It was a long time ago).<br />Anyway (and I may get some details wrong), a family's home was leveled and everything was on fire. A mother, who was desperately wounded, tried to free her daughter from wreckage but was unable to do so. She saw fire rapidly approaching what was left of the house. She realized she would not be able to free her screaming daughter and told her (I'm paraphrasing) that she'd be unable to save her. So, she left, deciding to save herself. She may have later died (once again, can't specifically remember). NO JUDGING here, but dear Lord, can you imagine the horror of THAT Sophie's Choice?Al Penwasserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052950809151897315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-84500853763547597432021-10-17T08:30:37.706-07:002021-10-17T08:30:37.706-07:00They might remember a lot about this discussion, m...They might remember a lot about this discussion, maybe not now, but one day.Frédérique - Quilting Patchwork Appliquéhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15307507105646376697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-26627535349742479922021-10-17T02:31:49.313-07:002021-10-17T02:31:49.313-07:00You were doing what all good teachers do - making ...You were doing what all good teachers do - making the children think and to question.

If the building was on the verge of collapse, and we (I) couldn't safely get in and out, then maybe not, but I'd feel awful not to have done it, enemy or no.<br /><br />My husband actually had to face a similar choice once, when he came upon his high school bully unconscious from a motorcycle wreck. He didn't have to risk his life to save him, so it wasn't exactly the same, but even so, he did what he could for this "person he didn't like".Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06870283055927616591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-16574767581735737202021-10-15T17:46:18.421-07:002021-10-15T17:46:18.421-07:00I wonder how much they learn from subs they retain...I wonder how much they learn from subs they retain.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-85473646493145019572021-10-15T17:45:58.456-07:002021-10-15T17:45:58.456-07:00Just got to the weekend, so we'll see how it g...Just got to the weekend, so we'll see how it goes.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-79204868306399034262021-10-15T17:45:23.349-07:002021-10-15T17:45:23.349-07:00I just followed the lesson plan.
