The Foreman Awards For Excellence In Humanity - December 14th

Jim Rutz says that soy makes you gay. I don't know about the science here (especially since this is from wnd.com), but I think that when he says "Homosexuals often argue that their homosexuality is inborn because "I can't remember a time when I wasn't homosexual." No, homosexuality is always deviant.", well, that says it all.

A young man found a pellet gun. He gave it to the assistant principal, who expelled him. Sure he probably should have left the gun where it was and went to get the principal, but ... expelled?

I would say we shouldn't have people trained as professional school administrators at all. Principals should be experienced teachers -- and they shouldn't get a raise for switching, it should strictly be a lateral career move. I see a big part of the reason we spend so much on public schools and get so little out is that we have so many administrators -- always higher paid than the people who actually matter, the teachers. If we got rid of 50% of the administrators who work in the school buildings and 90% of the ones who work in other offices, and used the money to raise teacher salaries, I bet we'd see a dramatic improvement in our schools.

Actually, if things were the way they were supposed to be - theacher would be paid like professional sports "heroes" and sports "heroes" would be paid like teachers are now!

The average teacher makes in one year what the average NFL/NBA player makes in a WEEK!

And only about TEN of them can string a coherent sentence together in ANY language - INCLUDING gibberish!

If people would get lives of their own instead of investing their passion in people they see on TV, the sports heroes would go away. And if teachers were paid in proportion to their importance, kids might develop into people that had lives.

That is probably one of the most profoundly truthful statements that I have read in ten years.

Brava!
