Teachers! Whenever you decide to give up on a child, remember that Albert Einstein who began his education in Munich, Germany, did so poorly in school that it was feared that he was retrded. He was once told by a teacher: “You will never amount to anything, Einstein.” Many think of him only as a scientist, but he could play a mean violin.

Firing Teachers, Empowering Parents

To see just how far this nation has fallen consider what happened Feb. 26 at Como Park High School in St. Paul, Minn.

A science experiment set off a fire alarm and the school was evacuated. Fourteen-year-old Kayona Hagan-Tietz was swimming in health class and, unlike her classmates, did not have time to change into dry clothes. She was made to leave the building with just her wet swimsuit and a towel.

It was 5 below zero with a wind chill of 25 below. She stayed wet and near naked in those conditions for 10 minutes, according to the CBS affiliate. Her classmates huddled around her trying to keep her warm. The faculty, like good Germans, feared to throw away the handbook and do the right thing. One eventually did give her a jacket. Finally, permission was obtained for her to sit in a teacher’s car.

Note, after 10 minutes.

How long would you let a near-naked, wet child outside in below zero weather?

To really make you sick go here and read the comments by teachers defending the school’s lack of response.

Parents need the power to fire schools.

Parents need the power to fire teachers.

This nation needs to find its backbone.

We must stop putting people like the Como Park faculty on pedestals and start holding them in contempt

Springfield Police, Wrong Ways, Right Directions

A particular traffic pattern at Springfield and Rolling roads in Springfield, Pa. is confusing and often leads to drivers taking the wrong turn.

One did, today, only to find himself facing a local policeman coming in the opposite direction. The car came to a stop, the officer pulled alongside and a short discussion took place through open windows.

The policeman then pulled away, the driver did a u-turn and matter ended. No ticket.

And that’s how law enforcement is supposed to be.

Bigger Pizza Better Deal

Bigger Pizza Better Deal
Sciarrino’s Pizzeria in Springfield, Pa. stayed open during Hurricane Sandy and, yes, the bigger pizzas were the better deals.

Consumer tip of the day: A 12-inch medium pie has more than twice the pizza of an 8-inch small but is usually just a few dollars more.

The size of the pie is a matter of pi. Halve the diameter then square it and multiply by 3.14 (pi rounded off).

You’ll get 113 square inches of pizza in a 12-inch pie (36 x 3.14) vs 50 square inches in the 8-inch pie (16 x 3.14).

Bigger Pizza Better Deal

Real H8, Real Love

This Off the Internet is  from jaydee007 and concerns the recently vetoed Arizona law that attempted to protect the freedom of conscience of merchants.

The Christian is exercising his First Amendment rights when he expresses why he is not baking the cake honoring a gay wedding because he is admonished by God to do so.

If he sees someone in their sins and says nothing, God tells him that the person’s blood is upon them for not providing fair warning. It is not his intent to become a victim for engaging in “The Free Exercise Thereof.”

Imagine three people  standing on the deck of the Titanic when it strikes the iceberg.

One is a Purser, the other a business man and the third is a student.

The Purser believes everything he’s been told about the Titanic being unsinkable! The Student does not believe that for a moment. The Business Man has heard both sides and is unsure.

The Purser does not like hearing anyone talk about the Titanic in any other terms than support for the notion that the ship is unsinkable. It disturbs and agitates him no end. He feels put upon any time anyone speaks that way, and he is especially disturbed when he sees someone convince anyone else that the ship may be less than perfect.

After the collision with the iceberg, the Student tells the Business Man that the ship is going to sink and it is necessary that he get into one of the life boats if he is to survive. The Purser angrily shouts that the Student knows nothing of which he speaks and he is wasting the Business Man’s time.

The Student then proceeds to attempt to convince the Purser that he is in error and that the ship is going to sink and anyone not in a life boat will be going down with the ship.

——-

Question 1. Is the Student Motivated by Hatred?

Question 2. Is the Purser Motivated by Compassion?

Question 3. When the Student Agitates the Purser is he being Mean?

Question 4. When the Purser shouts down the Student is he being Kind?

Question 5. Does the fact that the Purser doesn’t want to hear the message of the Student make the Student Insensitive or bigoted, toward the Purser, or the Business Man, in his effort to convince them of what he believes?

Question 6. Does the fact that the message the Purser brings the Business Man gives him comfort make him more caring and a better friend than the Student?
