Look forwards not backwards. Oh yes, the �good ole days� were so great with the apple pie, smiles, and rampant segregation of blacks. Need I also not remind you that you were the rebellious youth at one time or another with your sinful �Beach Boys� or worse yet Elvis! Or whoever else it may have been. Just to clarify things, I�m being sarcastic, which I am sure was lost on some of you. Today is just a different time with a different face; kids today just dance to a different toon. It may seem shocking now, but they will grow up and become serious family folks like yourselves, complaining and praying about the misguided youth.

Dan,

I wouldn’t worry too much about potential clients reading this blog…if it has the impact on them that it has on me then I’m sure they’ll be blessed!

I humbly submit that the post had too many weak verbs and an overemphasis on "was." Those tended to drag the piece down a little. But when you're mentally spent at some wee hour in the morning, hey, it's a post, right? ;-) I typically do better in my work for clients and in my fiction. I'm always wondering if potential clients check out this blog first. Gives me the shivers to think how much business I may have lost because of the strong opinions and slapdash posting that occur here. Still, thanks. Thanks, Bill.

I go home at night absolutely wiped out because of the demands of my students. I adore them and that age but it gets harder every year. They come from fractured families, homes where computers, phones and tv's are not monitored. I spend far too much time designing tests that are cheating proof. Vocabularies are getting smaller and imaginations are practically non-existent. Two of my boys couldn't even build a house out of Legos for an earthquake project. I keep at it. Some days I want to give up but these kids need love. Don't ignore them or let other people deal with them. Befriend them, talk to them, accept them and pray for them. They'll be in charge someday and we must do our best to reclaim them. I teach junior high at a Christian School in Los Angeles.
