A quote from a book that I repeatedly read because I could not believe how true it was...
"Rather than insisting on the teaching potential in adolescent misbehavior for both the miscreant and the other students, rather than seizing the 'teachable moment,' rather than keeping an educational perspective on sanctioning and social accountability, principals and teachers--admittedly under pressure from frightened parents--have ceded their authority to law enforcement personnel, particularly to police and presecutors, and willingly participated in excluding troublemakers, difficult kids, disabled youth, and children in trouble from the very education that is their primary hope."
....and no, its not because its one long sentence.
The Postal Service created a 39 cent first class stamp with a
picture of President Bush. The stamp was not sticking to envelopes which enraged the President, who demanded a full investigation. After a month of testing, a special presidential commission presented the following findings:
1) The stamp is in perfect order.
2) There is nothing wrong with the applied adhesive.
3) People are spitting on the wrong side.
