One can always count on the lazy Except for LCDC I believe you have Oregon nailed . Which reminds me how is he name change for U of O coming along? We hear it's now the Emu's at Earth Muffin U.? Just to replay and old joke. Mmmmm how do you tell a graduate of EMU? They wear socks with their Birkenstocks.

Enjoy your day I did after reading your post!

To an Oregonian there is Oregon and then there are the Will Ah Metros. Portland to Roseburg and Ashland , Burns and any JC loocation are Will Ah meant to sayers.

ha ha that's easy ask any high schools senior with brains. NO ECONOMY. NO JOBS. It's Appalachia West a big Welfare State for the most part and a bedroom community for Californicating retirees for the rest of it and they don't pay no steeeenkin toxis mon.

Not while they are running a secular 700 club and raking in the big bucks

Think of the number of comments and then weed out those who are looking for excuses not to excel. Who having found an excuse to quit do so only to find themselves defending their excuses. Having conditioned themselves for a certain level of expectation they of course fail at that task and continue to do so

All it would have taken was nor accepting second best. The rest is just building on a bad habit. A wrong choice. A failure to improve.

We've had some demonstrations of second raters and some others that no matter what keep trying, learning, expanding, testing. Never accepting defeat.

It is after all one of the prime tenets of objectivism. Almost doesn't cut it. Close enough doesn't win a trophy, Good enough wins no applause.

And who is the judge. Why it's the same second rater who is also the accuser and is also the failure. All the same individual.

One can tell when they settle for being a second rater and when they have found themselves guilty. Then ask for others to forget, forgive, join in, absolve. Forgetting no one can do that except the same individual who openly confessed to being a second rater and then demonstrated how it's done.

I think is a common phrase I believe never heard. I know is never a thought.

As OUC suggests they have rejected their own minds

So Carl...since we know don't think of them as humans. Just second raters.

Reading between the lines. The teacher needed the time to fill out all the forms and hit on the idea of having the room empty for was it a whole day each week or just one hour for one of the days.

I recall an old saying on the honor system. Teacher had the honor the kids had the system. It' sounds like a system system in that school with no honor on either side.

Kids stay out of my way you get an "A"!

Perhaps the whole day came from other teachers following the plan.

Just think during that day they painted over tagging so they could go out at night and have a fresh surface to crap on
