greg we will only get things done when the kids find out there is no free lunch. the most impressive part that will help us all is when teachers can get the assistance of better pay to bring back so many good educators who were forced to go to the business jobs in order to support their families. a few years back the winner of award for best teacher was a man from ca. who within 2 years of award had to change carreers in order to support his growing family. schools really slid backwards when reagan went to a poor d c school and was asked to fund a library and his response was---oh well i never used a library and still got to be president. our future is dependant on them and their schooling. why do the same people pay $ 100 to watch a sports event with drug addicts yet refuse to vote money for education. perplexed connie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg Sterling" <[log in to unmask]> To: "Constance Tate" <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, August 18, 2000 5:57 AM Subject: Re: Re: Research funding > Connie, > Well said. The youth of today has no issue to bind them. You had WWII, the Depression, and electricity (lol); and I had Vietnam, drugs, and 60's idealism. The kids today don't understand sacrifice and don't realize that they have it made due to the work and suffering of the past generations. Oh well, you have to make your own mistakes to learn from them. > > Greg > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Constance Tate" <[log in to unmask]> > To: "greg sterling" <[log in to unmask]> > Sent: Friday, August 18, 2000 3:12 AM > Subject: Re: Re: Research funding > > > > dear greg > > i agree with you whole-heartedly but i am sending this off list as > > i know many > > will object to politics on list. i only hope that there are enough people > > who have been > > too lazy to vote will get out and do so this time. the bush group will pull > > out all stops and be sure > > to get their voters to the polls.
