Dr. Wintertime:
I will, following this post, certainly acquiesce to your request. It is reasonable and without a doubt fair. I am a gentleman, fancy myself a scholar (at least Florida State felt me worthy enough to award me a Masters degree in Latin) so it is only right to show deference to one that is my senior in age and education.
Henceforth I will:
* Not respond to vitriol and condemnation of the career I feel faith has led me to;
* Overlook previous threads of complaints to administration over inabilities to responds to posts/threads;
* Stand idly by and watch for anecdotal evidence that furthers absolutely no discussion;
* Bear witness to an obvious double standard of postings;
* Hear how I am destined to rot for my decisions to send my children to public schools and work in the same;
* Am Godless and ignoring the words of Christ (which is funny, because I do preach the Gospel on occasion)
* Read posts that seek to hear their own echos
* Be accused of Alinsky-like tactics;
* Called, indirectly, a Marxist and Useful Idiot;
* Ignore obvious cognitive dissonance;
* Be accused of a complete lack of professionalism, while watching the same unfold before me;
* Read how everything is wrong with public education but take no steps to resolve them;
* Try to see how a thing that lacks a soul can be evil;
* Accept anecdotal evidence as empirical;
* See there is but one way to properly educate all children, regardless of any extraneous factors;
* Watch those who are challenged in a fair exchange run and flee
* Realize that all bullies get what is coming to them in the end - especially when they are called out for who they are;
* Learn that good ideas do win, because people are not stupid;
* And lastly,
Read my tagline.
