Sugar Rock candy. Is that something not popular in the northeast or was it before/after my time? I’m 49.
It sounds sugary :)
Good point!
My wife is obese. Should she sue me because I can’t find it?
Explain how giving lawyers money helps.
That’s like a drunk suing the police for not stopping him from driving drunk.
Who is ultimately responsible for teaching students to read and on the other end who is responsible for learning to read?
The teachers in these under-performing schools are paid to teach. If they are failing in that task they should quit or be fired.
If the students want to learn to read who is stopping them? People have taught themselves to read for centuries. With the internet available almost everywhere it should not be that hard.
I bet these schools are getting more money per student than average from the state.
Only in California!
“Lawyers sue California because too many children can’t read”
Nor can California democrat adults with any comprehension.
Sugary? only if you like pure sugar. I am 60 and this was the south, easy recipes on the internet (don’t give it to your kids)
Well we’re in the same age bracket so it must be a southern thing. Now i HAVE to look it up as i like all things southern except the temperature!!! :)
Looked at images.
NEVER seen it before.
It looks like methamphetamine! :)
Gotta get my hands on some and find out what they taste like.
Strange, I thought it was parent(s) job to make sure their children could read...
New York City started giving literacy test to teachers a couple of years ago. Didn’t last long because more than 50% of the minority teachers were failing and that’s RAYCISS.

Wow.
And those so-called teachers will never be fired, they will put in their 20 plus years and collect a pension in retirement that pays them more than their students will rarely earn.
It’s criminal to knowingly put illiterate teachers into schools. It should be a capital crime. It is robbing the students.

Agreed.
There are some serious problems there.
We also have a country where the vast majority of unarmed security guards are Felons.
God only knows who gets hired as a TSA agent.
And then there are the Civil Servants in Government jobs that can’t be fired.
Well, since California has taken it upon itself to spend taxpayer dollars to educate the children of Mexico, it might as well do a good job of it.
“But they speak Spanish better than Queen Isabella.”
Actually not. Many of the Spanish speaking immigrants are poorly educated and do not speak or write well in either language.. When asked if I was bilingual, I used to joke I was bilingually illiterate (actually multilingually). It isn’t a joke now.
Suing on behalf of teachers? Can you sue if you are the cause or at least part of the cause of the problem?
User name checks out...
It was way before your time dp, I for one remember it fondly.
I think you would have to make it at home now, haven’t seen it in stores since the late 50’s or early 60’s.
No, all over the country.
