School 2008/2009

As far as things stand my children's mother will be home schooling through a Kindergarten level program for the 2007/2008 year.
I grew up in public schools in Powell, WY - AWESOME EDUCATION - I am utterly astonished at how lacking so many of my peers' own public school education experiences were. I think part of it is that you really only get out of any situation what you put into it and part of it is that there is not a great will within the public education arena to embrace such an ideal. If I can afford to put my ex through school 2008/2009 and pay for my children to be covered in private academically accredited schools, I will do so. There is a county school district in the area that actually appears to be doing even better then the private schools, but they are more expensive then the local private schools and I do not think relocating to that area is a feasible option for me. Another issue I notice is that it seems that a really “good” school in this area is not one in which you find a lot of kids doing their best and parents doing their best to help them. You find that the parents and children are actually doing the bare minimum they must to get what they can with the resources they have easily available to them. Sadly the only variation between the “good” and the “bad” school is the amount of resources available to the majority of the attendees. It seems that slothfulness, willful ignorance and an inane desire for convenience rules the hearts and minds of either community.

Bare all things

I know this thread has been idle a while. I just wanted to scream a bit. While nothing will ever keep me from moving forward, I must say being alone/single (in a no loved one wanting you and curled up next to you in bed) again after a decade hurts. I doesn't matter how good or bad or mundane everything else around is ... the loss of that warm body ... the illusion of connection with something real ... yeah, not pain like stepping on a nail or stubbing your toe, more like diving way too deep and staying down way too long ... (yeah, was a bit of a swimmer) ... Anyway, I can agree with a lot of what I've seen on both ends in posts around here ... I do not really want to "date" ... I'm a very social person, but I don't think I want to experience this again - not at this level - I'm a father of young children and active in my communities (seems like work, neighborhood, church, lodge, YMCA, etc. ... are all disconnected ), I need time for my home, my kids, my work, my education (computer programming - have to keep up always) ... that doesn't leave a lot of time for getting to that whoever I always seem to bump into at where-ever when-ever.
I wonder the chances of not attracting a con would be with an ad in the local paper LOL
Plus it is hard to get to sleep ... thankfully, I always have something that needs done ... of course, by choosing to stop and write this out, I'm not really getting anything done .. lol

Unified Theory of Application Development

Unified Theory of Application Development
1. Jokes become production.
2. Data wants to be free.
3. Logic means nothing.
4. Developers extrapolate from no given information.
5. Just because it makes sense, doesn't mean it's in the scope.
6. What we have here is "failure to communicate", which is the way the user wants it, well, they gets it.
7. You designed it, you live with it.
8. No "Big Picture", be narrow minded.
