Charter/home school.

At my elementary school someone would get out a pocketknife, then two boys faced one another with their feet spread as far apart as possible.
We took turns throwing the knife into the ground between the other boy’s feet. He had to put his foot where the knife stuck.
Back and forth until someone chickened out. I suppose today that wouldn’t fly.

... and we wore onions on our belts.

“This COP should be ridiculed and shamed for doing this, I don’t care if he was Just Following Orders”

If mammon-worshipping conservatives ever get off their fat, useless asses and show up at the local city council meeting, they could ridicule and shame this cop and also demand that the police chief be fired.

"she needed the knife to protect her and her family because she had heard the stories about clowns jumping out of the woods and attacking children"

The Senate clowns are more dangerous by far. That's debbie stab-ya-now on the left.

Can’t say as I blame her.

I ***HATE*** clowns with a passion.

They ALWAYS have creeped me out.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Knives a few years ago were as ubiquitous as cell phones today. I carried a nice stainless divers knife in addition to numerous pocket knives. Nice solid block of moly-steel. Used to practice throwing it constantly. Also had a bayonet and a knurled “tire thumper” in the truck. Wonder how many years that’d get me today?

In the 50s we all had pocket knives and took them to school and everywhere else.
