Election Day Frenzy
Nov. 6th, 2007 10:11 pmWell, Real Life in general has been a frenzy lately, but I referred to Election Day simply because I'm quite opinionated about this Referendum 1 that's a big issue this election cycle (and since that was the only thing on my ballot). I'm for Referendum 1 simply because I'm for parents having a say in their kids' education and because public schools have been doing jack crap with the property tax money we're forced to give them anyway, so why not kick them to the curb and tell the teacher's unions to stick it where the sun don't shine? I think it's ironic that the public school folks used the motto "Referendum 1: Full of flaws. Fails Utah's families" because public schools have been failing for at least the past 20 years (well, as far as I can remember). I guess that would make public schools experts at failing Utah's school kids, so maybe they really do know what they're talking about.
I graduated from high school nearly five years ago and it's really sad when I can count on one hand the truly exceptional teachers I had in the public school system . I can think of more teachers who I swear they picked up off the side of the road than I can think of teachers who made it their business to teach us how to read and write. Despite what those sissies at KSL say, those heartwarming "Teachers of the Week" deals are the exception rather than the rule around here.
Anyway, enough politics (besides, that post is out of date by now, even though I had planned to do it. Oh well...) I was coming back from home last night when I suddenly got a migraine, you know, the kind that make you dizzy and you can't see straight. The problem was that I was in the middle of nowhere on the freeway going about 70 miles an hour when it hit. Thankfully, I made it to Grantsville where my family has a house where I could crash for a few hours while my head tried to kill me. I mention this because my usual "Heroes" rehash is a full day late, but I did catch it. And it was a doozy.
