I have five and currently 3 are teenagers. There are some days I am exhausted from trying to make sure they turn out fine. There are days I think--wow--what was I thinking?!? But there is never a day that I regret having 5 kids! Now that they are mostly grown, they rarely argue, and they have a lot of love and respect for each other. It's been tough, but I can't think of anything else I would rather have been doing all these years!

Too funny! Thanks for the chuckle!

What is your point? IF there were no successful blacks, I might see your point, however, there are MANY incredibly successful blacks. If you want to look for a reason for some blacks (as well as whites) being in poverty, look no further than a government who believes in keeping people down for the sake of a vote.

Excellent video!!!

Tiger Moms do make a difference. My daughter had a hard time in kindergarten, so I demanded she be tested for learning differences (I refused to call them disabilities because it sounds to much like inability). I had to fight to get her tested because they wanted to wait. I said NO. They did find she was LD. I then demanded that her resource teacher work on skills acquisition (which I also did at home), and her teachers NOT do anything for her that she could do for herself. I monitored to make sure she was not being babied, and teachers maintained high expectations. Services were eventually dropped, and as a junior, she is doing well in tough honors courses. If I had not made demands, she would never have reached her potential!

Now, Now...don't you realize children only matter if they are wanted and their parents allowed them to live. Children who are not wanted do not matter to the left; those who are wanted only matter when they can be used as battering rams to get their agenda passed.

Oh, and I am never to mention the word sociopath, put anything in his file that would indicate we know there is a problem, or do any such thing that may come back to bite the school district square in the backside. It is sickening!!!!!

Excellent column!! Unfortunately, our society is contributing to the problems that lead to mass-murdering shooters. As a teacher, I see it, and I rail against it! For example, I have a student in my class, and he is odd! He does not believe he should do the work required to actually EARN a diploma; rather, one should be given to him even if he did not do the work required. My administrator told me that even if he does not earn the diploma, we need to pass him along because he is (according to our school psychologist who did a threat assessment on him at my behest) one who would bring a gun and shoot people...so instead of getting him the mental help he needs, we are just to pass the problem along. This is not uncommon!

Unfortunately, our low information voters really believe we elect people, and if they take away our rights, that is what democracy is all about. Are we doing such a poor job of teaching the Constitution in our schools? I am seriously worried!
