IMO, you are correct that we are the problem, not the media. If we expect others to decide for us what is truth and what is not, then we set...
Cheers-- "The needle tears a hole The old familiar sting Try to kill it all away..." :) I got both of mine not long after they first came out....
Two things... The vaccines are being discussed as a singularity in this. Which ones should we be most concerned with, and which are the safest?...
I had two Pfizer shots, and all is good. Initially, I qualified because of pre-existing conditions, then, because of dieting and losing weight, I...
And your children are lucky to have had those experiences. Having also been raised in two other countries besides this one, I can say that the...
No amount of lecturing is going to trigger their interests in that way. They've heard it all a million times. If you work with those kids for a...
Spend a year in the classroom, then get back to me on that. It all seems so simple until you actually have to deal with it.
I'm sorry, but there is so much more to education than a simplistic focus on rote functions. It is not excuse making or special pleading, but a...
This handout has been discussed in other threads on the same topic. First of all, it's a handout for a workshop. Those workshops are for...
The Militia thing is troublesome, and yet understandable from all the different perspectives. Add to that, Henry's comments about slave rebellion...
