You may be right Mark, maybe she shouldn't be in Iraq, for that matter maybe
no American should be in Iraq, maybe we should let hometown America fight
their own battles when our cornor cafe gets an IED or grenade thrown in.

I feel like there is more inefficiency than we have bandwidth to discuss in
our public school system. In my district we just lost all funding for
kindergarten so they could give the teachers and other district employees a
huge pay raise when they were already getting paid more than they deserve,
IMHO

I taught for many years in the military and we were told that if the student
fails to learn then the teacher has failed to teach. Did you have such
requirements when you taught?
