[AusRace] Physical violence vs words

[L.B.Loveday]

Why the crap ones are employed at all should be beyond us all, but I can
explain it, but not here.

Louise is lucky to have had a happy upbringing and been able to provide the
same for herself. Nick would be one of the first to acknowledge the bad,
even evil effects that words can have on children; they can affect many
adults similarly.

I've seen physical and mental abuse/violence, and I'll stick my hand out for
the cane anytime. Detached retinas are bad, but are easier repaired than a
crushed sprit, a feeling of worthlessness and an alienation from those who
cared for, and still care for, you.

And the sooner we implement a school voucher system the better for all.
Why it is that good teachers earn the same as crap ones is completely
beyond me.
