Walt davies said: (quoted from post at 15:00:36 03/08/08) Fire all the teachers and administrators then hire new ones and get rid of Tenor. Next put the old desks back in and nail them to the floor in straight line. Tell the new teachers that if they want to keep their jobs the kids will have to improve by 100% each year until they reach the level that we were back in the 40/50s. Next take all calculators in schools and destroy them and then make it against the law to have one within 1 mile of any grade school. If you can get rid of guns that kill kids then why not get rid of Calculators that ruin their math skills for the rest of their lives.

Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
