Ian, you are so right. I was just rethinking my post and I was coming back to post this retraction when I saw your post.
I'm embarrased to have written that at this time. My feelings about the career of ANS should not have surfaced at this time. I apologize for my lack of sensitivity. I sometimes forget that I made the stupidest, most redicucous choice in MY life just 2 short years ago. No one is above anyone else, and I feel terrible about posting those very imapropriate words, at a time when sympathy was called for.
One of the best lessons I am learning as a teacher is that consequences do NOT have to be given immediatly. Sometimes, a little "cooldown" is a blessing in many ways. In the future, I will try to think a little longer before I say or do anything that may be imappropriate.
I was not a fan of her career, but as a fellow human, my heart goes out to her poor little child. Her road will be very hard, and I wish her a better life than her Mother had. That's my wish for my own kids too. I hope they avoid the mistakes I made, and I hope you can all disregard my insensitive coments above. It was out of line, and I am sorry that I posted it.
