hiya tumbleweed and Hope---good to see ya--

the other thing is that our acreditation was anemic....were did not have enough volumes in the library...enough PhD's on staff etc etc....and on and on....at any rate...I do know Don Wierwille did try to get it up to a better standard, but it never did happen....Nick Maxson always feigned it was just fine even for the College Division kids too....facts was it was never the same kind of transferable credits.

toto,

I just spoke to a Registrar yesterday about this very thing.

The state that gave the acreditation, albeit it was not academic and had differnt critieria...it as still issued.....by the state of Indiana. Therefore, the Department of Education for the state of Indiana was supposed to have all records turned over to them when TWI schools went out of business in those states. However, after explaining to this Registrar the nature of this outfit, TWI, and its lawsuits and decline in census...she and I pretty much came to the conclusion it would turn up nothing....I am still planning to write Kansas and Indiana Dept of Ed to see what they do have. Otherwise get it of your records, or change majors to one that does not require those transcripts even if you have put it on some paper work. I have also got ongoing correspondance with the Records depts of the school I am attending as to my progress with this. I changed my major to escape the hoop jumpimg associated with WCofE transcript problems.

I wouldnt bother sending them any money though...theses clases dont transfer anywhere that worth anything.

we used the summer time to let them go bottomless when no one was around...so they could GO quicker....only thing was...the boy liked the idea of peeing in the back yard eau natural...but got the hang of it...I encoraged it...sad to say because day care prices went down when they were potty trained.

bribe Mommy

well....I can only imagine the sky high budget for a column in the St Mary's Evening Leader....

I think it probably would not even exceed the price of my first car MANY years ago.

oh brother....lemme guess---promoting adultry?

yeah!!

it feels good to be nice and that is the most important...plus it makes the other person feel good...but its not just about the feelings is it?

the secondary benefit is that it is SOOO in your face to TWI at least to my way of thinking.

hmm--vieweristic--cyber version

Jonny - check your private topics

stil have a rolodex...hubby uzez...but I would like a Rolex.

Yeah---TIA's are real and are a red flag.

That's exactly what I thought then read Zixar's post to you and all the others....

go to your Doc.

the idea of catching one in a contradictory statement or some such....is probably the residual of symptamatic cult life....a common thread amoung many ex-cult people.

Trying to shake the imperialistic sense of superiority these cults can bring to ones personality is a humility process all its own.

Hey I just had top stop by and say "HEY" to the old Satori .... You sound pretty good ,, like your ole self, must be getting good sleep these days.. ;)-->

I made one very good friend after 1 year of being "out." I told her everything without using the world cult. SHe had been in an extremely bad marriage...(a similar environment in my opinion)...and here in New Mexico we have a wide variety of individualistic type people.

One day, she was talking to another friend of hers who was an aquaintence of mine and when I said something about something--to the effect "that's nothin..." about a bad situation getting worse ...my close friend says to the other lady.."she was in a cult..." very matter of factly. I just sorta looked at my friend hoping her judgemnet of this other person was worthy to reveal this "horrible" thing....eventully I came to the opinion by lack of shock effect that my problems and life were not really any more or less crazy than anyone else around here.

yeah--between hubby and I both--well over 50,000...I have the records...I could diggem' all up, hmmm---course that was between 87-2000, not even including 74-87---sheesh what a sucker I was

.

the pitiful thing is--they probably would not have known about it except for you Pirate---yet the rest of the world can identify and it would be entirely over any TWI'ers head.

spent a few weeks at Ocean Shores- near Greys Habor!! nice area!

dont worry Cindy--the shortage is job security...

another thought on the parental involvement issue:

here in NM...where we have a good 40 % of our school pop as Hispanic, the cultural paradigm is that it is the teacher's job to educate...not the parents...and this is especially true the close to first generation mexican/american and-or the rejection of parental involvement ideas are stronger when the parents are less educated.

In cases like this - we will not increase these parents involvement until they begin to change their cultures. The Alpha Mom's on the high powered PTA's in most suburban MC or UMC schools are not to be found here in the urban schools at all. Some might find my comments offensive, but the studies bear me out on the involvmnet issues.

I think the worst culprit are the whole language "priests" in my not so humble opinion. And then the idea we are competeing with video games....so we have the publishers put these books with lots of pictures and colors together....I better not get started.....I hate publishers....

AS close as civilians unfunded by a municipality can get.

I think I'll start a private school for dyslexic kids....maybe.....

NCLB seems to be a paper theory which discusses evidenced based techniques, yet the act itself is not an evidence based idea.

I have met Reid Lyon and know one of his teachers well...His own teacher ( a 60+ yo speech and language professor)thinks they have not got this one quite right.

Having studied the National Reading Panel's report and read the act carefully, I also believe that school districts have been put in the position of trying to factory produce a population of Lexuses on a Yugo budget.

Parents---if they are also able to get a palatable version of all the above would know of more so called rights...(IDEA has Rights, NCLB does not) i.e. a parent insisting a reading program be evidence based vs. a good sounding ideology without research back-up.

Problem is...I'm anal and actually read that stuff, but 99.99% of the pop. doesnt. Furthermore-many fight change of any kind and then on top of that there are the different cultural paradigms that include and exclude parental involvement...for whatever cultural value. It is pretty messy.

WG- I agree with ya--but, it was works ...from then on...at least everything else we did sure seemed like our works were the apex of good and bad results. (closer to karma really)

that pretty special!

the Eucerin is actually made by a different company than Eutra...but I like the Ahava DERMUD the best.

The only thing we really held to post-way was pushing ourselves to come to an agreement of some kind when we disagreed. Sometimes we woud have to talk all night... but thats okay...coming up on 17 years. Hubby works so ard now---he counts on me to handle it all most of the time and keep him informed, on rare occaisions, I have to call and do the "we need to talk" about whatever, but not much...we were older when we got married and both had a fair amount of life experience, despite George Hendley putting down my husband at our rehearsal dinner...but htat's another thread.
