Cleaning out years of projects and student art from her classroom was an emotional process for Teri Cowan, but she felt it was her only choice. Cowan worked for the Ector County Independent School District for 23 years, 13 of those years teaching Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate sophomore English at Odessa High School. She was teacher of the year for the 2010-11 school year at the high school and secondary teacher of the year for ECISD for the 1995-96 school year. As well as volunteering as the National Honor Society, prom and class council sponsors. Tuesday, Jan. 17, was

When you make outrageous claims I will respond to them, that is the wonderful thing about living in a free country.
If you are afraid to deal with the issues I raise that says much more about you. If you don't want me to respond to your prevarications then don't post.
Then why did you send your children when it was convenient? Why did your children go to public community colleges? Why did you go to a state school? Why have your grandchildren gone to public institutions?
There is a great download from Grease Monkey called Killfile.
It blocks posters. I’ve used it on a few posters who are so full of themselves, I see no reason to respond to their bile.
And it give you a sweet little Monkey at the top of your browser window. Cutest thing you’ve ever seen. So if you want to dump a pu!z and have them babbling to themselves on a thread, go here.
Install it then go to your add-ons (you have to be using Firefox) and add http://www.freerepublic.com to your Killfile. If you need help PM me.
There is nothing more fun than to see others responding to the jerks that you’ve blocked!
Because nothing screams credibility like the inability or unwillingness to defend your position.

This from the person who has a truly warranted problem with Anti-Catholics.
None are so blind than those who will not see, none so deaf as those who will not hear. And I live by the “Do not cast pearls before swine” verse. The Lord is bigger than my internet cred.
If you’re reasonable, I’ll talk to you. If you’re a swine, I block you. Simple as that.
Thank you.
I am and have always been more than reasonable. I have openly supported ALL of your ideas to correct problems in the educational system, with the exception of the wholesale destruction of a system that works for 80% of the population.
This from the person who has a truly warranted problem with Anti-Catholics.
And what is wrong with "having a problem" with anti-Catholics? That is a serious question. We are supposed to be willing to defend our faith. If you are not willing to do that why do you call yourself a member?
L:Do you honestly think God is going to look favorably on Wintertime for not taking Metmom to task on her bigoted comments?
And I am certain that you never passed this negative attitude on to your children and you taught them to have respect for their elders and those in position of authority.forget parent of the year, you should be parent of the decade or maybe century
>>I am and have always been more than reasonable.<<
Look, when ya call people Nazis, you’re bordering on bovine.
Maybe you need to look inward. Sometimes when you lose friends, and the team is against you, it’s you. I’ve had two run ins with you, including this one, while we have been involved tons of times on the religion forum. Yet, YOU instantly made me “them”. Either you forget who I am or who YOU are.
>>And what is wrong with “having a problem” with anti-Catholics? <<
Well there is your problem, you don’t READ. Look at what you wrote.
“Because nothing screams credibility like the inability or unwillingness to defend your position.”
Look back at my post and see the words “truly warranted problems with Anti-Catholics”. That means you’re right in your problems with them. You can debate in circles with them and get no where. After one has presented one’s case, one is not debating anymore BECAUSE someone isn’t hearing what one has to say. (see that’s in Religion Forum language) I’ve been in tons of circular arguments with people that do nothing, but fall to insults and the near occasion of sin (hint, hint). That’s why I try not to go there. Pearls before Swine and all that, you know.
>>Do you honestly think God is going to look favorably on Wintertime for not taking Metmom to task on her bigoted comments? <<
None of us know the mind of God. Worry about you, FRiend. As for me, Metmom has a problem with my religion but as a Catholic, I have no problem with hers. I can’t change anyone. Neither can any other FReeper.
