issues in elementary education

im sticking to it. i'm staying in this class for it's entire duration.

watched the inaguration today.
if he keeps his word he could be a great president,
but i still was unclear on some of his words.
like when he said "if you kill innocents,we will defeat you."
something like that, referring to terroists.
my question would be, how?
again when he said he wants to give everyone the opportunity to succeed.
once again, how?
giving them free governmental help?
free ride alongs?
how are we going to defeat terroists and their organizations?
peace talks for endless months?

overall, it was a good speech.
and even better was rick warrens prayer.

although i don't always agree with everything that he is about,
his prayer was good and poignant.
when he said, "let's pray."
i bowed my head.
but i realized that i was doing something i don't normally do.
pray in school, in public.
i was a little nervous at first,
thinking about everyone looking at me
and wondering why i was praying,
but i realized something else,
it's not about them,
it's about God and i.

i felt comfortable praying to a God who is with me in school.
cause it sucks alone.
and sadly i spend most of my days, here at school, alone.

well here goes a presentation on corporal punishment.
argh
