I think that's more meant with regards to the fit than the shape. Pleated front pants, pants that narrow at the ankle (instead of straight-leg), both of which are found in low-end men's clothing, are pretty universally unflattering, where as straight or mostly straight trouser legs are much better for almost all…

I think the objection is in the fact that there seems to be a certain amount of infamy that comes along with being this kind of criminal. We worship (not positively usually) celebrity terrorists by being terrorized by them, featuring them on the covers of magazines, knowing their names but not those of their victims.…
Absolutely makes sense! Thanks for taking the time to share, this is a side of the debate I'd honestly never considered much (despite, you know, going to school to be a teacher...oops).
(The following is meant with complete sincerity, which I know can be hard to sense on the internet.) If you've got a source or a link I'd love to see it. More of what I've read focuses on graduation rates and enrollment than admissions, so I would appreciate a change to better educate myself.
With all the "15 weeks" that popped up, I went and looked at a calendar. Did you all celebrate April Fool's with sexy times? If so, WOOOOO.
With one exception, you are correct: There are currently more women enrolled than men in institutions of higher education. Doesn't knock out the hundreds of years that was not the case, or all your other points by any stretch of the imagination, but it is worth noting.
Thank you.
I said there is a reaction against foreign people, not that there is widespread xenophobia. There is certainly distrust, and if you go back a few decades even more than that (given, you know, the Korean War), but realistically there is no more racism there than in America. My chief objection is that you went off on…
Part of the reason that there is (sometimes) a reaction against foreign people in Korea (which many people in my family HAVE lived in as white men, unlike you) is because Korea is the Poland of Asia: any time someone wants to go to war, it's one of the first places that gets invaded and completely fucked over. China…
I will say....we talk about racism a lot more, but look at a lot of other places and it's there. Sweden had riots in May because cops killed an immigrant (excessive force), a politician in Italy called the first black (also female) cabinet minister an "orangutan" (learned about that on this very site), there are news…
I'm pretty sure my rescue dog was with cats before I got him (lots of self-grooming, he likes perching on windowsills, plays with his rawhides like cats do with catnip toys) but my favorite thing he does is try to purr. If you get the right spot on his chest he'll close his eyes and do this sort of wheezing rattle…
I've been struggling with this all day. Zimmerman shot an unarmed child, but under the 'Stand Your Ground' law in Florida (as I understand it) it would have been impossible for anyone to find him guilty unless they could prove that he was not afraid. Now, they could prove he was an asshole that shot a kid. Prove…
Internet hugs for us!!!
Ok so it's probably because I'm hormonal and still overwhelmed with the awesomeness of Pacific Rim (aaahhhhhh!!!!! Idris Elba butt!!!) but this made me cry a little bit. Thank you for understanding. Thank you for caring, and for recognizing there's no easy fix.
Well, it's also the fact that a TfA teacher gets normal teacher salary + ~$10k for all their training and mentoring...why not juts use that $10k to re-recruit people that had four+ years of classroom management and education training (instead of four weeks)?
It's the pay and the tenure system, honestly. If you can find anything about how Finland runs their public schooling, it's pretty fascinating.
It was sort of...deflating. Like, I spent five months with these kids, my professors who did my assessments were all super pleased with me, and even my cooperating teacher said I had it covered like three days in and I never saw him again. But it made me so angry to know that all the kids needed was a little push,…
Hamilton is legitimately one of the weirdest places I've ever been. I was a student teacher at Hamilton Freshman High School for six months and it was bizarre. I had 14 year olds coming in smelling like menthols, on my first day my cooperating teacher pointed out all the crack babies so I could avoid calling on…
