Parents, Schools,and Snark

by

thank youWhen I wrote yesterday’s post I sat there for the first hour debating on deleting it. I really expected to find a swarm of trolls leaving hate filled comments and flaming my post to the end og the web and back. Instead I found nothing but support and applause. Everyone got what I was trying to say. In fact the entire day went by without a single rude, hateful or trollish comment.

I’m welling up here!

I usually try to hold back the sarcasm online, mainly because it’s so hard to express across the web. If you were to come over to my house you’d experience a healthy dose of snark daily. But emotions and expressions don’t convert easily to pixels. So an extra big hug to everyone to got the intended idea. Today I brought the snark over to my personal blog in response to an article suggesting mandatory school by age 1 and longer school days and years to match. Come see if I can keep up the snark train two days in a row.

    I’ll be honest: I read your blog first thing every morning and when I saw yesterday’s entry I thought “She can’t be serious, can she?” Then I realized I hadn’t had my first cup of coffee yet.

    Well, one thing led to another and I eventually made it back to your blog after having plenty of coffee (perhaps too much). After re-reading the entry it was all I could do not to stand up and applaud you for pointing out something so obvious, so ironic and yet which so many of us had overlooked.

    Kudos to you!
