spring picture

ly
seriously intense blooming redbuds this year, full of bumble bees and other buzzers
scores of blooms yet to burst from the wisteria, which has only bloomed once in its 10 years of being here
lilac out today, amazing spring

Went into burg to meet Pat for movie at Lyric,"The Class," memories of school board and of teaching. Fault of expulsions; limits of respect - when the boundaries of class rooms are violated by society's obvious lack of respect for the teaching profession. This French movie could easily have been filmed in America. Interesting discussion: can education alone help raise a student out of poverty? Only if the student can manage the education academic system in place. Too many students have little respect for the system available; they want money and things...what does an education garner when the drug dealer has better clothes than the teachers? wisdom from the mouths of rappers.
