Yes, came my friend's reply.
Well you told us that he was born in Bethlehem!
Tut tut, when I was a young student...

Was he serious?

I spent 10 misguided years teaching grades 6 - 8 Fine Art and Computer Science.

Class sizes over 40+ and no money for supplies... backstabbing and infighting... parents that considered a Madonna and Child painting "CHILD PORN" because the baby on Mary's lap was naked... and Mary's breast was showing...

So glad I quit!!!

A teacher in Dallas got fired for taking students to the Dallas Museum of Fine Art. There were naked statues there from ancient Greece etc.

Don't get me started I get chest pains and see spots... cannot type and cuss at the same time... :evil:

Class sizes over 40+ ...
:shock:

I too quit. I just wanted to do other things after 12 years. Best decision I ever made.

Now, which bank am I robbing tonight... ?

My father retired after 45 years and he was still taking private students for 15 years after that.

What does he have to show for that? No money, 18 operations, dementia, ulcers, hernia and constant heart pain.

I think you are right, the bank sounds good

Ps. Can somewhere repair this stupid MS Outlook (@%^$#@^$) so I can synch my pda with it?? ARRGHGHGH.

Pity the others equate religion with faith, that's non-thinking. (Now watch the fur fly!! Meaow!)
