What is so Ironic is that Mrs. Harkins stole statements verbatim from me and used them in her testimony. This one she used variations of several times (she did not deliver them as eloquently as I did in the board room, but she stole the line anyway) Our duty is to teach children how to think not what to think. She had no problems remembering spending $400 dollars for a stove four years ago but could not remember so many things when it came time to testify. She was always an arrogant pain in the posterior nether region. If you live outside of Dover then you would need to understand the dynamics of the town and I cannot explain that in this short of time. I am thinking about writing a book from a board insider’s point of view after I finish my Master’s program in November.

Or the difference between "less" and "lest". It seems to me it would be a good thing if candidates for school boards, state education and textbook selecting committees were required to pass a high school proficiency exam covering the topics included in their district’s/state’s curriculum. But that will never happen, I’m sure. Sigh. Poor dear doesn’t know how to spell. Or the difference between “less” and “lest”.
