Hmmm. Don't ask me what they call math now, but I know they don't teach it like they did when I was a kid.<BR/><BR/>I've always felt that "tolerant" people really are not very tolerant at all. In fact, I remember reading a forum once where someone claimed that the only people it's okay to be intolerant of is the intolerant (i.e., Christians/conservatives). Because, of course, intolerance is the ultimate sin in their eyes. I'd rather be "intolerant" than a lot of other things, and I've long since quit apologizing for it, too.<BR/><BR/>I love the Internet because there are so many great Christian/Conservative blogs and stuff out there, where people can say what they really believe -- and they are gathering huge followings. I honestly believe the Internet has opened a way for Conservatives to get their views across and form communities.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07116309959024108648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2030327207083918133.post-19954476437419300992007-09-06T13:47:00.000-04:002007-09-06T13:47:00.000-04:00Oh Rana, I am so with you on your comments.

You are so good at saying it. <BR/> I to will do my best to raise a child of intergrety who is not afraid to make Godly choices and be strong to not give in to humanistic voices of this world.<BR/> The New Math? Can you believe that is what our parents were asking as well when we got our 'new math'. So, our math is the the new math that our parents was saying, "what's up with this new math" when we were kids. My question is, how many ways can math be new?<BR/>hmmmm.Sheila_Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05693180975995472831noreply@blogger.com
