3rd Grade Teacher
In the last Newsletter I mentioned the 3rd Grade Class picture sent in by Cathy Riordan Full and asked who the lay teacher was. I got the following response by email from Pat Urbut
“The 3rd grade teacher was Mrs. Cusack. She used to favor you girls. She hated the lazy good for nothing boys. She would have the students with 100′s in spelling tests stand up for recognition and mention how many weeks in a row that Mary Eberhart, Dorothy Koch, Cathy Riordan, Maryann S. and others received 100′s and say nothing about myself and any other boys. I can’t forget her. Pat”
It must be Mary Ellen Eberhardt that you are mentioning Pat, as I am pretty sure I had Sister Malcolm for 3rd grade. I don’t remember having a lay teacher at all.
Sue, and 
Jimbo are discussing.

Sue,
Good thought. I honestly believe that people with reading, writing and language skills like ours were lumped together in the last election under the the pejorative term, intellectual elitists. Ya know there ain’t many elitist liberals in Crawford, Texas. Its the 1 gallon head in the ten gallon hat phenomenon. Basic educational skills are sadly lacking.

Here is a good example of the corporate irresponsibility that feeds the dumbing of America. Today I was watching some TV and a Smith’s Grocery ad came on with their hype about lowering prices yadda yadda and then they had cameos of “regular customers” touting the greatness of Smith’s. The one that made my head snap up (I was multi-tasking) was a young woman with straggly hair who proclaimed proudly that “Me and my family save lots of money by shopping Smith’s”.
How can you expect people to have an appreciation for education when the corporate giants (Smith’s is part of Kroger) pander to the lowest levels. Appalling!
