Rules can sometimes lean toward the “lady-like” (uniform code, for one- my high school forbids the wearing of pants). If it has a religious affiliation, that can be problematic for some.

Agreed. All girls high school attendees tend to become and stay involved in student leadership, extracurriculars, STEM clubs, etc. When there are no boys as competitors, distractions, or critics, girls are better off.

Here are a few issues about private schools to consider. It might not be the case for the schools in your area.

I read this earlier and cried. We need fucking universal health care in this country. Greatest country in the world my ass. I legitimately want to move to Canada no matter who wins this election.

Fifty years together.

Thank you for your service.

I remember hearing stories, from various service people, about people “falling” overboard on ships or carriers, rape in barracks or elsewhere, “fragging”, etc.

As one of those people who never considered herself the “military type” and spent damn near a decade trying to navigate through the raw sewage that is the Army’s patriarchal hierarchy of clusterfuck, it is not sustainable. It takes a toll. I’m sure you know.

Well done, staff of Dominos. Just goes to show ya, there are actually a lot of decent people in the world, even if it might seem otherwise sometimes.

But for viewers who aren’t yet at the parenting stage, the inundation with negative stories about that next step is frustrating and depressing. Watching them, it’s easy to wonder why anyone would procreate at all.
