there are many hard-working, sincere ones

Sigh. Five percent of "many" would be quite a few, wouldn't it? But it wouldn't be "most." Elementary arithmetic.

My original, on-topic comment had to do with the ugly script taught in US public schools (and about "most" public schoolteachers). If you do any research about graphology, you will find that many graphologists agree with my characterization of that "schoolteacher" script --i.e., that it is typical of unimaginative personalities.

But I understand you like to "stick with your own area." So please, do. I'm not going to get in an OT pissing contest with you.

LOL! My original, on-topic comment had to do with the ugly script taught in US public schools (and about "most" public schoolteachers).

Maybe the "script" is, but I WOULD agree that we do often develope OUR own handwriting sometimes indicative of OUR own personalities. But I understand you like to "stick with your own area." So please, do. I'm not going to get in an OT pissing contest with you.

Who said we were talking about the "O--ld T--estamene?" Nah, you are right on a little bit though. I do get kind of po'd at some of the statements made when I know of me and many other schoolteachers who do work hard and try our best to make a difference in the lives of the little ones. With society focus on negativity, placing the blame, and such, it is no wonder I suppose. And again, on one other area, you are right. I DO stick to my own area because really what concerns me the most are not what those who have something against teachers say, it's those 22 little souls in the class and what their parents say that I value more. It's my privilege each year to be witness to countless little miracles that you'll never see in the papers or talked about much. I WILL say though, if you ever did make a general statement against stay-at-home moms or the Boy Scouts, I'd been on you even faster.
