Nah, it’s for my MST3K tapes that I haven’t bothered to replace yet.
Because it was D.Rose and LeBron who did it. Just like in politics and in life, in sports the rich and powerful don’t get punished yet the ones with less power and money we throw the book at them. That is why I see these women as having more balls than LeBron and company. LeBron and co. could make even stronger…

You can make it work, you just have to prioritize it, like everything else.
In a strictly selfish sense, for affluent families with highly educated parents, I could see homeschooling as a net good for the child. As a teacher myself, I mourn the loss of students who have decent support systems to the general classroom. The damage removing students who have great advantages does to everybody…
As my dad used to say "I see why some animals eat their young."

My undergrad’s nursing program was also brutally difficult. Turned out amazing nurses, but holy shit did they work hard for it. My sophomore year roommate was a nursing major.
If it makes you feel better, the standardized test to get into medical school (MCAT) and the standardized tests in med school are highly, highly controlled for cheating. I can’t think of how anyone could pull it off—and anyone smart enough to pull it off probably wouldn’t need to. So take comfort in the fact that…
Somewhere out there, E.L. James just preordered this and opened a new Word doc.
