put his son into a similar program at a public school and his grades skyrocketed.

He supposedly has the dreaded ADD ..but because all the material is presented in entirely different ways other than the humdrum...the pace is much faster in "fun, fast, informative with humor" the dryest of information is retained...Great connectivity, and the kids love it. In fact, some mainstreaming kids in the public school are signing up for the class with good grades.

Good on ya.

You know, curioser...

I wonder why many think yer a dirtbag. A dirtbag doesn't usually take on remmies and is simultaneously, an internet jerk.

Elouise, that's a very interesting point and worth considering.

I like the way you stand up for what you believe in.

It's so much more interesting to read than the drivel some people dish out because their paid sycophants tell them they're funny, when they're not.

If we all re-holster our handguns and start talking fish recipes we might return to the quiet contemplative board we all so enjoy, and you can bask with us in the light of occasional sermons and dry analyses of the situation in Gaza.

I do sermons sometimes, people fall asleep after my "fifthly" paragraph.

Elouise and Snooze talking fish recipes! :wah:

Excellent point.

If inquiring minds want to know . . .

Yep -- born and bred.

I don't think I have a heavy Boston accent -- at least that's what people tell me!

I always try to pronounce my 'R' 's nice and clearly! :-6
