I seem to remember working people who could actually do what they were being paid to do. True, certain practitioners exceeded the norm--they were the notable exceptions.

OK, let me take another tack. Are you ever surprised when a product that you have purchased actually does what it is advertised to do?

I think our education system and our culture in general is teaching many people that “serving” shouldn’t be expected.

I never believe advertisements. I believe reviews. But you're right, there are a lot of things that don't work as advertised but (from my POV) work as expected.

OTOH: The quality of clothing manufacture has taken a nosedive since my 40s (or earlier?). But that's not the U.S. education system, is it.

Maybe we're just doing a beter job in our education system teaching people how to lie.

My great niece gave me a gizzard-full of information about what she didn't learn. Her parents were horrified. I was shocked.

T-c, I'm so happy that you home schooled your kids.

ArG, you're one of those truly superior performers. Your IPR skills are incomparable, and your employment history undoubtedly bespeaks exceptional competencies. (I wish I had a copy of the journal article you wrote years ago.)

Unless metmom has been misleading us about the path that public schools have taken, I'm pretty alarmed.

My Offspring have “A Scout is Helpful” drummed into their heads, and then the get the example of service and opportunities to practice it. When we’re working on camp staff, adults often tell me, “I saw your son at (fishing, crafts, knot-tying). He’s such a nice boy!”

Even James and His Hair.

I don’t doubt it for a minute.

[metmom]

I only ping what is posted here on FR.

[Silentgypsy]

It’s very informative.

Good day, SG!

Hoping that all is well with you and yours...

Hey, Ganag!

We’re in Santa Rosa, New Mexico tonight and will be in Flagstaff tomorrow night, and home the next night. It has been hard after that fall I took, but it has also been pleasant.

Riding with a trucker brings a whole new level to the term “Road Trip!” We stop at truck stops for gas and he generously has contributed his points card so the gas is up to 10 cents a gallon less than I would have paid.

I’m about busted for the night, so I’m going to sign off for now. I’ll try to check in in the AM, but if not, I’ll text T-c and she can give my wishes for a Friday!

I have no idea when I’ll be up, but, I’ll be up! Have a good night, all of you!

Good job on the Wordle, and very good driving advice!

👍🏻

It will be nice if we get some rain this month... had 0” of precip for July...

Unless metmom has been misleading us about the path that public schools have taken, I'm pretty alarmed.

I don't think that it is misleading at all... even out here, in very rural Texas, people are falling over themselves to yank their kids out of the public schools and get them into each private and/or Christian school that opens up... they are clamoring for the Classic education schools and willing to pay a lot of money to get their kids into them...

[zzeeman]

Sounds like a good day’s drive, ‘Face... glad that it is moving right along... how is I-40 treating y’all?

[metmom]

I wish we could sent you some of ours.

[zzeeman]

We would gladly accept it!

[Tax-chick]

Gosh!

[Silentgypsy]

Hey, zz—good to see you!

[Silentgypsy]

Hey, ‘face! Wondered where you were. Safe travels!
