I wish there were auctions for large goodies like that around here.

There is a cute benchtop lathe hiding there.

He, Ig. I read a nasty rumor in Newt's _Lessons Learned the Hard Way_
book today. It said that Cook County Illinoise schools teach in over
200 languages. Tell me it isn't so! Bilingual is expensive enough.

I am in Dupage county, not Cook, and never heard of this.

Looks like it discusses English and Spanish as languages for
instruction, and mentions other languages in a transitional program,
which I interpret as just helping them get started with English

I remember being ****ed off every time I got a California ballot with
the 28 different translations available. It's probably up to 60 now.
I doubt this was what he referred to, but I'll keep digging.


(ie, they do not teach math in Russian)
