If I were doing more than window-shopping I'd be concerned with the phrase "some plumbing has been updated," but since I'm not in a position to move, I'll let it go.

It was the only possible answer to someone's homework assignment to find a word that rhymes with sprinkle. Good times, good times.
Heh. I still don't understand Sophia's post, though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My current apartment has my best bathtub ever. Not a clawfoot, but a big metal tub - I can now stretch out my legs completely (while sitting upright) in a tub for the first time since I was a child.

I'd be concerned with the phrase "some plumbing has been updated,"
I suppose that's better than 'some plumbing has been "updated",'

Sounds better than, "hope you have a plumber in the family."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I admit, I'm not a neurotypical student and a lack of clear expectations ahead of time screws me up big time.
Fuck, yeah. Me too. So my reaction is total sympathy for the kid.
My concept of pedagogy is biased by my not being a parent or a teacher. I know this. But I also agree with the non-violent part of SH's post. Is humiliating a kid to make a point to the entire class about something as bullshit as text-speak really worth it?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Sorry, I'm not allowed to look at that kind of House porn at work!
And here I thought the Brit's would be more open about that kind of thing. Crazy Brits.

Speaking personally, as a future teacher and not my sister, if it's something that distracts the kid from learning what they are supposed to be learning, then I say, sometimes. It should be used sparingly and only in situations where the teacher really knows her kids and knows how the kid in particular would handle it.

I might consider the failing unfair but if it were my kid, I'd also consider it a lesson learned the hard way.
I was getting some good insight from the intense discussion. Enough to be pretty upset with an insult and a flounce-off.

HA! That sounds so wrong.
Also, I remembered another one. We were not allowed to use contractions. EVER. God forbid anyone used ain't. That was probably a Double F Error, it upset her so much.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Re: house porn. Ooooh, pretty! I love the idea of hardwood floors, a claw-foot soaking tub, and crown moldings. But,
newer furnace, hot water heater, roof. Some plumbing has been updated, newer electrical panel.
It occurs to me that "newer" in this context could mean 1911.
I'm having flashbacks to my mom's childhood home, where they added electrical wiring by routing it through the old pipes for the gas lighting. It was newer than the rest of the house, too.
