Update,
Today they got to look at pics of Michelle Obama and "some old dude" that she didn't know and the teacher didn't identify. She knows what McCain and Bush look like and said it wasn't them. I asked if it was George Washington, Lincoln or anyone like that and she said no. So far no actual scientific value or slides have been shown to the class. First day, I can see using something like this to get the classes interest, but now they have wasted 2 days looking at Obama, Michelle Obama and the "old dude".

Is that like the "New Math" where you keep putting "minus" signs in front of your account balance and believe it will somehow make it a positive?

Perhaps the question you should be asking is if they now know how to use a microscope.

Would someone please cast Spence a lifeline, I think he is drowning in "Kool Aid".
I can see him struggling out there, and every time he pops up, it's to ask for more Kool Aid.
I am beginning to believe it will take one of those "de-programers" that were popular to hep kids drawn into those 70s cults.
maybe this guy can help him http://www.rickross.com/reference/de...ramming19.html |

it makes me wonder
always ...... (with all this talk of going green)
why school systems don't have "Science Gardens"
instead they put sports as the only outdoor activity 
i remember being a kid and having a bean sprout up
in a cut off quart milk carton.... as a teacher's lesson...
then of course they paid the janitor to throw them all away  |

I don't have a problem with it, there's no campaign going on and he is their President and Michelle is their first lady, his picture should be on the classroom walls in my opinion although I'm guessing most already have shrines at this point  , kids should know who their president and understand the roll that he has in their lives as Americans...I don't think little kids are all that interested in the political and policy debate part of it... |
