That’s one of the things they attempted with my dad. It didn’t fly with my Nana. And you didn’t fuck with my Nana.

Most schools aren’t staffed by nuns anymore. There simply aren’t enough. The schools I attended and taught, from 1993-2006 and 2010-2013 at had a max of 3, and only at my HS were 2 of them teachers. The others had administrative or secretarial roles.

Wow! I never told you how to feel. I simply disagreed with your characterization based on the evidence I found.

I looked again and specifically read the clashtalk. I think most of it is reaching. He’s definitely not perfect, but I’m not a fan of throwing out the terms “racist” and “sexist” without some serious back up and what I saw doesn’t meet that for me. I think we’re diluting the seriousness of racism and sexism when we…

I looked but couldn't find much. Feel free to get me more info. However, I enjoy Kitchenette. So I don't know if it's him or the topic that I'll actually miss.

That's why he did it....

Agreed. When I posted, those were the only 2 I knew of. I'm finding out more names and wish I could go back and add them. It's depressing.

I get that. It doesn't mean that I'm looking forward to the changes happening. No need to get defensive.

I second that. I'm going to need a few new options.

But crispy is fine. It's only crunchy.

Mark and Colin are leaving. Not sure of the deets. Thermoses are a joke from Behind Closed Ovens on Kitchenette, go through and read the hilarity. It will suck you in and never let go.

He's leaving here, but says to check his Twitter for BCO news. Seems like it will keep going. Now we have to import all our inside joke. :)

You're fucking shitting me, right? For whatever reason you let Colin and Mark go and Pratt is somehow even jokingly a replacement? WHAT MONOGRAMMED THERMOS, FAKE ALLERGY RIDDEN HELL IS THIS BECOMING?!?!?

Why not all of it? School system is trash, trust me, I know. But better leave would help that, it's not separate from it. Better parental leave would allow parents time to bond and teach their children. The system is a mess, but so are many of the kids. They lack role models because parents aren't there to help care…

My priorities are helping to raise the next generation. If that isn’t one of yours, you’re selfish. If you only care about the present, and not the future, you're selfish.

Who will pay is not an argument against leave. It’s a selfish call out.

Happened to me at month 2 and month 5. Had great jobs with benefits and decent leave. Had everything worked out. Then my position was cut unexpectedly at the first. Got a new job that wasn't as good, but still doable. Lost that to unforeseen downsizing less than a month after I started. Now I'm screwed. But, sure.…

Hugs and thoughts with your family and your daughter’s friend.

They always forget...always. I had one like that too. I teach middle school and my first year, the kids were great, but a little rambunctious. She flipped at me in front of them for allowing them to move through stations. Cause stations are only for elementary, you see. This coming from someone who had taught 3rd…

After the past week, I needed this. :)
