That comment right there tells me that you know NOTHING of Common Core. I don’t have a chip on my shoulder, I just deal with the repercussions of this every day. You should really educate yourself, though. You honestly do have good intentions and ideas. I would bet my life that the more you researched about what is…

As an elementary school teacher, I have always been convinced that GoGurt packaging was designed by a man. The packaging is AWFUL; it’s pretty much impossible to open them without it squirting everywhere. The kids can’t do it themselves. Now, I have finally realized: it must have been designed by a WOMAN...perfect to…

First of all, don’t say bless your heart to me, because I’m trying VERY hard not to respond to that in a New York fashion. I am not southern, but I damn well know what that means. I spent nearly 2 hours in one way traffic on the way home to return to a broken radiator, 93 degrees and 70% humidity on my thermostat.…

I am a teacher. I have four teaching certifications, two masters degrees, and am very passionate about the exact subject you are posting about. I deal with it on a daily basis, and have researched it extensively. I agree with you when it comes to local schools refusing to teach sex ed, however, that is a very small…

The girl is 19, which means that she was just in high school and likely had an IEP. IQ tests and other evaluations are par for the course when it comes to special ed.

Teachers are mandated reporters. As a teacher, I would never report a parent for being unable to help a child with their homework (now with Common Core this happens in math all the time! Haha ;) ). I sincerely think that there is more to this story than you might be privy to.

An intellectual disabiliy is different than a physical disability such as blindness, though.

Your heart is in the right place, but you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.

Isn’t cleaning that an absolute bitch, though? I think of that whenever I watch Home Alone.

It doesn’t *require* laser focus, but I actually enjoy giving head and prefer to pay attention to what I’m doing. I also prefer to pay attention to myself when receiving. During 69, it’s like I don’t know what to pay attention to. I can’t focus on either act enough to enjoy either one.

I’m 5'2" here, I prefer men over 5'10", and I can’t stand doing it. It just doesn’t work. And I like to concentrate on giving blowjobs fully, as well as receving fully, too. So many better things to do.

No, she didn’t indicate that. However, we were trying to do what we truly thought was best. I don’t want to say too much, but we had to deliberate on a case, and our decision was all over the media because it was apparently a first. A lot of us struggled with the case, too, and the entire situation left a rather…

Kind of like how you testified before a Grand Jury once and a close friend of the family is a non-practicing attorney? The ADAs never told us that voting anything besides true bill or no true bill was even an option.

I find this funny, if only because I did a college program (over a decade ago) at Disney World and worked in Guest Relations, which also does the VIP tours for celebrities. As a result...lots of stories, lots of things seen, even if I wasn’t taking the tour. John Travolta used to come into the park with his wife on…

The Flint River is causing the problem because the water is corrosive and wasn’t treated properly. Had the water been treated, the pipes likely would not have been a problem.

I just sat on a grand jury for a month this past fall. The grand jury votes “true bill” or “no true bill”, however, they MAY take no action. We did it in one of our cases, and the only reason we did was because my boyfriend and half my friends are lawyers, and us jurors were screaming at each other during…

Technically, yes. I was just on grand jury for a month this fall. We’re not supposed to discuss anything.

Thanks :) I’ve lurked a little.

GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME!
