We had a baptism for 3 people today at our church.

Nhatnam graduated from James Bowie high school today. I and my brother went to the graduation at the Nokia Live Theater before headed up to Richardson for a highschool reunion of sort at my high school math teacher's house. He was stationed in Germany and served as an artillery captain with the US 3rd Army Division before becoming a math teacher. Yes, we do keep in touch after all these years. I chatted with him about school, education, funding, .... He confirmed the problem, that we do not need more dollars for education, but we do need more education for our dollars as Peggy Venable of the American for Prosperity has been saying for years. Corruption at the DISD headquarters is the biggest problem. Then we need strong principle at each of the school. We need to give them the power to do their job but then hold each accountable. However, I discover that the problem is much bigger than just the education system. The problem is more with the culture. Thank God for Bill Cosby and we need more people like him, both in the African-American community and the Hispanic community.
