I should’ve prefaced that with good faith replies only. It should go without saying that a strange person invading your workspace and refusing requests to leave like that reads as a threat. Please don’t bother trying to rationalize his actions or demonize hers.

That “tax write-off” is capped at $250. Teachers are totally living the high life on that. /s https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc458

I saw it on bumper stickers years ago. 

I don’t care at all about baseball, but (1) it’s sad that Big Papi is getting a divorce, and yet (2) it is my sincerest wish to see Kenan Thompson play newly-single Big Papi on SNL.

This “competition” should be made mandatory for all politicians wanting to obtain their campaign money, with the addition of it being in a big vat of manure. And for the states of Texas and South Dakota, the manure should be on fire.

I’m not going to debate the interpretation of the law, or the size of the crowds or police presence, but give me a f@$#ing break ... this guy was *strolling* around the pitch and NO ONE took it upon themselves to get him off? Police would be great, but what about stadium personnel? Stewards? Club personnel? I’m a…

First of all, this article didn’t use the world negligence.

But people not realizing that the women’s league may not be covered by a 30-year old security law is hardly evidence of negligence. It simply hasn’t come up before.

Sweet body check, but I agree it should not have been necessary for the player to do that herself.

Way too many people here think just like him/her.

worked in an underserved K-6 school as a school librarian. The only new books we got all year-for a school with 800 kids and some of the lowest reading scores in the state, were purchased by me. The principal refused to spend the money and even confiscated money I made from the scholastic book fair-which was meant to…

I’m also a huge, huge fan of those “Let’s see if you have a future” contests during some college football halftime shows where they have two eager 18-year-olds chuck footballs through a hole to see who wins tuition.

Humanity was a mistake.

They aren’t “forced to” in the sense that no one is holding a gun to their head.  But it’s definitely the expectation, at least for the teachers I know (also, this article doesn’t say teachers are forced to do anything, so...).  Also, the “tax write-off,” i.e. the deduction from income teachers can take for money they…

Ah yes. You’ve stumbled upon the greatest tax scheme ever. No it’s not large corporations using offshore addresses. It’s actually teachers buying supplies that aren’t in the budget.

the original probably thinks that only the well off should be able to go to school. If you’re poor, you should just work and then die for the upper classes.

No they are not forced to, they do it because they are good people.

I don’t know any teachers who itemize and I know a LOT of teachers.

Even if everything you said were true, you are still asking teachers to spend their personal after tax money in July or August (when they stock up before a school year) and not get money back until April or June after tax returns come back.

Yes to a Jezebel Ravelry crew!
