the final debate
Wow, I was yelling at the TV the whole time. I won't say who I was for or what not, but I do have to say that while I'm very pumped for who I stand behind, I'll be happy when all of this over. 11.4.08- history will happen in some way or another- either a woman as a VP or a African American as the president. Thats what I tell my students when they start talking smack about each side (they are 6 graders who really dont hav ea clue, lol)
Re: the final debate
I didn't even watch it, I am trying to limit my stress level
Well yeah, many of his points make me yell at the tv, but I didnt want to start a political debate...thats why I was erring on the side of caution.
I'm glad its almost over!!! Go Obama!
I found the transcripts....wow. Yeah you would think he would get it right that he has DS and not autism, that is crazy....all of us know that and we don't know her personally like he does!
Yeah I'm not cool with military not having to take a test to teach, wtf? I had to take LOTS of tests as did any teacher and so should someone who gets out of the military. What about military people without degrees? We are going to let them teach...That is just strange in my opinion.
I couldn't believe he mixed that up. Autism and Down Syndrome are NOTHING alike. I'm guessing the average person didn't catch that, but I'm sure that parents of kids with either condition were totally shaking their heads over that one.
Not only did he keep implying that Palin knows ALL about special needs (and he did seem to use "autism" interchangeably -sp- with special needs), and with all due respect to any mother who will have to care for a special needs child, but the baby is only 6 MONTHS OLD. How much could she REALLY know about it in 6 months? I'm sure she has done a lot of research, just like we all would, but McCain kept saying something to the fact that she's been dealing with special needs for most of her life.
Unless there is someone else in her family that we don't know about, the last 6 months to a year, hardly seems long enough to become an expert on it.
LOL Jacki!
Agreed...he should have used the word "special needs" if he wanted to include all spec. needs children.
