Here's a question I've asked in a group before, and the responses are always fun: Scenario: You are happily married for many years. You have a nice home with nice things, nice cars, a couple of great kids who got through college and have nice jobs and families of their own. You live in a nice neighb...

Note that the rhyme schemes are gone. ....the King also kept the money he got for hocking his crown - even though he actually hocked his lunch. Thanks for the cartoons MA. I love Marvin Miller's voice (I have a "thing" for voices), and the music of these old cartoons is always fantastic! ...

Well, since you asked...yes I did. :lol: I saw that coming! ;-) If they can understand it, why then can they not control themselves? Testosterone is a powerful thing. We can recognize the hormone imbalance of a postpartum woman as a defence (she needs counseling), but somehow when a man acts on his...

Well, if the person is developmentally delayed, we WOULD know what it means to be that person...for we went through the development, but just proceeded normally, no?

There is a popular opinion that the college experience is just as important in one's development as the education itself. And there you have the college graduate with the useless degr...

I don't think the students who aspire to become cashiers at Barnes and Noble are really suffering from any deficiency in the education system as it is currently being offered. But for those who would aspire to become more but have no hope because a secondary education is out of reach, how much do yo...

I am not qualified to provide a cirriculum (no degree in education here), but in my opinion cirriculum content is the least of our problems. I believe the problem lies in the fact that our students have less opportunity to further their education after graduation. And that means less hope. And that ...

I am reading a Constance Garnett translation. So far it seems pretty standard, but I have read that she can muddle things up a little. I'll look up the comparison, but I don't think it will make much difference in the overall experience. Don't worry about pace. This is definitely going to be a book ...
