Czech-Irish-German-English-Swiss-Native American here. My grandfather actually came over from Czechslovakia (as a wee child), so that's the one I tend to identify with more.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, that's not what you meant, was it?

I am not .3% Jamaican, except inasmuch as I Am America, and the US is .3% Jamaican.
Although I swear I heard my grandmother's family was somewhere in the west indies before they made it to TX. So maybe I am!!

A friend of mine has, Emily. I can give him your e-mail address if you want, I'm sure he'd be glad to talk about it.
Hmm. More talking to strangers. Really, all I want is someone to pat me on the back and say, "It's a good idea, it'll be fine, you should totally do it." For lo, I am pathetic and meek.

Emily, if you want to teach, it seems like a great idea. I've heard more good things about Princeton Review than about Kaplan, but not recently (my cousin just lost her job with Princeton so we hate them now).

Emily, It's a good idea, it'll be fine, you should totally do it. Also, you're good enough, smart enough, and, doggonit, people like you!

Russian-Chinese-Italian-German-what we thought was Scots but turns out to be more likely to be English here. Plus any that haven't been traced yet.

Has anyone here ever worked for Kaplan, doing tutoring or teaching or the like? Or for that matter ever had Kaplan classes or tutoring? I'm contemplating applying, but I want a bit more information first.
I took Kaplans for my LSATs, then a couple years later trained to teach the LSATs. I didn't end up teaching because I got a better offer. I remember really liking the prep course, and the training course being a pleasant experience.

Well, I can tell you he enjoyed it. If asked, I'm sure he would tell you it's a good idea and you should do it. So if that's all you want to know, no need for you to talk to him directly.
