Whoa! That kinda fired ol' Gitzy up. Looks like Gitzy had too many snuggies when going up. I see him as the kid in the corner with dark rings under his eyes. But what ever you do, don't upset him! Woo Whee!

And this simple picture of a bear became a matter of political issues because....?????
Funny how when I saw the poster, it would be political. Got the blinders on for sure Beachery. As expected. Well done.

I stand chagrined. You obviously know about the teaching field and your career is/was certainly more than noble. You answered my tirade in a calm and specific manner and I respect that. Guess I kind of 'jumped the gun' so to speak.
Indeed, the schools have an enormous responsibility that I don't see going away anytime soon. Stir into the pot, students with special needs, Out of control discipline, over reactive parents, lack of administrative support, insubstantial pay, ( I have not received a raise in two years and lost $5,000 per year when Scott waker was elected-but that is another story,)that I bagged it up after 34 years of public instruction and now I have a teaching job in the Easteren province of Saudi Arabia - I just arrived 3 days ago. things are beginning to look up and appear much better now. Thanks for your repost and good luck in the future.
Good luck in what you do...

Sure be glad to. You ain't that much fun to talk with any way.

I think my reading is ok. Perhaps you should look at what's-her-names last two sentences.... 60% & 40% equals 100% percent that is given to education & first responders. She said " that money is NOT well spent. Granted, our education system is going over some bumpy roads, but teachers can't do it alone. We need parents and community members who care and are willing to work WITH the system. we are all in this together, like it or not. I'll tell you one thing, calling our ED. system deplorable and bitching about it will NOT help. We need solutions. Kids will not go away, and they don't learn by themselves. They are products of all of us in many shapes and forms. "We" all need to do our part. The children really do need all of us.

Seems as though you were not a first responder either. What ever you did as employment you must have been good 'cause you "shore due sound smart".

Instead of sitting back and complaining about the education system, if you're retired, then chip in and volunteer. I know I'm going to hear it from the cantankerous retired republicans 'cause us teachers are like blood sucking ticks that drain american communities of all life. Tell you what - that is not true, and before one starts pissing and moaning about the education system, walk a mile in a teachers shoes and THEN see what you think. I'm not sure I know what your career was, but I'm sure it is or was worthy and I'm not so ignorant that I am going to slam it. 'Know why? Unless it was a teacher, ( Which I am quite sure it was not) I didn't do it, so I'm not going to knock it. Don't sit on your puffy patoot, get up and help the education system if you feel it is failing - better yet, run for school board. Otherwise how 'bout a nice warm cup of shut the "F" up. Thank you and I support this message.

A Meagre yet not bad come back. I'll give you credit.

from your choice of written retaliation you must have huge nuts, drive a big truck and shoot a high powered rifle with a thousand cartridge magazine. Then I look at your silly picture and think " Naw, probably not".

Once again Bitchery, You just gotta name call dontcha? Libitards? Obummer? Try and at least fight without whining through your nose. And if you do, I promise I'll work on my spelling. I bet your were the 98 pound guy who always had to have the last word so you spent you pre adolescent years in a perpetual Snuggy.

Knew it was only a matter of time before someone brought up our president in a negative manner. hate to tell you, but you still have over two years to go before you can elect your new solution to the post.

That is the best you can do? Are you still in 3rd grade?" Sticks and stones may break my bones..."
"Look in the mirror"? really? are you serious? GO back and watch your Sarah Palin videos to get your fix.
