One of my favorite things about blogging is the occasional new voice showing up, and joining in the conversation.<BR/><BR/>You made an excellent point about school violence, in the other thread. I suspect this becomes ever more true as student-to-teacher ration becomes worse and worse.<BR/><BR/>I've a friend teaching in Florida, in what he calls a "not poor" school district; his smallest class is over 30 students, and he can't get textbooks.<BR/><BR/>He teaches English.<BR/><BR/>But we don't want to get me all wound up about public education--which I think is a noble and <I>very</I> worthwhile endeavor--because I'm deeply concerned that we're not doing nearly as well as we need to be doing.<BR/><BR/>Frank?

We had a solid week of rain--not one peek of sun a little while ago. But it did stop. Now it's warm. But the next two months are killer..def. spans of time with literally no sun. It actually makes the first sunny day feel bizarre, like I don't really want it. Sorry to ramble on your site.

Wildfires are everywhere but thankfully have not yet directly been in the area I live. Communities very nearby, yes, but not here yet.
