keeper sling on leg = genius

that's a good'un - you get that from biden?

i don't know, but i would Terminate it w/ eXtreme Prejudice!

BIAS ALERT!!!

from today: http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/10/25/14698079-500000-payment-to-failed-charter-school-principal-sparks-outrage?lite

what can i say, i spend most days around a lot of negative role-models nice jorb there plaid-man

stayed up waaaaay past my bedtime n' regretting it today

bump!

a true multi-purpose tool - oughta be right handy when the zombie apocalypse comes

but shelbyville has a charter school!!!

i'll be there, clad in trash bags n' packing technu

my econ 201 grade might be damned valuable information for anyone wishing to gauge my ability to comprehend the supply n' demand curve

perhaps in the back of the shop class? nah, i don't actually work in vantucky!

well, if there is an omniscent, all-powerful dog, everything does happen according to his say-so, no? poor boy's just addressing his cognitive dissonance!

i'm voting tonight, for no other reason than to keep bastards like you from calling and knocking on my door

like a school w/n a school - they have a focus (engineering at my current, i went to a chemistry/biology one as a kid) and an application process (they're run basically like college classes so you need the skills and grades to make it worthwhile), and they usually only are for a portion of the school day, after which you take regular classes like art n' history n' whatnot. kids in this district also can do "running start," where they spned much of their day taking classes at a local community college

my public school district has some of those things like: - a skill center (for learning firefighting, nursing, automotive tech, catering and a # of other trades) - an engineering magnet school - an alternative high school (for kids who really just don't fit into the mainstream and need a light touch) - a branch of a local credit union manned by students

shit, that's just the tip of it! i named my son Æþelwulf, firfuksakes!

it is a goddamn tragedy that no one's ever managed to make a decent movie out of the story - don't know why exactly, something about it defies film - much of the beauty of it is the literal poetry - the ringing alliteration resounding always in rare auras

there is, of course, already a bit of segregation w/n many public high schools themselves - AP programs pretty neatly concentrate the folks w/ problems like you describe into the "regular" classes (and that's my rice-bowl! ) - folks like me than have to figure out how to make it work best for that crowd (hint: as much as it hurts me, we don't get to read much hobbes, locke n' smith in all their glorious length ) still, just like "breakfast club," even the smart bitches gotta rub elbows w/ the proles occasionally in shop n' pottery class, and that's probably a good thing (shit, the biggest trouble i got into in school was always in those classes, and that's what made them great! they also helped reaffirm my raging adolescent sense of superiority ) the bottom line is, society must deal w/ it's problem elements, the cripples, bastards and broken things that are, for better and worse, part of us (and hopefully not by just building the walls of our prisons higher and higher and higher)

how am i not held accountable? parents can (and do) routinely request to meet/communicate w/ me and to explain my course, procedures, and evaluations of their kids, my school must honor the legal requirements of iep's or face lawsuits, the district must routinely get the community to approve bond measures, etc. also, how is it a monopoly when there are, in fact, alternative private schools?

word. i still can't for the fucking life of me understand why new yorkers, so tough n' aggressive in every other way, all had their panties in a bunch about putting them bad boys on public trial in their own state, to get justice within sight of where those dipshits' did their crime...

what makes you think they haven't already? ivan loves big brother.

alright, i couldnt' help but start listening and found it about 1:30 - my memory wasn't quite spot-on, but then little about me isn't mediocre [video:youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gh3G6fwyFyY&feature=relmfu
