about school and Tia

[Guest guest]

Another thought on this subject is the school bus driver. I drove a bus for many years and know for a fact the bus driver is usually the last to know about medical problems, it's getting better but make sure if she rides a bus the driver knows. Some schools allow food and some don't. I really love the reaction all of you had, it's refreshing to be understood. those friends do indeed deserve a hug. I also like the medical ID braclet idea. Best of luck to Tia and parents. Jeanie [mt.]

It is in me to despise the poor simply for being poor. It is in me to

snub the needy for being so. It is in me to scorn the sick, the injured

and the weak because they are. These are rusty gears and squeaky wheels

in the machine that otherwise could be my well oil Utopian life. It

seems as if they are the source and result of lies that sap and

frustrate the Utopian machine from running with a well tuned order. If

I had to sub in over a group of wild young minds while their regular

trainer was out it would be temping to see a lie at the root of any

such things that require a departure from the rules of order. It would

be temping to mold their minds to my will by publicly casting out the

apparent darkness by the light of my prejudices. In times like these I

depend on the lessons of life to do the right thing and not to simply

react to my prejudices.

There is no Utopian life in this world, but Tia's heroes are a bit of

heaven on earth. They acted as ambassadors of a higher domain. Such

heroes show us a better way when even those over us would have us give

in to our dark prejudices. They may even have given a spark to that

teacher which may in time produce a change. This probably says

something good about Tia that her friends were willing to believe in

her when an authority figure was giving reason to doubt. I feel sorry

for any students that may have been influenced by the sub. One of the

students in that class may grow up to be a leader. Will that leader be

a student of the lesson provided by the sub or Tia's heroes?

Blimey Notan,

That is SO wise and SO philosophical that I don't understand half of it!!!!!

Oh! If you can't hear it I must have been mumbling, I know you have a

good ear for these things.

Excuse while I go clean the word bits out of my food processor so I can

make a proper salad.
