What did I do wrong?
I do not know what I did wrong. I was reading and commenting on stories this morning, and now I signed in again and was going to comment, and there was a note saying 'you are unable to comment on this post due to a violation of the guidelines. Now, I admit I mentioned my new employment site, but the person wanted to know why I haven't been on Vocal for a while. I only did that maybe two times. So, it looks like I will not be a commentor for a while. Still able to read and write.

The Courtroom
The judge has arrived. All may be seated. Will the defendants please rise. They rose from their chairs. This was a very long case during this long hot and humid summer. We were all tired, but we wanted to make sure that justice was brought for the victims of one heinous crime presented.

The Little Cabin/house
The person came out of the little cabin with the book in hand. Went over to the big rocks, and looked really closely at them. Noticed that indeed they were tombstones. Looked at the book and at the stones, and the names in the book matched the ones on these stones. Rest easy.

The Classroom
What can one learn in a classroom? We all learn our letters and numbers and a many other skills as well. One needs to look beyond the basics. Classrooms, as this one can teach many things like how to get along with others in the community, but will it be rote or not?
