Heart-wrenching...
Thinking of human mothers having hard time to do (or have rights) breast feeding (both in the public and private sectors), the cow mothers have to endure the agony of losing their Sons (at least one of the calves, in this case) to be VEAL, in order to save her milk to feed adult human babies and nurse small human babies....

Sun Lasting Fortunately and unfortunately, my mother breast fed her 10 children (formula, at that time, belonged to the top 1% women). Never bothered mother cows, nor deprived any boy calf's nursing right (one of the rare sex, perhaps, gender discriminations against male).
Then, I don't have human children.
All my feline majesties, though none of them is vegan/vegetarian, they don't eat beef/veal, not because l cannot afford.

One of many reasons I respect cattle, in particular, cows, is because they are vegans, so as sheep/goats/rams, horses, and the rest of herbivores - yes, from my humble bias which irritates the meat production industry, particularly, the slaughtering house, and the carnivores terribly.

It is really hard to imagine the excruciating pains of a mother seeing her baby son(s) sent to be slaughtered for the human high-end, unnecessary consumption!

It can be similar to a human mother seeing off her child to the battlefield...consumed by the warmongers (Watch out! The ring of fire was lit and started spreading through the area of Jerusalum...)

Why, enjoy the mother's suffering!

Marcie Bakker Hello, Professor. Please also give my kind regards to Kathy M.

Crystal Huang My dear colleague Marcie, sure. Have a nice afternoon !

Crystal Huang Why Students' club event is such an extremely exciting phenomenon- almost, "miracle"? Why? Because we turn "adversity into joy"; we have magic wands to convert frugality into abundance !!! BUT HOW? (I need to reserve these stories for another time. Stay tuned :)!).

Students' Clubs, in fact, might not be the luxurious items for the typical 4-year universities !!! But at -2-year Technical Colleges, the stories can be quite interesting and fascinating identified when I left a 4-year to experience and explore such a 2-year environment.

Just imagine, most of our students having multiple jobs, taking many courses (some with double, triple majors), some, being parents (I did have some grandparent students before), engaging in many life events with all sorts human conditions (some are dramatic, while others traumatic, going on and on...), commuting to school (we don't have dormitories, nor auditorium. No student centers, no sport fields - surely, no locker rooms for body-buddy, heart-n-soul interactions of the baseball, football, basketball, soccer, track-n-fields teams. Ya, swimming teams, indoor-pool and gyms, not a bad idea... who doesn't like them, not to mention hockey ring or cheer-leader teams.... Of course, no such things as magnificent college imagery with old handsome trees hugging the gorgeous campus dotted with endless yards and four-season gardens.... (Don't get me wrong, you should not be misled into the jail or prison scenes. Not that kind of things..... :)! ) My campus, in fact, looks cute and lovely- I enjoy walking around her.

Give you a vivid description: the size of a track-n-field plus one of the dormitories of our neighboring university is almost bigger than our main campus.

These general items and scenes mentioned above, don't we all know very well - comprising the basic quality to the so- called: "College" ?

Meanwhile, faculty members are teaching 18 to 21 credits (average 7 classes per semester, 14 classes or 42 credits per academic year). My current cute office is shared by 8 colleagues. My neighboring one, a little bit bigger than our office was newly remodeled to suppose to "contains" 20 faculty and staff (we are all very close to the heart of our beloved earth - in the deep basement). To make it concrete: I sweetly recalled when I was a TA as an art student, my own grad office is almost the same size of my current one which is shared by 8 instructors in a cute open space (every faculty can see what other colleagues are typing on the screen!!! - no need to bother Big Brother!) Then, me, as a loud person (a school-redneck??), talking/chatting in my office is almost equivalent to commit a crime or disturb the social order. I do learn to refrain myself, and wish that my accent were as cute or beautiful as a canary ( my last name is Huang, means yellow), so no one is tortured in my presence. These tiny descriptions or daily anecdotes could be just a tip of the hardware iceberg. For the software part of stories, again, saved for another time. Stay tuned.

My dear taxpaying friends (including myself), aren't these students and instructors truly the money-saving machines :D!? I was just luckily enough to have time to capture today's exciting Club Fair!!!

This is the most cheapest as well as extremely expensive edu-mechanism existing in the PK-16 system. Shouldn't the current Powerful Politicians and their symbiotic "Proteges or Liaisons" handle the less fortunate students and educators with a little bit of consciousness or conscientiousness when a silenced campus  is deemed as a great success of educational accountability?

昶昶 Why and when is this dreadful word - "union" becoming so scaaaary - in Wisconsin ? - I mean, for blue-collar  and some white-collar workers.  The Teachers' Union Scholarship had to put on the new Emperor's clothes "integrated into"  the welcomed tag of CVTC Foundation Scholarship...  More interestingly speaking, the union membership has been shrinking drastically after ACT 10 - from more than 160 members to now, 20ish....  Who are these 20ish?  Daredevils? (I am one of these demons...).

Indeed, the $900 dollars' annual fee can buy more food, or do more fun things when the paycheck is getting smaller and smaller; the class size is turning into bigger and bigger; the teaching loads are heavier and heavier; the stress and anxiety of being laid off is getting overwhelming; silence is pure golden; the working conditions are running low of the morale; suspicion/mistrust between/among instructors, staff, and administrators are all time high, and over-powering micromanaging without check-n-balance is on the rise. Thank to our Very Ambitious governor aiming at Presidency who spring-boards on Wisconsin well.

Don't get me wrong that I am a blind Union supporter. I do like to see how deadwood is "properly purged" to get rid of the irresponsible notion of job security in protecting the incompetent, for the taxpayers' sake, and I also witness the power-inflation to certain segments of the educational system under the governor's abetting wings with intended and unintended toxic consequences.

Now, it is no more a secret: the best part of losing a Union is that those anti-union/scabs protected by the Union members for so long,  now are the first group to enjoy the flavor of the de-unionized taste. Those free-loading privileges, entitlements, and benefits which were bargained, fought, and earned by the Union members and officers are taken away one by one from both members and non-members.

QC is an important idea and practice to manufacturing and producing businesses. Industrial quality control enhances productivity and increases profit. Some business models were invented and applied to the educational setting. It is interesting to see in the edu-enterprises, and ask: do the for-profit edu-businesses produce higher quality of learning outcomes compared those which are non-profit? Can human learners be treated ( trained or educated?)  like running on  Ford-Taylor's efficient assembly line?

The truly professional and competent educators with integrity, ethics, and moral high-ground, no matter what conditions, deeply believing in the important functions of Union in a democratic-capitalistic society are respectful. They once in a while, witness the unprofessional people parasitically spoiled by the Union (both members and non-members), and ambivalently see them go.

The existence of the white collar union manifests an important function to support and inspire the blue collar unions. Workers, unify, you lose nothing, unless, your courage and integrity.

昶昶 Meanwhile, what happened to Baltimore, still, the bell, ringing !
President Lincoln did say "another kind of union" a lot. He was not afraid or scared:
"Fellow-citizens, we cannot escape history. We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation. We say we are for the Union. The world will not forget that we say this. We know how to save the Union. The world knows we do know how to save it. We -- even we here -- hold the power, and bear the responsibility. In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free -- honorable alike in what we give, and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth. Other means may succeed; this could not fail. The way is plain, peaceful, generous, just -- a way which, if followed, the world will forever applaud, and God must forever bless..."
