I'm a fan of capitalism because it's the closest thing we have to "you get what you deserve". We trade value for value. If a rancher wants to make more money, they raise more cattle....value for value. I believe that people of sound mind and body in this country have the opportunity to be wealthy if they're willing to devote their lives to that...most of us (myself included) are not.

OK, you have to use your imagination here. But, IF we had computers we could use to blog on back in the 70's, and IF I can recall what was important to "4th Grade Mark", then, it would've sounded like this. "I ran full speed out the door when they let us out of school today and I was the first one to get to where the parents park...

I had a conversation on facebook with a friend about being late for the first class of the day in high school. She had two points to make. One, it's only a few minutes late. And two, if you are more than 5 minutes late, you are counted as absent for that entire class...

I believe that i already pay enough of wages in taxes. Over half of my earnings go towards assorted taxes. That's going to have be enough. And I know that I'm not alone on this. We gave the schools 122 MILLION dollars three years ago...

Like many parents, I have my kid's school lunch menu posted on my fridge and take an occasional look at what she's having that day. Overall, her choices seem much healthier than mine were. For instance, the words "whole wheat" never appeared on any public school lunch menu that I ever attended...

I do not understand why school district 2 continues to have 4 o'clock kick-offs on Friday for the high schools. Parents and other family members and a lot of other fans simply cant make that. It's stupid. They could play Saturday night or Saturday afternoon...

Yesterday I took my daughter to the doctor to get some vaccinations she needed for school. The nurse that checked us in pulled up my kid's records and said, "Oh, she's missing her chicken pox vaccination." I know I'm late to the party on this one, but this was news to me...

What started out as an act of compassion has turned into a heated controversy.

A school in Richmond, Virginia has recently started enforcing a new rule that has parents up in arms. Following instructions laid out by the federal government, children are not allowed to bring their own bagged lunch to school without a note from a physician.

According to early news reports from both the Billings Gazette and KTVQ Lewis and Clark Middle School here in Billings went into lockdown over a student threat.
