{too much religion}

i work at a great school.  we do so much and follow best practices and best procedures, so it brings up the question of 'why aren't we accredited?'  because we certainly could be!  this year we have been undergoing all sorts of meetings and paperwork to get the official seal of accreditation.

one of our steps is to survey our students, families, and church goers about our school... which is where this story comes from:

the first/second grade teacher was giving her students the survey... "color the smiley face if you agree, and the unhappy face if you disagree."  she read each statement (30 or so questions)  and her students shaded in the faces.  at the end of the questioner there was a comment section where the teacher instructed, "if you think there is anything important that we missed that would help our school please write it in the comment section..."  

to her surprise, one little lady didn't hesitate to express her feelings.  in big letters she wrote:  "too much religion."  

hunny, did you forget that you go to a catholic school?

{a world without women}

one of the blessings of a catholic education is that the kiddos get to learn many of the wonderful prayers the catholic church teaches.  when your a kid, sometimes words in prayers just don't click...or they are too big to pronounce and you don't understand them... sometimes they just get jumbled... (and sometimes this happens to adults too-- i'm guilty!)

the kindergartners were practicing the "glory be"...glory be to the father, to the son, and to the holy spirit.  as it was in the beginning is now and ever should be, world without end, amen. 

  however, one little lady squirt changed the ending... as it was in the beginning is now and ever should be, WORLD WITHOUT WOMEN, amen. 

opps.  can you imagine, a world without women!? lady squirt, i think we better pray for something else :)
