It was either that or watch him pathetically cheat, a-la Chevy Chase in "Spies Like Us". Of course, r wouldn't have won the sexy Russian.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21615042.post-1141951392229624482006-03-09T18:43:00.000-06:002006-03-09T18:43:00.000-06:00Yeah, we have a large refugee contingent at our sc...Yeah, we have a large refugee contingent at our school as well.

All too often the kids that transfer into a classroom can really upset the apple cart you've spent all year building.<BR/><BR/>I live in an area that has seen a large number of refugees move into the area. Thanks to the International Rescue Committee, we receive students from very diverse backgrounds. Just when you think you've heard the worst story ever about a child's background, a new student moves in with an even more horrific backstory. Some of the kids have had a parent killed by the Taliban, some have lived in refugee camps their entire lives, many have never been to school before, some have never worn shoes. It's never dull. <BR/><BR/>My heart always aches for these kids because too often the other kids find these students to be easy targets. There is one student, however...whew. <BR/><BR/>She has a horrific backstory, and I feel an enormous amount of sympathy for her, but she is one of the biggest bullies I've ever seen, will lie to your face and argue with a wall until it cries uncle. And that's just at recess!Christine https://www.blogger.com/profile/13875375610840667246noreply@blogger.com
