Why aren't there more good teachers? Read on: http://l-empress.liscious.net/older/005420.html I wrote that five years ago, but the facts came to us all nearly fifty years ago. Whenever I think about the accomplished mathematicians, physicists, biologists, and chemists who sincerely wanted to teach, I'm ready to weep. Their choice had to be between the fields they loved and the "ed" courses. On the other hand, our state -- which has "well-qualified" teachers -- receives less funding from the "Every child left behind" act, despite thousands of kids who desperately need better teachers.

It's me again. I think I was browsing recent posts and yours was up. You wrote intelligently. And then I began to read about the eye-popping nightmares you call your parents. I was/am intrigued. I pay good money to be able to talk with other people, albeit with adult psychiatric supervision, about how my and their parents have messed us up. I grew up here on the east coast. My M&D drive me bonkers as well. Only now, as their physical and mental degradation from aging accelerates they're becoming less stressful on my psyche and more stressful due to their growing needs. As for your parents religious extremism, you might try memorizing Matthew 22:36-40, "Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love he Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." That's enough for now. email me if you'd like.
