Agreed. I am more and more in favor of private schools. Or maybe an international school?<BR/><BR/>I wonder if TJ is still out there to blame. I supposed even if he's no longer with the living, that's his fault too!<BR/><BR/>Until we know for sure, I'll blame Dubya along with you. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14658926.post-1148644981033426572006-05-26T08:03:00.000-04:002006-05-26T08:03:00.000-04:00I can't give you proof, but I can tell you that th...I can't give you proof, but I can tell you that the president enacted "No Child Left Behind" which is leaving more children behind than ever. NCLB is responsible for less flexibility in the classroom, and "teching to the test" if you will. This had become harder and harder to do for teachers with mulit age (multi graded) children. The teachers were needing to seperate out by grade level more and more frequently making the multiage classroom obsolete.<BR/><BR/>Why can't you just accept that it is Dubya's fault anyway? You never had a problem with my placing blame on TJ. In fact, now that I think about it, "IT IS ALL TJ'S FAULT!" Thanks for the reminder. :)Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235941490505824539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14658926.post-1148613385634116352006-05-25T23:16:00.000-04:002006-05-25T23:16:00.000-04:00Please explain how the ending of multi-age classro...Please explain how the ending of multi-age classrooms is our president's fault.

Scrap booking is simply conbining the two. Some (not me of course!) get carried away and can be very creative with it.<BR/><BR/>My goal is to simply preserve our family photos to enhance the memories for my children.<BR/><BR/>The people who have whole rooms devoted to the craft, well, I don't get it either.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235941490505824539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14658926.post-1148435259778020672006-05-23T21:47:00.000-04:002006-05-23T21:47:00.000-04:00I just don't get scrapbooking.
