Man Enough to Admit My Mistake

I understand exactly what you're saying. I'm ex-military and was stationed in Kores twice during my service and the people are great. Education is the top profession in the country. Germany is the same way---teacher get so much respect. Only in America are teachers treated like nothing. Believe me--I know. I was in education for 13 years----teacher; Asst. Principal; Principal------and man--What a job. Love the kids, but dealing with parents was enough to make me let it go and move into the university level. Teaching overseas is GREAT. Keep up the good work.

Great message Lonzo.

My advice to anyone who would listen -- especially kids who've never really travelled outside of their city or state, is that the world is so much bigger than the "block" we live on. The sky's the limit when you eliminate artificial barriers that pits "you against the world". Branch out, see the world, experience other cultures (especially the food!!)

I made a goal to myself that I would visit all 50 states before I die and explore at least one country each in Africa, Europe, Asia, South America, Australia and the Caribbean Islands. I'm now 52 and visited 25 states, several Caribbean Islands and Canada. I look forward to the rest of life's adventure!!
