  1. I just saw a TV commercial for a new CD from that outstanding vocalist: 

     

    Randy "Macho Man" Savage.

     

    Its entitled "Be a Man" and is available at FYE and on the web at www.machoman.com

     

    God help us all.

    I can do better than that! I heard the song on the John Boy & Billy show last week!!

     

    BTW, the apocalypse was delayed when the Lovable Losers lost again.

  2. 1.  Smaller student to teacher ratios (15 or 20:1)

    2.  More discipline and less restrictions on teachers and administrators with regard to discipline

    3.  Less paper work

    4. More parental involvement in the education of their children

    5. Less government (state and federal) in public education

    6. Higher expectations of students and less "social matriculation"

     

    All of these things are done in private schools!  No private school has to worry about these federal laws or regulations!  Private schools have more discipline and fewer restrictions on how they deal with discipline problems.  Private schools have less than half of the paper work because they seldom have to answer to anyone outside of the head master and the Board.  It is a proven fact that more private school parents are involved in their children's education.  No private school student is passed on to the next grade unless he/she earns the grade!

     

    Give me the same school environment as most private schools have and I can improve public education without all of this stupid legislation!  Teachers want to see their students do well in school!  It's just foolish to think that teachers get into this profession for any other reason!

    OMG!! ELA and I agree again!!! .... especially on that #5.

  3. While I don't understand all the ins and outs of this law, I do think teachers should be required by some authority to continue their educations. Almost all other professionals are required by law to do so.

     

    However, I think this is a bad law because I think the Federal Government needs to absolutely, wholly, and immediately BUTT OUT!! Education is but one of dozens of areas where the Feds have unconstitutionally taken over the management of said area.

     

    No vouchers. No red tape. Let the states decide or privatize them all.

  4. That's the problem...everyone still thinks that Sanders' game plan won the NC in 98.

     

    It was three plays.

     

    Peerless getting behind the Free Shoes U secondary twice and Dwayne "Vehicular Homicide" Goodrich stepping in front of Peter "It was a gift" Warrick to get a pick 6 saved us.

     

    Even with Outzen at QB for FSU instead of Weinke, we had good fortune...like we did all year...in winning the game.

    Don't leave out Leaverton's tackle of Warrick on the punt return.

  5. The past two weekends I have visited Sewanee and Campbellsville(KY) and both had beautiful campuses. What are some of your opinions on the best campuses in the area?

    I thought Tennessee Tech was above average - until it rained. But it's okay.

     

    I haven't visited a lot of campuses in Tennessee, but I don't think UTK or UTC are particularly attractive.

  6. Man, this region is going to be down to the wire. 7 teams are still alive, looks like. I think the 'big 3' will grab the top 3 slots, but four teams are still in the running for that 4 spot. The possibilities are still way too many to list this early!
