That not silly. I knew a number of people who used to live there.

Haha, I grew up in Indiana and live in Vermont. I certainly understand your homesickness, because Vermont is very different from Indiana. Are you close enough to Brown County or Floyd’s Knobs to visit there? Hilly and lots of trees, with quite a few hiking trails

keep your cats indoors

Silly as it seems I would like someday to go up to the old Earth Peoples Park and look around for junk old bus parts or whatever artifacts can be found.

Nah man, i think religious folks are otherwise intelligent people who have fallen victim to a delusional scam. I'm not sure where you got your idea's of what i think from but i cant see it from the convo here.

We need a public option for high school that provides busing. My problem with SJA is that its a private not a public school.

So i will start out by saying i went to SJA. I didnt really do well there in whatever kind of environment they are trying to cultivate there. Then i had a kid years later go there and it was just as bad of an experience. Everything from the expense of transporting her ( a couple thousand more a year in fuel costs ) to changing my schedule around to shift work so i could pick her up and drop her off.

SJA didnt offer me or mine much that wasnt more expense and trouble than it was worth, i loathe that my property taxes are going to a non public school.

How weird could it b-oh what the fuck

That post history is breaking my head

To create discourse who knows..sometimes I think the interwebs just does random generated crap.

Came here to say this, went to the Academy as well and there wasn't an ounce of religious anything. There are so many diverse students there as well, you get a ton of different insights into cultures.

Hell I had swordfish at lunch one day from the international line. As a high schooler in the NEK.

I looked, holy craps. It was very entertaining though. Wtf would be the purpose of this/these accounts?

Do you have an uncle, check out their profile?

> one of those boot lickers

Also a sea lion

It's not too late.

Just here to say I’m friends with his kid. Never met him tho.

As someone who grew up in KY and now lives in VT, I sincerely hope that you can find your way back.

You must be a bot. Your post history is insane

Which kinda confirms what I've wondered about some posts like this.

I feel this too. I’d love to go back eventually, but it would be hard financially, finding housing etc. I think.

It’s a special place in many ways. Whereabouts did you live here before?

What is it that you miss?

Fellow SJA alumn and lifelong atheist. No one ever shoved the bible down our throats, or the Quran, or the Torah, or the Communist Manifesto for that matter. The faculty made it a point to welcome and encourage the sharing of diverse religious and nonreligious worldviews, often using the daily morning gathering (AKA "Chapel") as the forum for it. We had a kid lead us all in a Buddhist meditation for 15 minutes one morning, a good friend of mine gave a talk on Paganism and Wicca at another. Other times, it was literally just going over sports results, the schedule for the day, advertising for upcoming club, educational, or extracurricular events.

I agree, and I went to one of these institutions by virtue of living in a town that had school choice. They never (and I say this as a lifelong devoted atheist) EVER shoved "religious indoctrination" down our throats in any way. In fact, at graduation they had a baccalaureate ceremony where students representing all faiths were welcome to speak. My year we had a Buddhist, a Jew, a Christian, a Wiccan, and an Atheist speak, among one or two others who I can't remember. The quality of education was far above and beyond what I could have received at any other fully public or union high school.

Bootlickers? Do elaborate on how you came to that assessment in your oh so eloquent and informative reply to my comment.
