crazy that i've spent so many years teaching others how to rationalize a denominator and such..
when perhaps, what we really need is for people to know how to be a person, how to find the thing they can't not do and do it everyday,
or perhaps, how to pick a husband, how to take care of a baby.
how to create a life that they want to live everyday...
imagine if nclb allowed for everyone a safe stable environment, to learn what matters most to them.
from cain:
studies in humans have found that adolescent girls with the short allele of the sert gene are 20% more likely to be depressed than long-allele girls when exposed to stressful family environments, but 25% less likely to be depressed when raised in stable homes.
