All,

I have been largely ignoring this whole thread, in fact several of the threads 
on this list lately.  Between computer troubles and working way too much, both 
for my employer and around the house, there hasn't been time to follow 
everything.  My delete key works fine, I see no need to drop from the list as 
some have.  This list has been, and should continue to be, about carving, not 
how you feel about schools, TV, parenting skills, etc...  Yahoo has literally 
tens of thousands of lists to join where you can rant and rave all you want 
about any subject you can think of.

As someone who's wife struggles daily with teaching music to elementary school 
kids, I have to say there is a lot to be said about how the school 
administration, the local, state and federal government all issue rules and 
regulations, and about the parents who raise some of these delightful children 
who can't behave/manage in a classroom setting, plus all the folks who scream 
about the money wasted on schools since they don't have any children there 
(anymore/never did).   To say that I don't agree with some comments and that 
there are two sides to every issue will be enough<grin>

For those who want to continue, please find a group at Yahoo to continue 
non-carving discussions.  To those who want to talk about carving, and how we 
become artists, or when, feel free.  If I don't want to read it, I know where 
the delete key is.......Thanks!!
