Can we just take a second to marvel at the magical transformation of puberty that was Matthew Lewis?

The cuts in the corners of your mouth could be due to to all the laughing we do while eating yogurt.

Some of my students present themselves to the world in this way. It's an ingrained part of their culture, home life and societal experiences. In no way are my kids (who speak and act "hood") any lazier/hardworking, smarter/dumber, sneaky/truthful or any other adjective than my "good" kids who present in a…

You're absolutely explaining this badly. Mostly because this is not "a victory for gay rights". This should be a celebration of equality and triumph over antiquated, bigoted ideals. You say "steals focus," but why should the focus be on anyone at all? Isn't that the whole point?

Congratulations Idaho. You may be the 43rd state but you're, well, let's say 17th in our hearts.

Also, this information is a good source for vacation planning. I'd rather spend my money in a place that supports its LGBT citizens.

I like to think I'd loudly say something along the lines of "put your penis back in your pants right now! Put it away NOW. I haven't had to say that to anyone since my youngest turned 4, I certainly didn't expect to have to say it to a grown man on an airplane. Now, go wash your hands."

WHO ALL SEEN DA LEPRECHAUN SAY YEEEEEEEEEEAH!!

First thing I thought.

We should also throw in Atlas Shrugged so that she learns that libraries (and public schools) are for parasites.

Men read self help books too. Like this classic:

Seriously... You're allowed to have preferences... You're not allowed to make demands.

Dear boys,

I'm completely in favour of looking at the effects of things like agricultural subsidies. And long working hours/few vacations and so on on people's health. Everyone should endeavour to eat healthily and have a non-sedentary lifestyle and when they try but cannot manage it then we as a society should try to help…

I am unashamed to say that I love the song and I still listen to it.

Ann? Really? Her?

Very true. They are excellent performers and have released some really good albums of late. Sad that they are known for the teeny-bopper stuff. One hit song shouldn't define a band, but it does.

What tax money? Chicago spends something like $8k per pupil, versus the $19k in Evanston public school district (I don't have exact numbers on me, but it's at least 2x, maybe even close to 3x). So maybe CPS is a "monumental failure" due to the lack of resources (as I said in my previous post) like TEXTBOOKS that other…

The only way to get ANY teachers into a "failing" (read: poor) system is to pay them highly, in most cases. There are piles and piles of applications to lower-paying suburban jobs, because those jobs don't make you want to adopt all of your students to give them a loving home (or, more realistically, cry yourself to…

There's a huge distinction between "playing the race card" and "calling out blatant racism."
