allow me to read these posts, but I have lost the ability to converse in
anything other than reciting the days of the week, or possibly conjugating a
few irregular verbs.
I would be interested in hearing a French point of view on Wicca....

Il y a beaucoup des gens qui parlent francais en ici, et des qui sont
francais(e)s. Mais je veux savoir, pourquoi il n'y a pas un ensemble comme
cette en francais? Alors, bienvenue - pendant il y a beaucoup des gens qui
ne parlent pas francais ici, il y ont assez lui parler.
Alors - a sujet de moi - je ne suis pas francais (peut-etre vous l'avez
devine? Desolee pour mon francaise horrible - j'espere vous me comprendez!)
mais je suis australien. Je suis plus jeunes de la plupart des gens ici,
mais plus vieux des autres... Je suis un solitaire, et vraiment je ne sais
pas quelle tradition je practice, alors j'assume je suis un eclectique!
Alors j'espere vous trouvez beaucoup des Wiccas qui parlent francais ici -
ils le parle mieux a moi, je devinerais...
A bientot,

my french language skills are just good enough to guess, that there might be
wiccans lurking in france.
wonderful, welcom to the european witches community.
i'd like to know more about what you people do ... if possible in a language, i
can understand, that would be english (you guessed that, didn't you ?), dutch
(nederlands) or german (deutsch, but, nobody speaks german anyway).

i've only had one year at university ... and i've forgotten most of it .. so i
can understand most of what i read, but cant regurgitate anything ... one of the
universities near me offers an accelerated french over the summer, so i may take
that this year as kindof a refresher course.
as far as internet goes, i've just had bad luck finding francophones on the web
.. maybe you could reccommend a couple places?

very poor education there. We then left England so our children could be
better educated elsewhere, and chose Canada. While I still think Canada's
education system is better, I'm still not satisfied and am now

High School).

LEARN".
It came in useful as a few years later I was at the scene of a traffic
accident in Germany and the police officer attending pretended he knew no
English just so that the German idiot who caused the accident would get
preferential treatment. The English bus driver who was minding his own
business and got cut up by a moron in a sports car (which was the loser in
the altercation) was suddenly a "verrückter Treiber" and I allowed this
mind-blowing bias to go on for a while then summoned up all my courage and
told the police officer in my best German how I had 32 English witnesses
that I was willing to interpret statements for one at a time until done. He
decided he didn't have time for that and let it go.

some of that rather depends upon who one's teacher is, the school district, the
parent's board, etc ..
i was fortunate enough to have -- at least in highschool -- several history
teachers who taught things from an anti-propaganda point of view, and literature
teachers who were more into comparative lit than strictly anglophone lit.
but, i would agree that these people do not constitute the majority or the norm
-- and especially so in public schools.

How things have changed, then, and not for the better.... When I was a
student in the American public school systems, World History, World
Georgraphy and World Literature were courses one was required to have
passed before one was granted a high school diploma. And "Humanities"
courses were also offered that dealt with the cultural developments
(usually music and the plastic arts) leading up to modern society.
Blessed be,

Those subjects are still taught in American public schools, Baird.
Don't despair :)
American public education is not in as dire straights as some people
(usually politicians) would want you to believe. But for pols,
education reform is a catch-word that gets them votes.
I honestly think that students today are receiving a better education
than I did (HS grad, 1972). Fortunately, I have always been a
voracious reader, so I was able to fill in the gaps and made it
through university quite well. (Except that to this day, I can't do
more than simple sums). My students (7th and 8th graders) know more
math than I do.
Of course, there are bad schools and bad teachers, but those exist
everywhere. At least in Florida, we are trying to do something about
it. I am a heretic among teachers for advocating the end of automatic
tenure for public school teachers, and for applauding strict
accountability measures. We owe it to the children we teach.

No they do teach world history, always have done, though obviously they
don't teach American history as they would if you were in an American
School. I have found generally that country's tend to teach their own
history's first and foremost, and then World history.

Well, until Russia becomes part of Britain, that's NOT true & BTW the

What is British science exactly.... only spelling is different!

A proper course on British history and geography would be
global and all-encompassing. There was a time when "The sun
never sets on Britain" was a true maxim because somewhere
on the globe British-controlled territory was in daylight.
I had the opportunity to visit the Tower of London and view the
crowns of the Royal Family. The crown that I found most
impressive was "The Crown of India" -- very large, very elaborate
design, and composed entirely of diamonds. Seeing that
crown gave me a better perspective on British history.
My opinions.

Our history classes were set up (at least in middle America in the
70's) such that we would have American History one year, World
History the next year, American Government the year after that, etc.
I had a lame history teacher though, so didn't even realize that I
*liked* history til after I graduated from school. :)

shame because I don't really have all that much of that...
Your comment reminds me of a story about a couple holidaying in France, and
in Versailles they were driving around and were arguing over the
pronunciation of Versailles. So when they stopped at Burger King and ordered
lunch they said (in French, bien sur) 'Excuse me, but could you pronounce,
very slowly, the name of this place we're in?'
The waiter thinks for a while then replies 'Burrrrrrr-gerrrrrr Kiiiiiing'
