What do you think about the current math framework? It's a little more balanced than the one we've had in the recent past. Do you think we've lost our way in math, as we did for several years in language arts? I'm interested in your thoughts.

Message: Hi John
Back from New Orleans, they sure have a lota swamp back there. I ordered my t shirt but have a
question. Is any of the cost of the shirt going to the fund to help someone get ahead? There are probably alot of kids finishing school this coming June that could use help. Maybe we could start a account for donations to help pay someones way to college or just all the costs of books and etc. If we could do this I would love to help or at the least send MONEY. I dont know how many people we have on this web site but if we could get just a little from each person WOW! Does anyone out there like this idea. John I dont know how much more you can take on but maybe you can promote one of the royal court to royal money counter keeper. Also a royal student snoop to find a senior that needs help. Sorry about long e-mail.
Yes, we are planning on using a majority of the money to fund a scholarship for the "average student". Not sure exactly the criteria yet, but we'll work on it. Someone that maybe doesn't have the grades, but does have the desire. I'm sure we can get input from teachers on who this person will be. Thanks Carole.......

John, Did you check to see if Judy can stand up without falling over backwards? (I wonder if she can pass the sobriety test? Lean your head back, arms fully extended then bring them together and touch your nose.) Everyone, I have only had three responses to the request for your thoughts on the scholarship, two were suggestions about what they would like to see and one was for being on the committee to help organize the information to be presented to Cougartown.
No, The last I saw Robin was working on her weight transfer problem and I think there was a stagger problem too. She was pulling to the left something awful. I think he had her pretty well roughed in by the time we left Pinks though.
