School stories

Story #1

Helping my 10 year old study for a science test:

Dad: "A relationship in which one organism lives in or on another organism and benefits from that relationship while the other organism may be harmed by it. The answer is not "What is a Liberal.""


Molly: "What is a parasite."

Dad: "Correct."

Story #2

My daughter had to do a "current event" on "Economic Justice." I made some suggestions (not all of them were conservative in nature). She chose to use the "Plan to tax the Rich" to pay for healthcare reform. Her outline included observations such as "I think it is unfair to tax people ..... because those people wither work very hard or are good at what they do."

She receeived an "A" on the presentation, but her teacher approaced her and said something to the effect of "You did a good job, but you have to know that the people you are talking about (the "rich") have inherited money and they really don't work that hard for their money."

Even in a Catholic school, one can not protect your children from the liberal leaning teachers. Needless to say, my daughter knows better than to fall for that.
