“Highly qualified” is a legal term from various federal education regulations. It sounds like you probably already know that. I’m just pointing it out for others who may not.

You are correct. She probably has a degree in early childhood education instead of elementary education and could only be certified in k-3, legally. The problem, it sounds like to me, is that the school assigned her a grade above 3 knowing she wasn’t legally certified to teach anything above 3. So it is really the…

That's freaky as hell and makes me sad too. I hope you have peace and happiness now.

Thick and cozy and $9.99!

Amen sister-friend! My ass is currently covered in Costco leggings, the very best leggings ever made.

A-fucking-men. The most fucking confusing and demoralizing thing for a confused sexual assault survivor is to hear “if you love Jesus then don’t be a whore”.

I am a huge fan of Anne Perry novels and have been for years now. But I only learned of a her past about 5 years ago. It changed the way I read and enjoy her novels. The knowledge makes the reading even darker for me.

What about Jane Eyre? I’m I still allowed to read it every Fall (because it’s a Fall book) but still enjoy my forced gas heat, indoor plumbing, electric kettle, and Internet connection?

You’ve basically just described every person on planet earth. Humans are some crazy fuckers!

Amen! That’s all I ever think about when I hear her company mentioned. I refuse to buy her very special products. They tried to destroy Honest Toddler. And Honest Toddler is fucking hilarious.

I once had a dog that was allergic to wool - and rice and chicken and eggs and mosquitos and garlic and all kinds of other crap. Damn dog. But she was a cute little fucker.

Uh no. That's not even remotely the same thing.

I don’t see that. She looks like a normal lady to me. She was wrong and should have kept her damn mouth shut/moved somewhere else but she doesn’t look like a raving lunatic bitch.

See? I’m totally with you. One the one hand I am the crotchety old white lady telling them to hush up. One the other hand I know I hate loud people and places so I don’t go to loud places. It's a win/win for everybody, really.

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!! Do me next! Do me next!

That's adorable!

I like you!

Amen honey!

Agreed. I’ve been there several times and them throwed rolls are light as air. They are just big ol’ yeast rolls, maybe 3-4” or so wide. (Although I am terrible at estimating size.)

I’m a Christian and I don’t give a flying duck that Jesus didn’t say boo about homosexuality. It doesn’t matter in this argument because we are a nation based on freedom of (or from) religion, not a Christian nation. Jesus wants this woman to do her damn job and not be such a hate-filled bigot.
