oh good question

let's get Shawn some karma

i moved my plurk over here

Amen, brother...

i love that obama brought this to sex education.

lets see if Carlson comes by

here on the Sullivan Karma Train

last question

woo-woo!

John McCain is cranky...

I'm missing CSI-NY for this

me too lol

let me help...someone dies, and Lt. Dan tricks some sap into spilling his guts...cue credits

yeah thats it right there

money for students

and smaller bills

this was a topic he hit hard when he came to NTC.

we need to invest more in higher ed.

its the truth that whole house before a house statement is the truth

and i go to a cheap school

How do you feel about tenure?

how does mccain figure that charter schools will be available to more students without throwing money at them?

screw tenure. I don't have tenure...do you at your job?

in the colleges?

OK, we've got like 3 conversations going on here...

if that is the case, without tenure i think you disrupt the process of "zeitgeist"

be that good or bad

bless you...

was raised by 4 educators

I agree with Shawn. One of the things about education that bugs me is, at some levels, professors loose touch and are no longer relevant

This costs students $$$, and harm education. Just me.

there is definitely an "ivory tower" mentality to some.

i agree - but I see it as more of a double edged sword.

I don't have that job security. No one should. I'm for performance based reviews

it's not about the security it should be about the freedom to think without consequence

i think that aspect is important

i also think alot of tenured profs are dicks as well

you should never try to squash new or original lines of thought

Good point on the freedom to think and express, hadn't thought of that.

it is abused though which is another totally valid point

did McCain just say "make health care avoidable?"

Man, that was a wild debate...

composed is correct

and that's that.

this concludes this plurk

thanks for the karma bump...

What? This is Shawn's (hijacked) Plurk, Alex can't shut it down?

that is true

screw you hippies. I'm goin' to bed.
