While I'm roasting some for the freezer, I'm going to try it in your way too.. Think I'll put those in the pizza. :)Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07938245544735604650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-1147818798458689442006-05-16T16:33:00.000-06:002006-05-16T16:33:00.000-06:00CT, I'm so glad you liked it!

My neighbor liked it so much that he ate a whole bulb at one sitting. I am not quite sure if that's the right thing to do but I am also guilty of having eaten at least 6 cloves at one time!</EM>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-1147680502879130592006-05-15T02:08:00.000-06:002006-05-15T02:08:00.000-06:00Hi Lera!

Especially if your question to them was about their results. :D<BR/><BR/>Ashwini, I thought the same thing. I think we make many assumptions about schools because of what they say about themselves but that is not the case. I love the school my daughter goes to. It has a very warm feel to it and parental involvement is encouraged at every level. We work together rather than against each other in terms of expectations. It's almost too good to be true. <BR/><BR/>I see a strong positive side to this incident. Without the kids having seen too much, it made it very clear what is acceptable and what is not. The word spread like wildfire to the other 2nd grade classes so they got the message, too. Then I found out that the 5th graders had just had a sex education lecture so they were buzzing, too. A lot of the kids in 2nd grade have siblings in 5th grade. A lot of information gets shared!<BR/><BR/>The teacher is under tremendous pressure and I wanted to be proactive rather than reactive. She knows about SafeSearch, and I know there was a teachers' meeting so I am assuming this was discussed. She cannot be in charge of technology. The IT guys should have to have known better. However, I wouldn't put it past these kids to have changed the Preferences in order to do the search! My daughter knows about it and therefore I am sure other kids do, too. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I was hoping to follow up on it in person today. I volunteer in the Math class where I get to interact with the kids one-on-one - it's a real treat for me! But I've been sick for the last couple of days so it will have to wait till next week. But what a lot of excitement this has generated - at school, at home and in the neighborhood!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-1147391629197722212006-05-11T17:53:00.000-06:002006-05-11T17:53:00.000-06:00I would have thought the school would be the one p...I would have thought the school would be the one place where there would be the strictest control possible. Do you think they took all measures possible (I am not keyed into all the software out there)?

I see AdSense on your blog so I am guessing that's what your queries were about. <BR/><BR/>RP, we are avid VNC fans, too. We prefer Grisoft's AVG anti-virus for virus protection but it lacks parental control. So maybe Norton needs to be revisited.

I also have VNC installed on her computer so I can take a peek from my PC every once in a while. This is neat, I get her active desktop in a window and I can keep it minimized. But still there are unappropriate errr....inappropriate things on the internet that just pop up! Parents need to be extremely cautious -that is the only solution in my humble opinion.RPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06442332044493062128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-1147268135194245812006-05-10T07:35:00.000-06:002006-05-10T07:35:00.000-06:00Manisha, I too agree with L2V.

I learn a lot from her. She's of a cheerful disposition but is a stickler for rules. What the boy(s) did was wrong, wrong and wrong! No-one has owned up yet and while they are allowed to use the computers, they cannot go onto the Internet.<BR/><BR/>Google claim they read the feedback they get. But there is no doubt that they probably get thousands of reports from whiny SEOs about their site not being in the top 10, so I wonder if my complaint will see the light of the cathode ray (or LCD) :D In general, they do not respond to feedback so I am definitely not holding my breath on that one!

Even though, I do not have any, I shudder just thinking about the daunting task that may lie ahead. <BR/><BR/>Also, one word about google, I was listening to/reading an(do not remember) interview and I remember it saying that google folks do read the comments. May be not right away but at some point. So, you may get a response from them. Do update me on what they say!Luv2cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06461051112373008830noreply@blogger.com
