Is there more of your French Treat to come? <BR/><BR/>I agree with you re: the divide of science and art. I did maths, physics and chemistry too, but stamped my foot and added art to my timetable which became an intolerable squeeze to the school administrator.Bittersweethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02336289793698943669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10748245.post-81613680804736538442007-08-03T14:23:00.000+00:002007-08-03T14:23:00.000+00:00Oops, a bit late with my comment, as you are proba...Oops, a bit late with my comment, as you are probably already on holiday...

Because of proximity to so many different languages, I'm sure there is a greater need/focus on them. Our educational system is in sad shape, as they choose to "lower the bar" so nobodys' feelings get hurt. Until you get to college where you pay for a education, there are very few challenges for students.buffalodickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663035745368682736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10748245.post-11812048934271470382007-08-03T05:33:00.000+00:002007-08-03T05:33:00.000+00:00headless chicken – It was an aptitude ( if indeed ...headless chicken – It was an aptitude ( if indeed that is what it is?) driven by lust I am afraid.
