But when I respond to comments on my blog, then I think (later) that actually more people have commented and go back to look at who left all those comments and see it was just me, I'm disappointed. Just giving you fair warning.<br /><br />Actually, the topic of public education is depressing. Especially here in Texas, which already undervalues public education so severely. Austin (my son) thinks that the only way to make some kids value education is to take it away -- to no longer make it free, or easy to obtain. Obviously there are some major problems with that line of thought, but it is discouraging to see kids so apathetic about learning anything in school. To say nothing of the problems with the whole public education method of teaching. Kids who are highly motivated and want to learn will do so, even in difficult circumstances. It's everybody else I worry about.Julie Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12134219384328248188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777572921251253526.post-14289492123052375182011-04-11T17:55:17.849-07:002011-04-11T17:55:17.849-07:00Hi Sardine Mama, I agree that this is a wonderful,...Hi Sardine Mama, I agree that this is a wonderful, well-articulated post. My kids are still in preschool (4 & 2 years-old) and I'm already dreading the MCAS testing they'll face in public school. <br /><br />I'm also writing to tell you that you won the cookbook contest on my blog (veganonceaday.blogspot.com)!

So now I'm going to respond to comments (seperately to boost my comment count). Here goes: @ Mark - seriously? you only pay $5 to have my posts explained? that is at least a $10 job.

The kids are grown now and I even have a granddaughter, three months old today.

Also, the joke around the house is that I "don't even know how to do third grade math". It's actually true. When Johnny was in 3rd grade, I had no idea what they were asking. I would shoot emails to the teacher at least twice a week. But I knew what I was doing by 4th grade.<br />Your Friend, m.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01049586061176648341noreply@blogger.com
