I'm more frustrated than embarrassed.
...Pasto,<br />I'm more frustrated than embarrassed.<br /><br />He came to the homeschool group during the 2nd semester of 10th grade. His initiative, and he's never told anyone why he wanted out of the public schools system. He was attending "one of the best schools in the county."<br /><br />His parents are hardcore Left, but he's not on any one side of the spectrum. What he <b>does</b> care about is being a jock -- and now Instagram. The other day, he told me that he'd recently found Instagram. He said, "I can't even remember my life before Instagram." Sheesh.<br /><br />BTW, his parents didn't enroll him this year. He's got private tutors for some courses and enrolled in community college courses for other courses.<br /><br />Oh, he also shared something odd with me the other day. "I can't imagine having anything that would make me willing to fight someone to keep that something from being taken away from me." Context of that announcement: a discussion about the American Revolution and how determined the colonists were to King George. And my student actually said, "Why didn't America rejoin England after King George was no longer king?"

Donald Trump took on the NFL and lost -- and that's what needed to happen. The President should never have called NFL players a bad name."<br /><br />There you have the opinion of a student who was an honors student in the public schools system.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-6395704717679934282017-09-26T13:02:48.909+01:002017-09-26T13:02:48.909+01:00We have a skilled black American surgeon at my fac...We have a skilled black American surgeon at my facility who works long hours and for his skill and work ethic - earns a good living, but not an obscene amount of money for his skill.<br /><br />NFL players have obscene wages compared to their skill set. And what is it really - that they do that contributes to society? I am still trying to wrap my head around that fact. Art is a civilizational benchmark, but entertainment is a distant cousin with no real merit.<br /><br />Time to #Empty Stadiums as part of a social media movement. Who the hell wants to attend a game on Veteran's Day weekend and see a hypocritical display of patriotism for our country and military?<br /><br />Squatting on the field, is disrespect for my uniform and my country.<br /><br />Tammy Swofford<br />former Lieutenant Commander, USNR, NC<br />Fleet Hospital Dallasthelastenglishprincehttp://thelastenglishprince.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-88107804297887428222017-09-26T02:57:59.332+01:002017-09-26T02:57:59.332+01:00Like I care what celebrities have to say let alone...Like I care what celebrities have to say let alone jocks.
