Ummm, I had a few 'deportments' put on me when I was in school, it was called 'blackboard' and you wrote, 'I will not chew gum in class', etc. Or, 'I will not talk in class' and you wrote it over and over and after class, you cleaned the blackboards. The problem with public education is they are expermenting, and have been for years and years and can't find the solutions.

In case anyone out there is confused, we have gone to a "WEEKEND EDITION" at ATRW.

Continue posting here through Monday morning.

Hey, we'd appreciate prayers for my niece's brother-in-law who was in a serious car accident this morning and is in the trauma center in a Nashville hospital. My niece's husband, who lives near us, is his only sibling and they are quite close. Our Sunday morning was thrown into disarray this morning when we heard about it as my oldest daughter had to stay home to babysit my sister's grandkids so she could play in church while daughter and son-in-law went to the hospital.

On another note, I have more to say about the effect of public school on my kids. My wife told me last night at dinner that our first-grader said that the other kids are already talking about girlfriend and boyfriend and one of the girls said to a boy, "You just want to have sex with me." My jaw dropped open when I heard that 6-year-olds talk like that. It took a little longer for my wife to register alarm, but the more she thinks about it, the more it bothers her.

Now we're wondering if opening a Christian school here might be one reason God had us move here. We know there is support for a Christian school from at least one pastor and presumably several churches. Any thoughts?
