I guess I should teach others the value of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31558682.post-76462189109087373702009-11-23T13:34:07.152-05:002009-11-23T13:34:07.152-05:00Thanks for the memories EngTchr, you're right ...Thanks for the memories EngTchr, you're right on the money with the Delaney Cards, which most teachers during that time wouldn't be without. My version was from the '60's, as I was born in 1959 and went to school during the sixies and seventies. What powerful memories they are indeed.Pretahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08446366373662723825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31558682.post-7884559044452467482009-11-23T13:30:29.367-05:002009-11-23T13:30:29.367-05:00Boy do those cards bring back memories.

While you most definitely "can not go home again", that doesn't mean the memories you had of those days (especially if they were good ones), should be done away with as well. The majority of the time, I thank God for the time when things that mattered the most weren't politically correct, because it's vastly different from anything these children are learning these days. Days and times "never" to be repeated again in our life time, and I'm not so sure 'moral-wise' that's such a good thing. God help us all.Pretahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08446366373662723825noreply@blogger.com
