LOL Lazs! I cannot for the life of me imagine you reading a Shakespeare sonnet!

Erm... but I couldn't either. I was tortured with Macbeth for a year, and tortured with Henry IV Part 1 for a further 2 years. I could never understand all that olde englishe... got a Grade 9 in the Eng. Lit. O level - the lowest possible grade.

But I read lots of books/newspaper articles, so I agree that hacking Shakespeare is not a yardstick of one's ability to do that.

beet.. we had to study shakespear in high school.. I actualy didn't mind it.. some of it was kind of funny and it is interesting now to notice that so many movies have his plots.

MT... you don't think obscure and silly poetry is a little strange for an exit exam in english?

the reason that ahhny is the great satan to the union of socialst teachers is..

He backs a balanced budget initiative that is on the ballot for november. The inititive says that we can't spend more than we take in even if it means that we don't increase the school budget by 10% per kid every year...

The other initive he backs is... unions would have to get permission from each member every year to spend their money on the commie candidates that the teachers back... How this works is... at the beginning of the year you sign a paper that says that you either want the portion of your dues that goes to political parties to be used as the union sees fit or not. If you don't like backing boxer and finesteirn and kerrie or gore or some ex black panther then you would say no....

it is really too fair of a concept for teachers to understand... beyond their socialist comprehension level.... "give people choices?" "but they will make the wrong ones!"

We really really really need vouchers in kalifornia..

I don't think Maya Angelou is either obscure or silly.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.

Seems to me she knows you pretty well lazs.

so you would flunk someone if they said that the poem meant that men tried to touch something she was hiding but they couldn't because it was invisiible?

In my case tho... I thank her for hiding it and ignore her efforts to show me... If she thinks I care then that is her problem.
