tori40 I have been a teacher for over 30 years and there was a day that corporal punishment was allowed and effective, in my opinion. I did spank many children but I did not do it out of anger or hatred. I loved and still love all of my students, no matter what...

tori40 D'Nealian is a wonderful method that we teach at our school in the early grades. It is designed to...when properly taught....help "walk" children easily into cursive writing. Printing is beautiful too...it is all just a preference, not all that important....

Why does Karma hate me?

alexzizi123 @alexzizi123 (307) • United States 9 Jul 09

I think that based on the life I lead, I should have pretty good karma. I don't. I have bad bad karma. My luck is horrible and I am a klutz. Why does Karma hate me so much? Can anyone identify, or am I really alone in this boat?
