but it sure is fun when people overreact to my tweet blaming Corey Haim’s death on Jack Bauer.

I don’t have anything to say.

Yeah, but…

“iPad.”

That sent the geek-chic movement back decades.

On second thought, some people can *never* run out of stupid things to say… But still, there’s a *chance*, right?

At least now, most people’s pointless conversations have moved to those sites, where I don’t have to read/hear/see them. So if someone talks to me in person, there’s a chance they’ve run out of stupid things to say and we’ll actually talk.

Comment on Zero Tolerance for Neo-Fascist Robots by Wil C. Fry

Addendum: I was uncomfortable with my former comment and wanted to explain further that I’ve been to dozens of school board meetings where a teacher or administrator has suggested a forward-thinking policy. In many cases, the ideas were shot down by a *single* complaining parent or school board member, with little to no discussion… So, not only is it now illegal for schools to discipline the way they used to, but we don’t let them come up with any new ideas?

Sadly, there’s a good reason for zero-tolerance policies. One by one, we took away the tools that a teacher has to correct children. Parents and school boards rode the teachers and administrators from both sides until they had little choice but to develop these policies.

While I do *not* agree with a single “zero-tolerance” policy I’ve ever heard of, I think I would have come up with the same policies if I were in these situations.

I hate that one the most too and it’s because the people who make it think they sound so smart. You also see it a lot on myspace and facebook pictures like my husband and I, my dog and I, and so on.

For many reasons, this is just not a good time for kids to be enrolled in public school. That’s just my humble opinion which may not be worth much but stories like this one are coming more frequently. I’m glad those days are behind me now. That’s just muh 2 sense.
