I just got my AP scores back (from my students). Last year I had 59 kids take the kids and 5 had scores of 3 or higher. This year I had 39 kids take the test and 11 had scores of 3 or higher. That's kinda nice, but still deplorably low.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

Thanks for the link, that's a great interview. He's repeating a lot of the same things he said to Congress.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

This. The article was great. Then there were about two good comments, and several headdesky ones.

Because books.
I never even think to read the comments anymore. I love what he said about being a celebrity, too, and using it to do good and testify instead of getting drunk somewhere.

The article is really good -- the whole thing about obesity and poverty is right on.

There is nobody here at the office today. My cubicle neighbor just left to work from home for the rest of the day, the twins on two other sides of my cubicle walls were both off, the manager who sits kitty-corner from me took today off, and there's only three other people in the three rows of cubicles in my area.

If I may sum up? "Don't have kids if you can't afford them because I'm not paying for them sorry you lost your job but you should have planned ahead and not everyone who gets school lunch is because of some tragedy, some are having kids to milk the system I know because I saw a poor person getting their hair done."
And yeah, I (semi) chose not to have kids, but I am thankful for people who have. Hey, if my tax dollars go to support the awesome buffistae sprog with lunches, education, whatever, I'm kinda proud of that.

I'd say skip the school cafeteria.

I can't help it! I just keep scrolling and then suddenly I've read an entire flamewar without knowing how I got there! I think I need Comments Threads Anonymous.
