OT GOP scolding from a former true believer

by the results of my class' midterm grades, I kinda suck at it.)


Hopefully you're mostly kidding .... if not, back up and remember that
'scores' are only a small part of success ... another thing our culture
needs to understand better




It's truly amazing to see how a good teacher or
team can change the lives of kids.



AMEN And let me continue by adding that each of those positively
changed kids is FAR more likely to make positive changes in dozens and
dozens of other lives, over time, not just by teaching but simply by being
'better' What we do, good or bad, spreads out from us and ...yes ...
genuinely changes the world ... our part of it, for sure. As you teach,
remember ( for me:-) that YOU are changing the lives of your students, their
kids, and their grandkids ... and for the better I'm sure, Joe.


Larry L ( who thinks of you daily since the neighbor girl as baby lambs
...... 4H .... she just won a laptop, one of those animal carriers that fits
in the bed of a pickup, and a fancy animal weighing scale at a show ... and
is going to the Cow Palace soon, I think )

Very cool. I'm just hoping the bottle feeding stage ends soon.
They're cute, but it's getting old. :-)

Pardon my ignorance, but I've got to ask. Why bottle feeding ?
Doesn't the ewe take care of feeding the lambs ?

No ignorace; you're exactly right. The ewe is *supposed* to take care
of the lambs; but sometimes that instinct doesn't kick in for some
reason. Two things happen: You bottle feed the lambs or lose them,
and the ewe ends up in the chili so it doesn't happen again next year.
