Conversation had with small boy over dinner about taxes:

SB: Roads?? (incredulously)
Me: Well who do you think pays for the roads?
SB: The Romans?
Me: collapses in laughter |

| Nuclear Wedding Present |
Apparently Kim Jong-il, Korean dictator leader has married his secretary.
Its a little disturbing that she is only 'cute' rather than beautiful like his former wife (deceased), however when you are this powerful I guess the choices are limited - and at least she can type.
Very little more here. |

| Update on the School Reports |
Well I was right (to my deep chagrin) - the new reports are Crap! They tell me a lot of shit that I already know - for example:
- Small girl can kick with either foot & can throw overarm
- Small boy has difficulty getting started (procrastination) but when he does he is great
- Both children are articulate and are quick mental processors
Excellent.
I already know that. As I suspected, the reports provide no information regarding progress made or information regarding the children's perceptions of how they are doing.
Not happy (can you tell lol). So I have passed along my feedback, and will wait for the next incarnation, hoping (probably in vain) that the school will return to the previous method of reporting, which to my mind is significantly superior. |
