You do know back in the 50's I believe that the structure for school curriculum was changed so that women would be able to learn easier. The way that schools were previously being taught were easier for men to learn than women. This is just a continuation of that. While I don't believe analyzing poetry is wrong, I do believe they need to make some better choices. This is just my opinion. And I'd like to point out that America now is catering to much to everyone and taking away unity at the same time. Black people from Canada aren't Afro-Canadians. They're Canadians, yet we have Hispanic Americans, Afro-Americans, etc ... this is bullbutter in my opinion. As for catering to everyone, large businesses are pressured to maintain certain levels of employment of those other than white males. While I'll agree that something like this should have been done in the fifties where their were a lot of racist pricks running around, we've should've learned our lesson by now and burried the bigotry. However it doesn't seem that way.

Just my opinion

You have a good point. My daughter is a teacher who will leave her job after 5 years because of school structure and curriculum, she thinks a teachers job is to teach students how to think. Then they can learn for thereselfs. Instead she says everything is set up to teach them to pass test so the schools look good. Also the Idea that you can put childern with behavoral problems in a class room and this will solve everything is insane.

Jake, I agree with your daughter on her beliefs about education and what the schools are doing. I also received a few degrees in educ. (SEMO) and feel the same way she does. Teaching is not about "teaching" the kids...it is about how good the schools look so that they are able to aquire more money.

I had a wonderful professor who said that you can tell a good teacher from a bad teacher...the good teacher will involve herself with the kids..keep them active, teach them through play ect...a bad teacher hands out paperwork and then sits at her desk.

I wish your daughter my best and thank goodness there are still GREAT teachers out there!!!! Go Jakes daughter!

I asked a woman friend what was it that she wanted. The thought for a second and when the light bulb lit up she responded to me with, "I want implants, liposuction, and the wrinkles remeoved from my face."

There you have it...straight from the "womans" mouth. Now, I know that is only one womans desires...hey, J-13 I was your reporter out in the field. Got any more assignments for me?

This is why more and more people are homeschooling.

I don't think this has anything to do with gearing learning towards women to help them learn easier. This is the teacher being a deuchebag. I had a deuchebag english teacher back in 11th grade. She majored in social work, not english, and I don't know how she became an english teacher, because all she cared about was her "social work". Our class learned about important things like sex among teens and the outbreak of stds in highschool. We really didn't read anything that was on the 11th grade corriculum. Everybody in my calss thought it was rediculous, maybe she'd be ok teaching ninth grade regents, but that was 11th grade honors. We tried to get her fired for the wussy ass projects she gave us but there was a shortage of teachers and an overpopulation of students. The adminstration didn't listen to the students at all.

okay, the point of the assigment was to really show that we all want love and equailty which was the main message you heard from both males and females as to "what women want" but, on the respoecte it was tied into "a bath's wife tale" a queen gives a knight who raped a girl to find out what all women want. he finds it from an old witch, promises hand, spared life, marries old witch (hand) and says i'll leave how you want to be up to you so she changes herself to be young.
i have good teachers most generally in engilsh and history it varies. but bid her good luck. you must be in the system to destory or else be outside and destory the source. both requires vigualnce and self pervaison.

A good friend of mine an anglo indian, grew up in india during the occupation of india. His father was killed during the rebellion of 1947. He was sent back to london to finnish school. lived there the rest of his life. he did a study of the chickennee accent in the english speaking peoples of the U.K.. He had it down to less than a square mile in I think he said south london. That is to say the area called greater London. Knowing that London its self is a small area. I also enjoy my fair Lady.

Parallax, this is why the English cannot learn to speak...it is too darn confusing!!!!!



The English Language

Reasons Why English is so Hard to Learn!

1) The bandage was wound around the wound.
2) The farm was used to produce produce.
3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
4) We must polish the Polish furniture.
5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.
6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to
present the present.
8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
10) I did not object to the ZZZobject.
11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.
13) They were too close to the door to close it.
14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.
15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.
16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail.
18) After a number of injections my jaw got number.
19) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.
20) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.

Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an
eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.

Sweetmeats are candies, while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.
But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly,
boxing rings
are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. You
park in the driveway but you drive on the parkway.

You ship by truck and send cargo by ship. How can a slim chance and fat
chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You
have to
marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn
up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and
in which an alarm goes off
by going on. When the stars are out, they are visible, but when the
lights are out, they are invisible.

And finally, how about when you want to shut down your computer you have
to hit: "START"!!
