My mom’s a high school English teacher at an extremely mismanaged school in an extremely shitty town - where like, you either graduate and work at Walmart or go to college on a football scholarship. Their football field is gigantic and state of the art.

“In some ways, it’s the smart thing to do all around. Being a six year old in kindergarten means feeling really successful in just about everything you do, including math and reading.”

Athletics, which used to be something lower income people could excel at, has become yet another upper class stronghold. Like, instead of excelling at sports in high school and getting a college scholarship, you have to have been playing since you were a toddler. And the younger (rich) people start their kids, the…

The misconception that young athletes can just walk it off is brutally persistent in this country’s sports programs; the idea the kids “bounce,” that they heal in no time, etc. Yes, a child probably can recover more quickly than a forty year old from strained muscles and bruises, but damage done young doesn’t…

Yeah, holding kids back for that reason is a privilege of upper middle class people. Poor and lower income people have to get their kids in school ASAP so the mom/caregiver parent can get back to work (if they haven’t already) and so they don’t have to pay exorbitant daycare fees for yet another year.

GMG is not a small site so they can easily afford at least a small core team.

I would have assumed that because giz ate and shat out io9, that the io9 peeps would have been in the black and not grey, but I’m not surprised. Io9 was always hard to get into to begin with, and giz is full of so much trash that I doubt any writers dare venture into the comments.

we are the mod team.

Okay, so it’s a little humid.

Seriously people if someone responds to you:

If it’s going to be after Barack you have to include his middle name because, come on.

I think there’s a distinction between some of these monuments with those of Confederate heroes and one worth clarifying and discussing.

This is bad bad bad terrible advice.

This is written by someone who has never had to deal with Trust matters or anything more than basic loans. It’s not surprising people who don’t deal with the numbers think Sheets is even comparable. I use sheets to do my own budgeting, but anything more complex require Excel.

This is terrible advice.
