Of course it’s thanks to Chrysler Capital lending fiat currency!

See, I told my wife Ferraris are more reliable than Hondas.

I agree! A talented teacher would pause and take a moment to reflect on what this kid is saying. Kids are not the most tactful, but that doesn’t mean the ideas and feelings they express can be ignored.

Nobody knows what the teacher said, but her response to him is complete and utter horseshit. “Disappointment” should be reserved for a kid half-assing a journal entry, which King certainly didn’t do. The teacher had an opportunity to have a real conversation with a student, and instead she took issue with her getting…

It’s the teacher’s response that sells this as the teacher being in the wrong for me.

Oh, I’m sure his teacher gave an in-depth analysis of Columbus! Including the fact that nobody is exactly sure where his ships landed before he summarily decided a land that had already had a thriving indigenous population was his to “claim.”

My wife teaches world cultures. In middle school. In Texas. Yes, schools are catered to parents who think they know better than teachers. Students have an... odd kind of power over their teachers. This is all true.

As a history teacher in high school, I think this kid’s letter is the visual representation of awesome. At nine he is coherent, asking legitimate questions and pointing out problems. The real problem is the teacher’s dismissive comment that didn’t actually say anything. The teacher is disappointed? Maybe they should…

King is a child. The teacher is an adult. He did in fact pose a challenge to this educator. Some teachers are bureaucrats. Some truly are talented artists who inspire. You can either accept a challenge as an opportunity or a disappointment.

The best thing about frozen lakes is that there isn’t much solid to hit.

Absolutely.

Yeah it seems like a man spiking a drink of a woman who is drinking any amount at all is the perfect crime. Especially if she wore clothes that were ‘asking for it.’ And the cops are all male. And the DA is male. And the judge is male.

“We’re sorry. These young people were educated by us. This is the exact result anyone would expect from that scenario.”

with the number of personal accounts of people warning other people about Weinstien coming out, it seems to me like it’s not the fault of anyone not saying anything about him, it’s that nobody listened or took them seriously.

Is it her mom’s recipe? Would it just be easier to bang her mom instead?

I saw an “Outer Limits” (or something, can’t find a link) episode where a guy finds out his girlfriend is breaking up with him, but plans on throwing him one more “sympathy bone” to soften the blow.

Banging your ex is like digging leftovers out of the trash, for one last bite. You remembered correctly, that lasagna does still taste like balls. Or in the case of your ex, those balls do still taste queasily like lasagna...

I’ve seen this romcom before. KD and Rihanna’s fight make them realize that the only thing worse than how they feel about each other is how they feel WITHOUT each other. They eventually fall in love and end up getting married. Jeff Van Gundy, still obsessed with Rihanna, tries to interrupt the ceremony but ends up…

I’ll never forget the time Jody Watley got inside Greg Kite’s head in the ‘86 Finals. I mean at the time she hadn’t reached solo star status, but had some leftover fame from Shalamar.
