   Me too. I didn’t know about the Schoolhouse Rock version, so I set it to the tune of Joy to the World and sung it in front of the class.

   My school district used to have the unattainable goal to, “Prepare every student for a world yet to be imagined.”

   We’ll have a low of -10 and a high of 35 on Tuesday. I expect they’ll call a late start for schools.

   Don’t let your kids ruin your joy in something by passing judgement on it! They are kids. Their judgement sucks.

   She was probably closer to 13 or 14 at the end of 8th grade. I understand she got work in a canning factory. She was an amazing lady. I only knew her as an old woman, but she still roofed her own house and grew an acre of garden. I remember one time she shot a rabbit that was eating her garden and made us rabbit stew that night.

   The best response to Alan would be to tell him he is a good kid. It would make him feel good while knowing he is not a romantic interest.

   A generation ago, most 12 and 13 year old girls babysat for pocket money. When my grandma grew up, she was expected to stop school at the end of 8th grade to take care of her 8 younger siblings (she moved out instead). It may not be ideal, but an experienced middle schooler can keep a houseful of kids safe and cared for.

   Let’s include anarchy and starvation as systems of oppression that might end up replacing current systems of oppression.

   Corporate greed is bad, starvation is worse. A corrupt or dictatorial government is bad. Anarchy is almost always worse (unless we are talking actual genocide). For that matter, many find the school system oppressive. Yet ignorance and loss of opportunity is worse.

    Maybe she has that problem even while sitting down…
