'First Date'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I recently purchases Brave New World with the intention of re-reading it - I'll get right on that so I can send it to you. I'm pretty sure I have Handmaid's Tale around, so if I find it I'll send it as well.
You can send your snail address to my profile addy....
So do you need these by Nov 17? or before that?
Kat, let me put the word out at school. Our students buy their own books, and some of them may be willing to part with their old copies. Their copies my have annotations, though--I assume you'd prefer clean copies?
Kat, insent to your profile addy.
and I have just found out that the school has rejected my request to purchase these books
WTF? How are you supposed to teach them?
I also asked my bosses - one said he thinks he has a few of those books, and if he doesn't he'll give a donation.
So, Paypal or check?
WTF? How are you supposed to teach them?
Stone tablets, I'm guessing.
Our district rejected the middle school band director's request to buy new sheet music. Using the textbook funds that are supposed to be allocated to all classes. But band's an elective. So we get to pay an extra 150.00 for the kids to be able to have music.
In my HS band we just photocopied most of our sheet music (especially the little sheets for marching and pep band). But I suspect this might be a more risky option these days....
A CD company, Archeophone Records has released Debate '08. That's 1908, dear friends, the master debaters being Williams Jennings Bryan, Democrat, and William Howard Taft, Republican.
Kat, my mom is a former English teacher & works at a used bookstore now. I've put her on the case.
Oh yeah, we used to do the same thing-- the school would buy one set of sheet music with X number of parts and if we needed extra copies, we'd just Xerox. But to deny new music period? Just blows my mind. I mean, my junior high and high school were basically middle class and we still managed to get new music every year. My kids' schools are in a solidly upper middle class district and we spend more than my mother ever did just on "basics."
