Youth does not necessarily mean stupidity, ignorance, or incompetency, and I wish that society would recognize this more.Nicole Schrandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03533376688765619260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358851944031961968.post-28676841233859427032011-02-22T15:25:37.408-05:002011-02-22T15:25:37.408-05:00You're absolutely right: as soon as students s...You're absolutely right: as soon as students see you're lying about one thing, they discount it all.The Ridger, FCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538111197270563075noreply@blogger.com
