Seriously, my disdain for our public education is well known, but I can only think of once where I specifically called you out about something; you do, however, have a penchant for taking my criticisms of American public education personally.
...
Tell you what about what? It was a joke in return. Sarcasm is not well-expressed in typing obviously because your comment, from the views of at least two others, does not come off very humorous as well whether in Hellfire or not. Anyway, I really would like you to quote me, other than the comment above which does sound like it comes off personally, when I have taken anything you have said about education personally? In all honesty, I do not remember especially because most of the Hellfire threads about education, I don't post in them at all.
The only thread I can recall that I last spoke in depth with you about had to do with " whole language learning" as far as I can remember I didn't say anything that came off sounding like I was taking comments personally. I was telling you what the "system" thinks about it. Not me. Also the only other thing I can remember that sounds off would be from the Last Will and Testament Thread.
Quote: To Foamy of course our child and my love
To Elmo my signature for all documents of support for canidates
To Hannibal pagers, a copy of goldeneye, and my comcast bill- YELL AT THOSE Bastards for me
To Michael lots and lots of See's chocolate- Yummy
To Mus- Moosey Hugs and whatever your brain can fancy
To Khross- My job, so you can fix the public school system
This was a joke as well because I know you are the most passionate person about the Public System on here. When I meant fix it I didn't mean it in a condescending way I meant it in a tongue in cheek way to fix the problem.
I don't know if you do read my posts about education, but for the majority they side against the Public School System and on the side of many gladers. That is when I actually do post because for the most part I don't care to get into conversations in the Hellfire about it. I work for the enemy, so I would rather just keep my opinions and thoughts whether people agree with them or not to myself. Plus, I don't have time to post to much because I am off doing my job. Well except as of this week because I have more time with finals.
I don't take it personally but will defend my job when people say it is easy. Especially, when many times all fault is blamed on teachers and none is given to poor parenting, but that is another issue.
I don't know what your impression of me is and whatever it is I would hope that you would not make false ones of me. I read your posts in hellfire and they are well thought-out, genuine, and for the most part have evidence to back them up. I know how you feel about the public school system and I agree, however, I work for the enemy because I know where the money is and here in PA it is in the Public School System. Call me a hypocrite, but unlike your private schools who can kick you out for sneezing wrong, I have to teach your tired, and your poor, and your hungry because until school is no longer mandated as a requirement this is what I do. Until education is a choice(don't mean public, private or home I mean ignorance Vs. Knowledge) this is what I do. Until taxes no longer pay for my salary this is what I do.
Overall the only comments that I take personally on this board, good or bad, are those that come from my husband Foamy or my friends Elmo and Hannibal, because they know me. No one else here does.
Overall go ahead and bad mouth the public school system in this country all you want, but unless you can quote me taking it personally, please don't make assumptions.
