i think the evidence would suggest that the child's work was in fact rather pathetic.

and, i might expand on the point by suggesting that the idea of firing or disciplining the teacher for pointing it out is also deeply pathetic.

we would be left with the conclusion that the people of pennsylvania are, all around, fairly pathetic - they send their kids to school unprepared and ignorant, then try to fire the teachers when they get evaluated. it's pretty sad, indeed.

but, we can leave pennsylvania in a state of blissful ignorance if it insists.

those jobs will just go to china, instead - where they actually teach their kids math.

well, i got the review done, but then i crashed for another 13 hours.

let's see if i can resurrect myself...

i wanted to make some calls today, but i forgot it was a christian holiday, so i'll have to wait until monday. this is really the only way i interact with religion, nowadays - the annoyance of things being closed on weekdays.

and, the tradition of cross-posting heresy to all of my social media sites on good friday:

so, call me an arian. whatever.

i have no plans this weekend. but, i haven't eaten since tuesday morning, and need to at least catch up on the smoothies.

i expect to be back to the next archive by the end of the night.
