Still she seemed to have a great life, although she passed away relatively young. Sad. Life is too short, I think.

In all my years of education, I only had 2 teachers that tested my thinking. Or demanded my respect because of THEIR thinking. 8th grade, then one of my best friends dad as a jr in college.
I know one day I WILL be that teacher.

I can understand the rationale, all right. But it's expensive, at $75, and, when you come right down to it, insulting. Seventy five dollars is expensive to me, at least. There are all sorts of jobs in which a sick individual could wreak havoc on society. Any low-level job involving food handling, for example. And these people aren't given any sort of background check. And I remember when the day care provider witch hunt was in full gear (in the eighties, IIRC). I have to wonder if this isn't just a continuation of the whole sorry hysterical trend. What's really disconcerting is knowing that some dolt of a flunky somewhere could make a mistake and my fingerprint could be linked to some sordid crime. In the godawful US legal system, defense against any sort of criminal charge is ruinously expensive, unless one wanted to rely upon the public defender, who'd have 5 minutes to consider my case.

I think the fucks who threw spitballs at the teachers when they were young fucks have become adult fucks who now influence policy. Ah, okay.
