I’m not reading thru this but a lot of schools are having snacks in the later grades for the same reasons that they are serving breakfast — the kids aren’t getting enough decent food at home. There’s a program now to get a “whole food” (like an apple) snack to every kid — so with that and with lunch they’ll have two whole food servings. Which is really pathetic but …
To say, “we didn’t have a snack at school when we were kids!” is to say you grew up in a pretty nice home. Not everyone is so lucky.
I think a lot of the proud public school parents would make the leap if there was an option other than 25k private schools. The catholic schools used to fill that void – and still do in a lot of cities — but there is no good middle ground in NY. I’m sort of surprised nobody has come up with a 10k model. Serve organic food, let them play in the yard for half the day, call it “unschooling” and you’d clean up.
“Fortunately no-one knew becuase it already stinks like poop here.”
haha – so true!
I think the waste treatment plant needs to be building of the day (i’m only half joking) – anything that looks like metallic breasts is relevant in my book!

perhaps, but it can be a bit off-putting, and at the extreme a bit demoralizing, at times.
i know im totally uncultured because im not well traveled, but i do like art from other countries… probably because it is more fun to contemplate it’s actual context, which is hard to do if you dont already know something about culture.
but im sorry i find a lot of modern art to have come out in the last 10 years or so just terrible blah and cliche. even tho that’s pretty cliche to say. (im mostly talking about the visual arts of aint/sculpture,/photography/video and film tho) im sure there’s a lot less pretension in the decorative and minor arts..
