In general the idea of going away to school is far less entrenched out here than in the rest of the country. The California Master Plan for Higher Education emphasizes students living at home and attending community college for the first two years of college, and only then transferring to a Cal State or a UC. The Cal…

Horace Mann is a private day school in Riverdale, in the Bronx, NY that used to be all-boys’; the decades of unchecked sexual abuse of students by teachers there came out a while back and got a lot of publicity here in New York. Nothing to do with any insurance company of the same name!

I would absolutely say that my education was incredible, and there were many, many amazing faculty members. It’s the main thing my school had going for it, and I’m truly grateful to the good ones.

I did too, in New England, Choate was one of our rivals. In my day Choate was famous for a massive cocaine scandal.

Is there a number between zero and another zero? Then that’s the chance Ivanka will speak up.

my older sister and I went through the same public school system in Massachusetts. One of her teachers dated a student who lived with him for about a year and a half. When I had him several years later as a senior for an AP level class, my sister made sure to warn me about him. He ALWAYS hit on girls in my class, on a…

But...there are boarding schools on the West Coast, too.

Went to boarding school, and sadly none of this crap (that it happened, that it went unreported) surprises me :(

The culture in many of these places is a toxic stew of money, unbridled privilege, miserable families, and crusty white male…

I prefer the term Champ Stamp, thankyouverymuch.

I thought his first name was Saturday.

I really want to sit younger women in this situation like Selena down and say, “Believe him when he tells you who he is. Don’t make him better. Because he’s not, and he’s telling you the truth.”

It takes time for that lesson to sink in sometimes.

Selena, save yourself. (Why is Do Not Date The Weeknd not one of the recommended stories for this?)

Shirley has a weird cross of looking like “You dumbass” and wanting to crawl under her chair. It’s amazing.

The look on his sister’s face says it all for me. A nice mix of, “You poor, dumb bastard of a fool.”

Beatty was put in a terrible position and I feel bad for him, but he passed the buck and put Dunaway in an even more terrible position.

Good review. A lot of folks complain that it slows down the game, but you gotta take the time and make the right call.

Sigh...of course it was Chick-Fil-A.

These kids suck but what really freaks me out is the little kids.

“63rd black American woman to ever earn a PhD in physics”

:\
I can guarantee you there are more than 63 freaking African Americans who are capable of earning this if they had the money, social encouragement, and drive.
