'Time Bomb'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It's funny, I have no childhood memory of having any interactions with my parents around school, other than parent-teacher meetings. I know that can't be right.
It could be right. There's been a bigger push on keeping parents in the loop over the past 10 years or so because of all the lawsuits.
As a teacher, I prefer to think of it as keeping parents in the know in order to help their children succeed in school.
I went to a small private Lutheran grade school - my parents were good friends with two of the teachers (one of whom was also the principal). And even when my teacher was not a friend of my parents, my parents would often chat with them after church.
Most of the time I was a good student who didn't get in trouble too much, so it wasn't a big deal.
Then I'll write a tell-all.
Her book IS the tell-all!
We'll have to write a tell-all on ... ita
We'll call it, "The One Woman Pink Gingham Junta: How One Woman Killed Everyone With Her Pinky"
I get dibs on ita's bio! And I have notes for a Tim bio, but will have to wait to publish it after there's only three marbles rolling around in his skull.
I so have nothing to tell.

I don't think I'd want my kids seeing Donnie Darko as freshmen. But they showed us Franco Zeffirelli's version of Romeo & Juliet which had scads of violence, blood and we even got the shot of Olivia Hussy's bare breast.
Of course, I think this is a much better way to interest teenagers in Shakespeare than with boring, old Julius Ceasar.
well, after all the tell all stuff
The title love on ita moon has a 20.1% chance of being a bestselling title!
In the town I work in reading list go out all the time - because in CA , the schools don't supply the books. So parents should be aware. however, there is an amazing amount of ignorance about what kids are doing in school.
The New York Civil Liberties Union filed a complaint on Tuesday against three pharmacists in upstate New York claiming that the pharmacists "refused to fill prescriptions for refill doses of emergency contraception," the Associated Press reports. What is particularly striking about this case -- as opposed to the run-of-the-mill pharmacists who refuse to fill E.C. -- is that the women needed refills.
The pharmacists apparently had no religious or moral objections to E.C. the first time around; it was that second time that proved the women's behavior was "irresponsible" as Andrea Barcomb, a CVS supervisor, put it to the AP. (Actually, it seems to us that taking preventive measures as soon as possible to avoid unwanted pregnancy is the very definition of responsibility.) As Elisabeth Benjamin, director of NYCLU's Reproductive Rights program, told the AP, "these refusals seem to just be based solely on moralistic assumptions of women's sexuality."
