Totally agree about the narcissism. I don't think social media, Facebook in particular, is inherently bad. On the other hand, I think a lot of people misuse it and we're downplaying how much of an issue it is that a 20-something year old needs such constant validation that they post a never ending stream of…

Came to say not just congratulations, but also that I am a died in the wool New Englander who loves NJ. I've lived my whole life in NH, but my boyfriend, and my best friend, and on top of that both my parents, are all from NJ. I have extremely good luck with people from that state :). And the Jersey Shore, contrary…
I read a Time For Kids article on Malala with my fourth graders last week, so the recent "buzz" surrounding her is timely. I showed an ABC news clip about her to the kids today, and they were really moved by it. So much that adults can learn from children. I think back to when I was sixteen, full of fervor and…
Never mind their Republican niece :/.
haha nah, just NH :). I get very melodramatic about the winter.
If you think people are obligated to cover their cost, you should be posting your invitations on Ticketmaster, not inviting friends and family.
Oh, I tried to downplay a date once. Was so-so going into it but open to get to know him more, but nevertheless dressed rather blandly/conservatively. Really started to not feel it about 20 minutes in, so I kept it casual - certainly nothing flirtatious, no good-bye hug, "I'd like to see you again," or anything. As…
Personally I'm dying to read the article. RS is good at investigative reporting and their articles on such tend to be comprehensive and well written (I find the cover distasteful rather than edgy, but there's no such thing as bad publicity). I also have a perverse fascination with the Tsarnaevs, and this is coming…
To tell you the truth I'm kinda digging on some of her clothes. The shirts more so than the skirts of course. But they're cute in a wear-to-work way. Wouldn't buy them though, because I don't want my money going to her lol. I also find the weekly glamour shots of herself somewhat suspect...I don't find it very…
To this day, I still have my "We Love Teresa" sign, which I strutted around with in '04. She's a very cool lady and deserves the best.
I don't have anything particularly important to add except to say that @thisIsausername was probably dropped off at an organized before-school program. I'm not assuming every school district in the country has these, but they're quite common and generally free or very low cost, to accommodate parents who need to be…
Are you being sarcastic? Because *by no means* do inner city people run their own schools. The inner city school district I teach in is in state receivership, run by a state appointed overseer. States don't trust "inner city people" to run anything, and the people in charge of curriculum and instruction are…
I am a 4th grade teacher in MA. Cursive is not part of the elementary curriculum. I can't speak for wealthy suburbs, but generally speaking, nope.
