I have the House of Pies. I would be pleased if someone would open a Piezakhstan somewhere so we could have Pie Summits.
Yeah... That went well.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Our wings are not tired.
Allyson, that also means you have a Dresden Room and that great used bookstore that I have spent far too much $$ at. (Unless it closed and I will have the sads).

She actually said, "It's important for teachers to take every answer with equal weight and not say things are wrong."
Sandra Boynton did a comic in which the teacher says, "There's no such thing as a wrong answer, but if there were, that would be one."

We learn a lot through failure, mainly about what to avoid.
Indeed! I have learned not to over-handle pie crusts. And to make sure that the water isn't so hot that it kills the yeast when I make bread. Both of those mistakes have resulted in me throwing out a lot of organic material and starting over...

Just noticed they are doing street cleaning on my street tomorrow. Which means no legal parking on the block all day. Hello, polling station? If this weren't Chicago I'd raise an eyebrow.
It also means I have to move the car by 8, so I'm still irked.

The used book store near Wackos? I'm not sure if it's still there. Skylight Books is still there a block down from the Dresden, though.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I did the vodka crust, and it worked quite well for me. But, I don't have a food processor, so I did it all very much by hand.
I do think there's a difference between a student being wrong because they're wrong and a student being wrong because it's not what it says int eh answer key (I still maintain that I have given perfectly valid answers that were counted wrong because they were not the "official" answer)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
There's a difference between creating an environment where it's okay to be wrong than creating an environment where nothing is correct.
I would encourage people to take chances and risk error. I would also want to give the critical tools to allow discernment.

I do my pre-election investigations of state and local candidates and props with note-taking now.
I live in Kansas. Pray for me...
(The closer tomorrow gets, the more and more worried that this is going to turn into another Bush/Gore fiasco. In that case, I'm a gonna call my doctor for a big effin RX of Valium. Diagnosis: politics.)
I'm only joking a little....
All right, I'm goin' in!
Also, ita ! I am SO pissed on your behalf. SO. PISSED. It is beyond ridiculous.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
With the essays that 12th grade AP students do, there isn't an answer key. There are anchor papers and a rubric. The issue is, though, if you misread the text then your interpretation is wrong. It's a fine line to balance, but there are some readings that clearly miss the meaning of the text completely.
Looking at cartoons is pretty similar. There are defensible interpretations and there are interpretations that are too far outside of what can justifiably be read into the cartoon.
Blind loyalty to the answer key is the flipside to blindly saying all answers are valid.
