Re: Can't Believe It's Really That Bad in California
Posted by: Good choice! on 6/26/09
I'm originally from Oklahoma and wish I could go back. California has
been my home for a long time but it's just too "out" there for me. I'm
more small town, conservative. I've also read articles about how
California's teaching colleges are pushing humanistic ideology,
student-centered teaching rather than teacher directed. I just have a
different philosophy.
Oh boy, wait to see what others post after reading this! lol
