Hi Laura,

Recently, after several years of coping with such wondrous destructive
behavior my friends' son decided to quit.  He said the children's homes
and
neighborhoods are bleak lethal war zones.  They see no
future, have no hope, believe no one cares about them.   Those running
the school system were in effect warehousing the children and
disinterested in their welfare.

I'm glad you love your job.

"Slow is good."

Her's the stuff I have learned with my "jail bird" high schoolers in the
past 6 weeks.

!.She's/he's my dog! (She's/he's my frriend and confidant--I think she's
cool)

2.Peace-Out  (good bye-, best wishes)

3. They're shakin' it (well, yes of course they are having intercouse).

I'll send more to all my "dogs" when I get a handle on it all.

These are not your typical high school students, but they are a likeable
crew despite ripping me off last week, had the the pregnant teenager
straight from the pit of hell who dimantled my whole classroom in 1/2
hour,
and of course the complete cuss out and "hope you die" phrase tacked on
the
end of it. All in a days works. I think these kids have a few "issues"
;-/
I love my job!
Laura
