No books were banned at the state level in Florida. But that did not stop the liberals ( Randy wiengarten and mark hammel) from putting out a fake list of books banned by gov. DeSantis. You can google it and get the Facts…. Liberals all over our country are pushing educators toward CRT and social training while away from the basic curriculum of reading, writing , and arithmetic . Those policies and the closing of schools during the pandemic have set our standard of education to a unacceptable low and now some of the democrat run cities want to ban advanced classes in high schools to create equity among all students. That policy could only lead to the dumbing down of americas future. But it seems that’s what the democrats want to happen. And president Biden is reassuring that thought every day ….


I don't think that problem is NEARLY as wide-spread as you're claiming it to be. Talk to actual teachers and ask if this is happening in their school. Ask them if they have some sort of agenda to "indoctrinate" kids. I've never heard first hand of any teacher doing this stuff. We're just trying to get by, man. Just trying to teach our kids. The vast majority of teachers try to keep things neutral as much as possible, and we stick to school guidelines on what our administrators say we should teach. Why would we go out of our way to upset parents or get in trouble with our school administration? Teachers are under enormous pressure to get their students to the point where they perform well on standardized tests. Do you really think they're going to move "away from the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic" just so they can push their own agenda? That's crazy talk. It's just not this huge problem that DeSantis is trying to make it out to be. There are far bigger problems in the education system. I think Florida is going to have a very difficult time attracting new teachers because of this kind of thing being spread around. I'm moving back to the US next year, and I'll be teaching in public schools. I would never work in Florida.

I discovered more goodbye rhymes besides "See you later, Alligator!" and "After while, Crocodile!"

Bye, bye, Butterfly!
Gotta go, Buffalo!
See you soon, Raccoon!
Out the door, Dinosaur!
Toodle-Loo, Kangaroo!
Be sweet, Parakeet!
Give a hug, Ladybug!
Blow a kiss, Goldfish!
Peace out, Trout!
Take care, Polar Bear!

I feel like these are essential for all first grade teachers to know. smile2

Good for Florida! As ridiculous as your statement is, it’s not a bad idea to remove the people spreading lies and nonsense to our school children. Indoctrination of our children should never be accepted. The future of the liberal model of education in this country is clearly visible now with half the kids in this country can not even read on their own grade level. They have no idea what Lincoln is famous for , and they can’t tell you who America fought during the revolutionary war. The Florida state government is the model that all state governments should follow if you truly care more about the people of your state instead of your own political power and aspirations .


Wait...who are the people spreading lies and nonsense to school children?

And last I heard, books like the autobiography of Rosa Parks were banned from schools. A book about Rosa Parks is "lies and nonsense"?

Wonder what is DM's favorite takeaway restaurant?


In the USA, probably Chili's. For fast food, I'll go Taco Bell.

I wonder what Stormy's is?

Thinking it's Random Acts of Kindness week, and my committee at work gave our colleagues a challenge to do a R.A.K. every day this week. It's been really nice to see such good deeds happening around the school. :heart:

It's definitely possible. But you need to consider some important factors:

1) Do you both have the means to be able to travel to one another's countries for regular visits? Airfare gets expensive.

2) Do you have cultural differences that might end up becoming an issue?

3) Both partners need to be "all in". Long distance is hard...particularly when from different countries. You'll spend the majority of your time on video calls. How are you going to keep things interesting?

4) Think about your end goal. Are you willing to relocate at some point (or have your partner relocate to your country)?



P.S. I was in Kathmandu in October. I enjoyed visiting your country.

Exceptionally means to a greater degree than normal. Extremely means to a great degree. I would also say exceptionally means higher than extremely.


My thoughts as well. waving
