I've worked with a lot of 7-year-olds who are big fans

It depends on the state.

Unless the school is an incredibly fancy private school (and even then, it depends) public schools pay their teachers better and therefore attract more highly-qualified teachers. I'm guessing the parents mentioned in this article aren't sending their kids to private school for the teachers, though.

Naw, that’s fine. I only know because I’m a huge Colbert fan.

I've heard that CBS offered it to Colbert without consulting Letterman at all.

As a Northern Californian, I had no idea that there were bears in Southern California 😮

Oh, also his oldest daughter is 26.

You’re getting a lot of pushback in the comments but I agree with you. It certainly is curious that almost all relationships with age gaps involve older men and younger women. If people don’t think that’s a reflection of creepy patriarchal values in our society, I think they’re in denial.

Aren’t these girls like 25 now? Why are they still “teen moms” ? (and why is anyone still watching?)

Lots of international pop groups have English names ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The band sings exclusively in Danish, which both exhibits a sweet sense of locality—a homegrown band for its home country fans—and also seems like an unsavvy business decision, considering Denmark is the only country in which a majority of inhabitants speak Danish.

Unless the other sister was freaking out because she knew her sister was trying to crash the car...

She was pregnant & gave birth twice during the run of HIMYM. She’s possibly lost some weight (or gained, idk) since the show ended, making her face look different.

However, the only reason women aren’t also conscripted is because South Korea still adheres to fairly conservative gender roles.…

I agree. They can be ok for kinders & some first graders who are just excited to read a book by themselves, but they’re terrible for older kids who are reading below grade level.

When I was doing literacy tutoring with a 3rd grader we read all the Frog & Toad books. Most easy readers are just awful, but Frog & Toad books are lovely.

More male teachers than female teachers are prosecuted for sexual abuse (according to this article, 2/3 of the cases in 2014 involved male teachers). Given that women are the majority of teachers, the numbers say that male teachers are much more likely to sexually abuse students. We just don’t hear about it in the…

In general though?

In that situation does the father or husband have custody? Ugh.....

Can we change the law so only people 18+ can get married? There is no reason for a minor to enter into a marriage. Even if they’re 17 and want to do it, they can wait a few months.
