Catholic school?
Why? So they can learn how to feel guilty about everything?

Yep. I don’t care, but the education is top notch. But it is ok keep sending your kids to the government school I don’t care.

“Catholic school?

You are right about each generation doing it their way!

I stayed in touch with several close friends and bridesmaids etc. They are all gone now and I do not know if I would go again...maybe.

I probably would be about the healthiest and most fit in the group...some did not come because of weight or other problems. 1700 miles would be quite a drive.

Maybe it’s not bigotry but experience.

I happen to agree with him.

Because, of course, Catholic schools are the only private schools where the students get taught about morals.

When I was in High School, the school used the BEST COMPANY to layout and print the yearbook - not the one that looked the most “like America”.

I'm not telling you that American civilization will end because the publishing .is ..deteriorating.

Perhaps not end, but it is sad to see the language deteriorate to the point of being ludicrous. Many college educated students can't utter or write a correct sentence in English, much less edit somebody's work.

One of my nieces, who is planning on going to law school (at least it's not gender studies), has to use "like" about every 3rd word. Not being her parent, I can't sit her down and tell her that she will be judged by her language and valley girl speak says "dumb".

As a teacher I'm sure this was just a typo on your part.

I was a yearbook adviser when I taught high school. . . . to make sure there is no errors . . .

Should be . . . to make sure there are no errors.

“The books should be returned to the printer and reprinted correctly, or did they not pay for editing?”

Generally, when sending a job to a printer, you are responsible for all content, the printer is responsible for a good print job.

In my experience you can buy editing, and for such an important book in the lives of any graduating classes... I would think it proper to pay for it. Usually an English teacher is on the committee and proofreads the book for the initial approvals....it appears no proofreading happened.

And where did you attend school? Wait, let me guess...”Makeupyour ownmoralsanythinggoes High School” where the school motto is “Whatever You Feel is Right for You”.

Actually, yes. I attended California public schools.

Maybe you should read a little further down the thread.

And seek help from your doctor for that jerking knee problem.
