Here's another school story. It seems that they are never good anymore.
This ping list is for the "other" articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. If you want on/off this list, please freepmail me. The main Homeschool Ping List by DaveLoneRanger handles the homeschool-specific articles.
Sky?
Hopefully short for 'Schuyler'.
That's better?
Less new-agey-hippie-wannabe? Undoubtedly.
"Real Men Don't Eat Quiche"
I once met a woman who had a son named Ocean. No kidding.
Mr. Tired of Taxes and I once discussed naming one of our kids Seven (after a Seinfeld episode). But we came to our senses and picked a more traditional name in the end. ;-)
Education ping.
Let McVey, JamesP81 or me know if you want on or off this education ping list.
I know of a girl named Virginia Chastity. Try going through school with that name.
'Likes the socioeconomic diversity' -- I think it is disgusting when parents make their KIDS live their fantasies. Inner city schools are dangerous and chaotic. You wouldn't want to be in them, why put your kids in them? Homeschool homeschool.
Went to a reception recently where the groom's name was Skyler. Didn't know him so I don't know if he went by Sky or not. I might choose Bubba if I had a name like that.
What little I know of Vashon Island is that it's a hangout for what passes today for Hippies: mainly DINKs who like to spend their time biking, hiking, growing flowers and other back-to-nature activities but also like to have Seattle just a ferry ride away. Some vacation homes rented to year-round residents. Pretty but exclusively in a middle-class way.
Does anyone know the inside about Seattle schools? I did 10 years in Philly. They recently had a group of high school girls, and a mother, jump and beat up another girl. That is par for Philly and it often gets much worse.
Compared to what goes on there, Seattle seems like a dream environment. Aside from the high level of PC crap that I've read about, what's the problem w/the local schools? Of all the things they might be, "too violent" wasn't something that came to mind. Maybe mom is just a tad overprotective?
I could provide plenty of good ones if needed. While there are indeed many negative ones, the positive ones never get heard or emphasized in our cynical society.
I'm happy to be a man's man...but can I still eat sushi?
