As one reader in the Pantagraph discussion thread said, maybe the EHS administration should concentrate on teaching other methods of birth control other than abstinence, dealing with the drug/alchohol problem, bullying (which was rampant in my day), etc, instead of witch-hunting teachers that are paid garbage. I feel sorry by the way for the teacher; did the Pantagraph really have to print his salary? Isn't that just slightly above poverty level?KBActivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826011653099206038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3213986502266036431.post-24098181770878309642011-11-16T07:43:14.119-08:002011-11-16T07:43:14.119-08:00No educational value in the Daily Show?

Like some of the other similar programs (Real Time on HBO, The Colbert Report), the Daily Show often says what many of us are thinking, but are afraid to say about issues in the political environment. There is educational value through the use of humor, because truths are brought to light. In fact, I consider these programs to have considerably less spin than, oh say, all of Fox News. If I want to watch something with no educational value, I would watch primetime on one of the major networks (which I don't). Seems that Eureka education is still pretty backwards on some levels. Thank goodness our best thinkers shake the dust of that town off their feet once they graduate. Even the quote on the marquee in the photo speaks volumes - "Sit down, you're rocking the boat." If no one rocked the boat, great things would never happen. Then again, given the most likely strong Republican base in Eureka, this corporate mantra seems apropos.KBActivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826011653099206038noreply@blogger.com
