Ah Ha! An epiphany! You must work for the education-industrial complex ( appologies to Ike Eisenhower). The only way for you to know about actual practice is to be one of the workers.

Oh my gosh! Do your friends call you Sherlock Holmes?

It's no secret that I'm a high school teacher. There are a number of FReepers who are or were public school teachers, and still more whose spouses, parents, or children are.

Please tell me. Are you paid by the NEA or the Democratic Party to troll on message board defending government indoctrination camps ( mis-named schools)?

Sorry, don't belong to and am not paid by either organization.

By the way, what's with the annoying characters separating the quotes from your posts? I'll bet a bright person like you could learn a bit of HTML in no time, and then you could format your posts like the rest of us do.

Amelia,

I am fully capable of using HTML. It is slow and irritating to use it. The characters are to separate the quote from my response.

Oh....and thank you for the compliment. I am bright. Bright enough to know that government schools would have turned my NORMAL child into blithering, drooling institutionalized idiots.

For shame, Amelia ... I'll bet you are bright enough to understand that when logic and reason fail ... many have no alternative but to resort to snide remarks and to try to change the subject.

I have noticed that a surprising number of FReepers choose not to use html coding. I am not a computer whiz and had never heard of html, myself, until 6 months ago ... but, just because I tend to like gimmicks, I took to it like a duck to water. html coding is not essential to communication.


Try to keep your eye on the substance of the thread instead of mere symbolism!
LOL
