Try getting little sleep and going to school on an empty stomach and see just how studious you feel.

Let me get this straight, your daughter has the same views as you?

and you submit this as evidence of your correctness?

Am I to thereby assume that you believe that culture and parenting have no bearing on educational success?

not sure how you got this from that but it's likely my failure to communicate well

family and parenting is key to educational success

Buzz Williams is a good coach. He was at Marquette while my daughter was there. He'll have the Hokies competitive in the ACC within 2-3 years.

Before the blonde went back to grad school and became a mental health professional, she taught elementary school for 15 years on the West Side of Chicago, until it finally overwhelmed her. It was in a neighborhood that was, at the time, in no man's land between Vice Lords and Gangster Disciples turf. And she was a spectacularly good teacher, as she is a psychotherapist today. She could write a book on her experiences in a west side school and everybody would think it was satire. Like the time she broke up a fight between two kids and an hour later one of the mothers staggered into the school with a half-pint of Smirnoff's in one hand and a revolver in the other looking for "...the white honky bitch with the skinny legs who put her fucking hands on my baby." They hid her in the school walk-in safe until the cops finally showed up.
