In my experience, the university academic world is vastly different from the world of primary and secondary teaching.
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

If that kid is an ungrad at Columbia, I really hope the student newspaper gets a hold of it and finds out the kid's name and then rails against the ridic.
I kind of want to apply to find out.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I think the Nanny/Assistant ad is the Project Runway lady. I suspect anyone answering that ad will be sorry they did.
I took the kids to the gym with the express purpose of working out. But when I dropped them in the childcare (they were the only kids there), I snuggled down on the pillows they have in the book corner and promptly fell asleep. The nice girls working just let me take an hour long nap while they played with the kids.

Cash, that's probably a very healthy thing for you to do. Yay nap!

If I were the oldest child in the Nanny Ad family, I'd've picked a college a whole lot further away than just across town.

I mean it's a crazy job posting but they are offering up to 75k +OT with full health benefits, so if you can deal with the crazy, then it's at least well compensated.
This is true. But that is not a nanny job. Kids that are teenagers and above do not need nannies. Of course, most people who have nannies would not add in animals when they count their family members either. That woman is so not from Old Money.

No way would Laura run an ad like that. And she has six young kids.
