment, right?
