School where students are in charge

by Joan Mann

Jun 13, 2011

Just heard a news story on NBC concerning a private school where there are no teachers and no lesson plans. Elementary students choose what they want to do. One child chose to catch as many butterflies as he wanted; another chose to jump on his pogo stick. Parents pay high tuition for their children to attend. One stated he wanted his child to beco...See More

jme My public elementary school (in the sixties) didn't go that far, but it was definitely on that track. We had "learning coordinators" instead of teachers. Only some of the more responsible eighth graders had totally "free schedules," but a group of us spent much of our sixth grade year (my last year there)working on a play based on the movie Cindere...See More

Kathy Morlan Julie, I wish that high school students came in a bit at a time! It would be great if they could split up into smaller groups. One of the hardest things for me is getting to know 125- 150 kids at a time. Since I teach English 11 & 12, I see maybe 40 kids that I had the year before. It feels like I get a head start :)

I teach Pre-K and have a large cardboard box that my class can use to create something. Aside from the kidlets ideas, what are some ideas for this project you might want to share.

Thanks, Sheila

Looks like 2½ Men will be killing off Charlie Harper

by Possibly in a car wreck

Jun 28, 2011

Buzz is that the producers don't want to leave any doors open for Charlie Sheen to return. In the season opener, Jake and Alan get the bad news.

Ashton supposedly winds up buying Charlie's house and keeping the other two on as tenants. (Yeah, that happens every day, especially in Malibu! But the writers have to work with what they have to ...See More

And with Luke all coming and going, and with two fake Luckies, two fake Carlies, and I mean ALL the old-timers from the 50's and 60's dying, and freaking ALAN QUARTERMAINE gone, and Emily AND fake Emily killed off, and the Goth Summer of Dead Teenagers (would you EVER have a baby in Port Chuckles?) and we're on, what, our second Monica, Maxie, and our third Edward?

The FINAL year in production, too, and they've brought back a second Kate, who nobody cared about the first poop around! And the other morning when I had a cold, there was some announcement about "Nobody Special will be playing Maxie," so that's Maxie III! (WTF? JUST as Spinelli is coming out of his psychotic Bogartelusion, too. Way cruel!)

Then there were the two AJ's, and what's up with Steve the (HUH?) head of surgery after being Steven Lars and PJ (remember Heathers I and II?) And we've got to give Bobbie several lives for her assorted facelifts AND Roy DeLuccas, and probably Jax for his variety of haircuts. (BTW, I loved Brunette "OH NO!" Jerry [worst scene in soap history since poor Alexis'...teehee...oops, I mean Nancy Grahn's boyfriend in that other soap got hit in the mouth as one actor and popped up the SAME DAY as ANOTHER ACTOR...ok, that was cool...but not as cool as the live soap where the guy's toupee fell off during the fistfight and they had to cut to Lux Liquid] FAR more than weird fake BLONDE Jerry Jax who, I'm sorry, too resembled that crappy Hell's Kitchen chef who somebody needs to slam upside the head with a slab of radioactive Kobe beef!)

They can't kill that stupid Brenda, though, nor her assortment of...babies who...did they ever even appear on the screen? OH NO! No matter how hard they tried, muahahaaaa...bad writer purgatory, being stuck with Brenda's conceited ass...oops, I mean walking shampoo commercial...no mercy! Inflict her MUSTACHE on us, and YOU have lunch with her, Jerk from ABC who approved "The Chew"!

But I give GH credit for getting rid of both red-headed Michaels, because puh-LEEZE with them annoying little boys, and I guess the first Blonde Nu- Michael sucked, but the latest one just reminds me of Chandler on Friends, and how is he blonde anyway, being Sonny's boy? Plus, his Hooker of Gold Girlfriend (STOP IT! Ok, notice how all the hookers in Port Charles have escaped from the local Convent, complete with JELLY beans?) is the worst actress since that cartoon where Max Fleischer made Betty Boop wear the blonde wig! OR...ok, just struck me...since his GrandDaddy Alan was all Jonesing (not Tony or Frisco or...hey, Felicia REALLY sucks! All her abandoned, facet-personality students wind up at OUR school) authentically JONESing down by THE DOCKS, where the Golden Hooker Girl Scout Nunnery seems to be located. With skinny little rooms, unless your Beloved needs to find you rolling around at leisure with...whomever, and then it's Hotel Sheets and cut to...LUX LIQUID! (Or diapers, if you've offended the Poop God.)

Speaking of whom, praise soap-opera JAYYYYZZZusss for having killed off that creepy fake-Irish green-card hootchie! Every time she was with Lucky I expected her to tell him he was magically delicious (EWWWW! They brought REAL Lucky back for THAT River Dance Reject?)

But here's the real problem: As things stand now, LUKE SPENCER KILLED HIS OWN GRANDSON.

nO. NO. nOT OUR Lucas Lorenzo...not Bobbie's brother, not LUKE, not Laura's Luke...not LULU'S Daddy...not LUCKY'S Daddy, who was there for Elizabeth after, when she needed RealLucky, and Lucky needed his Daddy, and bless Luke, because SUCKY FLASHBACKS, Richard Simmons
