My grandpa grew cotton on land just south of Lubbock, as does my uncle and many other relatives. Cotton farming is a pursuit requiring hard work, diligence, faith and optimism.

Maybe those are standards that today's educators do not want to be held to or reminded of. ...not to mention that CROSS thing!
