Tomorrow is Veteran's day

so no mail delivery.

Oh yeah, there's a school board meeting too...

Items you might find interesting on the Agenda all revolve around curriculum related issues at the high school:

New Business
B. Discussion and Possible Approval of the High School English Instructional Materials. (Bill Breisch, Janet Blimling and Paul Brost).
- Staff will present a request for approximatly $30,000 for new English Instructional Materials related to curriculum alignement.

C. Discussion and Possible Approval of the Project Lead the Way Principles of Engineering (POE) Course as a Science Elective Beginning the 2010-11 School Year.
(Jake Mihm & Jeff Otto) (20 min.)

D. Board Rule 343.2 – Class Size – Discussion
- Changes to the class size guidelines with increased ranges in the high school will be considered. Increasing class size is probably the easiest way to reduce costs in the district, given the current budget outlook revised guidlines may be necessary to provide the flexibility needed to get through the next year.

For 90 years, the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month has been a remembrance of those who served America in time of war.

In case, you did not know:
"ONn that day in 1918, at the 11th hour, Germany signed an armistice with the Allied Powers — including the U.S., France, Britain, Japan and Italy — ending major hostilities in a war that nearly wiped out a generation of men."

from our President:
"For our troops, it is another day in harm’s way. For their families, it is another day to feel the absence of a loved one and the concern for their safety. For our wounded warriors, it is another day of slow and arduous recovery. And in this national cemetery, it is another day when grief remains fresh.”"

I wish if you were going to note the day......

Very good! your satirical response is a perfect riposte to my satirical post. So I assume that you got what I was aiming at:

Since congress moved Veteran's day back to 11/11 from the 4th monday in October in 1978, the holiday has become little more than a "postal holiday" for most americans.

Of course satire is dangerous as it allows the reader to interpret it in whatever light they choose. I should learn to refrain from it. (but i probably never will!)
