This sounded like one of "those" uplifting internet stories, but according to Snopes it's true so I thought I'd post it. A Lesson *A lesson that should be taught in all schools!* Back in September of 2005, on the first day of school, Martha Cothren, a social studies school teacher at Robinson High School in Little Rock , did something not to be forgotten. On the first day of school, with the permission of the school superintendent, the principal and the building supervisor, she removed all of the desks out of her classroom. When the first period kids entered the room they discovered that there were no desks. Looking around, confused, they asked, "Ms. Cothren, where're our desks?" She replied, "You can't have a desk until you tell me what you have done to earn the right to sit at a desk." They thought, "Well, maybe it's our grades." "No," she said. Maybe it's our behavior." She told them, "No, it's not even your behavior. And so, they came and went, the first p eriod, second period, third period. Still no desks in the classroom. By early afternoon television news crews had started gathering in Ms.Cothren's classroom to report about this crazy teacher who had taken all the desks out of her room. The final period of the day came and as the puzzled students found seats on the floor of the desk less classroom. Martha Cothren said, "Throughout the day no one has been able to tell me ust what he/she has done to earn the right to sit at the desks that are ordinarily found in this classroom. Now I am going to tell you." At this point, Martha Cothren went over to the door of her classroom and opened it. Twenty-seven (27) U.S. Veterans, all in uniforms, walked into that classroom, each one carrying a school desk. The Vets began placing the school desks in rows, and then they would walk over and stand alongside the wall. By the time the last soldier had set the final desk in place those kids started to understand, perhaps for the first time in their lives, just how the right to sit at those desks had been earned. Martha said, "You didn't earn the right to sit at these desks. These heroes did it for you. They placed the desks here for you. Now, it's up to you to sit in them. It is your responsibility to learn, to be good students, to be good citizens. They paid the price s o that you could have the freedom to get an education. Don't ever forget it." By the way, this is a true story.... If you can read this, thank a teacher. Because it is written in English, thank a Veteran

Tell me about it my wife graduated from there.

no moving. Try getting ahold of Verse he used to work at a saturn dealership and is well versed (no pun intended) with saturns.

come the 22nd of Feb I wil lbe doing this for 2 years. Thankfully we have above average insurance. Money wise it will always be a struggle until they can start school which will free up alot of money for us to get back on track and try to get ahead but some of that money will still go to other things that the boys need. Honestly right now we live paycheck to paycheck and if we end up getting paid on the same pay period things get extra tight. But we manage we make sure the important things are taken care of if Aut or I have to go without so be it, itt sucks but thats the way it is. If you try ot plan for the what ifs or maybes you will kill yourself trying to stay ahead of them. Best thing I can say is If you truely want to have kids and have a family you will do it.

I would love to be able to do that but at this point in my life there is no way possible for that to happen. Maybe when the boys get into school things will be a little better for us.

just because a child runs to your g/f doesn't mean anything. My boys are the same way when we go to Easter seals for there speech Theropy. They are just excited to see there teachers and they only spend a little over 2 hrs a day with them 4 days a week. It is sad that the parents have to drop a child off for 12 hrs at a daycare but what if they are a single parent and are the primary income for that household I agree it would be better for any child to have more interaction with a parent but at the same time the time they do spend at daycare/pre-school or whereever it is they go will also help build socal and bacis interpersonal skills that some kids don't get till they start Kindergarden. daycare has its goods and bads there is no way around it.

thats sounds awfully ambisous. Google has nothing. slow to post owns me

its happened at least once before a goalie was hit in the neck as well.
