Lunchbox at the Public School Zoo

This is the show from Wednesday March 19th, 2008.

SUMMARY:

* Florida Teacher has Boy Go in Lunchbox: Yes, it's true.

* Britain's War Against Baggies: Primed Minister Gordon Brown, the U.K. leader, has been duped by dirt worshippers into waging jihad against convenience after a completely false report that 1.1 million animals a year suffocate in plastic bags.

* Obama the Only Clueless Church Member: When Barak Obama's pastor, the Right Rev. Wrong of Chicago's Trinity United, preaches hate, absurdity, and racism, his huge congregation does not go silent with shock, but wild with applause. The reaction of the church shows that such statements were expected and welcome. And it turns out that Barak, one of the brightest men in the nation, attended this racist church for 20 years and was the only clueless member.

* Nate from Las Vegas and John in Denver: Bob gives some fatherly advice to a young man deciding whether to start competing with his own boss in a garage door company. And John talks to Bob about those who oppose the Iraq war because they hate George Bush more than they love the Iraqi people.

Today's Resource: Have you heard about the BEL special of two MP3 CDs of Bob Enyart's audio teaching of The Plot and The Tree for one price of $49.99? The Plot: Every story has a plot, and a story's details can be confusing unless you understand its overview. The Bible tells the story of human history and the work of God for His creation, and this story has a plot as well! Grasping the big picture will help you reconcile many seemingly contradictory and controversial Bible passages. Achieve a fuller understanding of God's plan from Genesis to Revelation and equip yourself to share God's Word with friends and family. Consider listening to The Plot series based on Bob's manuscript of the same title. Then enjoy Bob's book studies and see how the big picture can help you to better know the living God. The Tree: For thirty five years Bob Enyart has studied God's Word praying for the wisdom to share the truth of Scripture with a lost and dying world. Now you can benefit from this very exciting Bible study. The Tree CD will take you back to the Garden of Eden to examine the legacy and impact of this famous tree on humanity. Find out where the tree is today and what its final destination will be. After listening to the prerequisite, The Plot, Bible, the Bible studies on The Tree CD will entertain, excite and challenge you toward godly living!

Why can't english teachers just let their students take a hall pass to go to the restroom? Other teachers do! Just not english teachers? Do we speak english so informal?

That should read "English teachers...informally" so apparently you had no difficulty in obtaining passes. To be more precise you could have used "those who teach English," as otherwise some dolt might think you meant to reference nationality.

:think: You didn't, did you?

See what I mean? lain:

Thomas, 13, says his language arts teacher, Jameeka Chambers, gave him two options when he had to go to the bathroom at Meadowbrook Middle School in Orange County. She said he could wait until the end of class or use her lunchbox in the back of the classroom.

She wanted him to pee in HER lunchbox???

Uh... ok... :kookoo:

The majority of my class is around thirteen years old. They have five minutes between periods to use the bathroom if they have to. Instead, they wrassle and shout in the hallways until they're shooed into the classroom. When there's a sub, one of their favorite games is to try to get a bathroom pass. Their regular teachers know it and are very sparing with them.

One thing I have learned is that you never give a kid an option that you really don't want them to take.

This is clearly a sign that all public schools are the spawn of Satan himself.

There are also some more sensitive issues which could prevent a child from going in that 5 minute time period between classes. Public school is a terrible solution, and can be traumatizing to some who have to endure it.

That is true. Teachers have to use their discretion. There are students however who will use any excuse to disrupt the class.

Well said! Yes, the problems with public school are many. One fact that stands out with such clarity is that adults do not experience a work environment similar to the room-to-room study style as we have in public school. That situation leads to a plethora of problems, kids being afraid of using busy bathrooms for many reasons. The whole school environment is unhealthily, not to mention what others have said.

I think the first through 8th grad single classroom is the best system and I an glad I was able to learn in that environment.
