   I thought it was a post about George W Bush, maybe an NCLB issue.

   Deep thoughts for a misdirected consonant. 🙂

   Thought it was posted by W, Who wished to keep his identity secret.

   Of course my mind went right to Weingarten. All I can think of was “Oh please, not again!! I need a break since the Zimmerman post.”

   Hope the BATS figure it out and let us know.

   All the primary teachers here know how difficult it is to get children to understand that W does not make the /d/ sound!

    I thought Florida had invented a new letter grade and you were alerting us to the possibility of a new low.

    That is hilarious.
    I am having a good laugh right now after a heated debate with a friend about whether or not non profits should own airplanes.

    It fits every situation when you don’t know what to say: W

    What should I wear today: W

    What kind of wine should I order: W

    Mistake or no mistake, this pretty much sums it all up: Why are we surrounded with this craziness? Why can we see the detriment of privatization on our public, yet so many cannot? Why can’t I match my socks properly at 5:00 in the morning?

        I actually went to work one day with two different shoes on–I was so busy, I hadn’t noticed until the end of the day. The colors were identical and the styles were similar. Conclusion: Dressing in the dark is fashionably dangerous.

        I know a teacher who purposefully wears different shoes- on April Fool’s Day. The kids spend so much time trying to convince her she has two different shoes on, they never pull any other pranks on her.

        Done the same with the shoes, two very similar black ones-ha ha! But then again I like to get to school early-a little too early sometimes, I guess!
