Lurk to Participate Ratio
Posted by: orangcrate (IP Logged)
Date: June 06, 2009 02:52PM Ok, now I'm not known for my mathematical skills. Just ask Mrs. Walker... (Taney, 7th grade).
Looks like there are 184 posts compared to 6131 peeks. Isn't that about a 34:1 ratio? Where's Jon Mann? Where's Mike Price? What's that I heard about a Joey McHan siting? And Denise.... you've been silent for too long! Re: Lurk to Participate Ratio

Date: June 07, 2009 02:13AM As Mrs. Walker would say, "I'll slap them jaws if you don't stop talkin' son!" Ha ha...Oh Billy - I can still see her yelling at you! Of course I got plenty of her good old Southern discipline myself. Now to your post: I agree! Maybe everyone has gone to OC for the summer. What we need is a new, exciting subject to get folks to start posting. The ratio appears disproportionately weighted toward the "peekers" not the "posters" because many folks don't want to take the few minutes to actually register and get permission to start posting. Anyone can actually view the posts without registering......they just can't add their two cents to the mix. But that's something that we'll have to live with to avoid the spammers we used to get. I'll try to think of something good to start a new thread. Hugs to ya Billy - KathyMac Re: Lurk to Participate Ratio

Date: August 13, 2009 04:35PM I'm in...my second time though...Mrs Walker...wow..I sat next to Sandy Campbell..and she'd yell at the two of us in her Southern drawl to put our book down--we propped them up..that sure irritated her...hadn't thought of her in a while...Did anyone have Mrs Bagshaw from a Carolina state? She really had a Southern drawl. Re: Lurk to Participate Ratio

Date: August 14, 2009 12:49AM Mrs. Bagshaw sounds very familiar to me. I can hear that southern drawl that you refer to. I also had Mrs. Walker. She wasn't my biggest fan....to say the least! She was constantly yelling at me and calling me impudent. Re: Lurk to Participate Ratio

Date: August 14, 2009 06:46AM Hey Debbie,
Nice to have a newbie on the board. I had Mrs. Bagshaw for 9th grade civics. She was one of the best teachers I ever had. I loved her and that drawl of hers. After 9th grade she moved to California. Her husband was in the military. I was out there that summer and spent the day on the beach with her and her husband. Hadn't thought about that for a long time. Sand7 Re: Lurk to Participate Ratio

Date: August 14, 2009 10:46PM Really Sandy?? I never knew that! I don't think you ever told me that story. Weren't you the teachers' pet! Re: Lurk to Participate Ratio

Date: August 18, 2009 02:03PM I had Mrs Walker and Mrs Bagshaw. Hmmmm that doesn't sound right! Mrs Walker about slapped the taste out of my mouth when I didn't "Mind out, young man" I never really knew what mind out meant. I did learn not to yak in her class! Re: Lurk to Participate Ratio

Date: August 19, 2009 03:37AM You probably had Mrs. Walker in 7th or 8th. Did you ever get your taste buds back!! I never heard that expression, but must remember to use it. As for mind out, I guess that meant mind your manners. Or maybe she got mixed up with that and peace out!!
Miss you. Sandy Re: Lurk to Participate Ratio

Date: August 19, 2009 05:59AM What I remember most about Mrs. Walker was her severe southern accent. It was so heavy that I couldn't understand half of what she said during class. I took note of this on one particular day when she returned our quiz results to us and asked, "Why don't you children understand this material?" Apparently most of us had failed or were close to the dreaded "F". Like a stupid kid that I was, I raised my hand, stood up and explained to her that if she spoke more clearly maybe we would understand our Math lessons better and consequently get better grades on our quizes and tests!! YIKES! Not a good thing to say....no, not at all.....she was not "down with it" so to speak and berated me in front of the class; screaming at the top of her lungs that I was an impudent (sp?) smart mouth that should have her "jaws slapped silly"!! I really didn't have a good sense of diplomacy when I was in 8th grade. Oh well.....guess I must have passed because I didn't repeat 8th grade math. Re: Lurk to Participate Ratio
