Quote Memory24: Well I know for me when I was in school during that time we did not have to watch President Reagan's funeral. I didn't even know there was a song.

I went to school in California too. I think it depended on the teachers or schools if the funeral was shown.

I know that sometimes my teacher would videotape historical events and show it to us the next day. But nothing too serious.

But I do remember in elementary school we had to know the president which was Bill Clinton at the time. We wrote him a letter and that was about it.

If there was any one historical figure we focused on a lot it was probably Martin Luther King Jr. not the president at the time.

When Bush was in office most of my teachers had a not so good view of him. Again it came back to the teachers if they wanted to talk about Politics we listened. One of my teachers even showed us a White House correspondents' Dinner with Stephen Colbert.

I know that some people feel that they do not want the teachers or schools talking about the president to the young children. Because they are very impressionable but for me and my experience it was less about what teachers' political views. More about my parents and what their views were. More than likely when I was younger I would adopt my parents views instead of a teacher or another authority figure.

I don't see anything wrong with the song. It's really sad what is going on right now. Why can't everyone work together because both sides want a better country? I hear that people want this and that and our country is going down the tubes. But all of the drama/outbursts are not helping the situation to get things done. It is just creating more division and dissension and again that is not good.




You must be very young- or time is slipping by me even faster than I realized- seems like just yesterday we were lined up watching the procession on its way to the Reagen Library--

And yes we are both very passionate.



Ah thank you wanna-and it is our passion that will keep us going-the bottom line is we both want what is best for our country and the future of all-


Thing is we both know how to seperate politics from personal. My husband is a whole lot like you. Needless to say we do not discuss politics UNLESS I have a zinger to throw at him that I just can't resist. Anyway I think that it is great that Reagans funeral was shown in school. He made a big impact on our country and they should know first hand instead of reading it in a history book. The only thing I have seen that absolutely does not belong in school imo is the bickering and fighting of the parents lately. They are taking something that would have been no big deal to the students and turned it into a battle. There are a lot worse things that kids out there are doing than singing that little song. Maybe the parents should get as involved with other things their kids might be doing such as drugs or who knows what. I wish we where seeing and hearing parents as passionate and vocal about taking down drug dealers as they are our President.

I do remember the funeral but I watched it at home. It happened in the summer of 2004 it was the end of my school year. That may be one of the reasons why we did not watch it.

LOL......you poor woman- your husband would really be giving you hell if he saw this post LOL- I feel for you if he is anything like me- that has to be really hard for you both- at least my husband and I are on the same page politically- I think there are some very scary times ahead for our country- as I have said before I hope my side loses,if it does that can only mean good for our country and that is where my concerns lie- I think most of we Americans feel this way--

You are definitely right Wanna.

I know for me when I entered Junior High. I was in for a shock I was surprised by some of the students behavior. I was eleven at the time and there were kids in my school who did drugs, drank alcohol, and involved in sexual activities. It wasn't just a few it was a high number. These kids thought it was so cool to act like they were adults and they were like thirteen. It was really shocking I could not believe it. I thought this kinda stuff only happened in the movies. If you looked at my junior high you would never think some of the stuff that happened went on there but it did. It is really scary looking back and thinking about all the stuff those kids were doing.

It was a lot of peer pressure to. I remember in PE they would have us take anonymous surveys that asked students if they were doing any of those things.

good lord has it been that long? seems like yesterday-

I have pictures of the procession and the hundreds and hundreds of people who lined the streets on both sides as the hearse drove by on its way from Pt.Mugu to the Library- grips your heart to witness such love and support for him-

You must have gone to middle school? I feel so sorry for our kids today- they have no clue what they are missing-my first experience with drugs in school was when my kids were in Jr.High(7th and 8th) turns out one of he janitors was selling pot to the kids-after that drugs seemed to escalate -they were rampant in our schools- and I can only imagine about the sex- that was back in the late 70's......

Times go by so fast. I really don't remember much I wish I could have went to see President Reagan lying in state. My mom would say that she was going to take me but we never went.

That is amazing you were able to witness history. I probably would have been so choked up. I do remember all the people going to see him lie in state. It really was touching to see.

Oh yeah, it was the most, I don't even know how to describe it, reverent maybe- I don't know -to be part of all these people who came to show their respects-lined up saluting or bowing their heads as the hearse went by- is something I will never forget- there were lots and lots of tears--I feel bad for your mom not being able to go and take you-

Yes I was in middle school. It has really escalated especially with the technological advances. The sad thing is that the kids would just disappear during the years. You would really never know what happened to them. By the time I entered High School things were even worse.

Both my parents were working so I just stayed home and watched everything.

I get emotional just thinking about things like that. Because you know at that time people came together. No matter what Reagan's policies were or which party he belonged to. People just came to show their respect for their former President.

They sure can!! I guess one way we could look at things now is that more people are paying attention to what is happening. Which is good because the more people are aware maybe things can change for the better.
