I am an Internet Addict

The net has been down at my school site since Friday. I called tech support and some techie reported he had fixed the problem on Friday. NOT! So, I called tech support back today and the phone support person was very upset to hear that someone had marked the job as completed in the system when it wasn't. I guess someone is going to get in trouble, but hey...I STILL DON"T HAVE THE NET! Well, actually at this exact moment I do, but I am now at the University I teach at and they ALWAYS have the net. =)

Tomorrow is part two of the science competition between the school where I teach and a rather well-performing charter school. My students have been practicing like there is no tomorrow. I know they will do well.

On a side note, I am rather concerned about this charter school here in LA, Academia Semillas Del Pueblo, that apparently is teaching seperatism to it's Latino students. I am all for being proud of your heritage. Hell...I am totally proud of my Irish heritage. But I try to teach all my students, no matter where they are from or what their background is, the importance of being an American. Oh I know that is a bit old fashioned, but what can I say. I am not a right wing freak, I am totally on the left...Be happy to be an American, just do not trust the government! =)
