Between Friends with Bob Ann Breland My cell phone did not ring today, except for a call about medical insurance for seniors. Thankfully, only one. Answering a constantly ringing phone can be very irritating. No mail yesterday and today I walked to the end of the driveway to the mail box and only found a card from a local store offering me some bargains. No stacks of mail from political candidates giving me important info they thought I should know…and reminding me to vote. The electioneering is about over for a spell. Facebook is also very active during election time. Some folks believe everything they read on Facebook! One can put anything on there and some will believe it, even if it’s a lie or very deceptive! Few will stop and look for the truth before they relay it along. It sounds so good it has to be repeated! Also, for the past few days, no awful political ads over and over again on local television stations.

Rich parents want to buy their public-school class an art teacher. Should the school say no?

Parents at a well-resourced public school raise enough money for art teachers and smaller classes. Nearby schools cannot raise comparable amounts, widening differences within the same district.

Can helping your own community become unfair to the larger one?
