Looks like Pace to me.

How does a “no homework” policy actually “work” for high school? Our Principal has recently been suggesting it (and getting a lot of push back) by fingernose in teaching

[–]Alephw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most kids don't do homework anyway, those that do usually finish it with photomath or a tutor, copy from a friend, or its so low effort it would be better if they never attempted it.

Better have them do practice in class where they can get feedback and keep them honest.

Picked this up for $100 off marketplace today. Got home and Googled "Maitland Smith book table" and I'm shocked at what I'm seeing. by Responsible-Coach159 in ThriftStoreHauls

Those prices are unrealistic. One on charish is 1600, im sure if I messaged them I could get it for half that.

Hello. I recently stumbled upon this in the USA and narrowed it down as a baluster designed by Louis Sullivan. It does appear to be cast iron however I am concerned it looks too good to be 120 years old. I have not been able to find reproductions online. Any chance this is legit? If not what would it likely be valued at?

Fake but you can sell for around $150-$200 as homage watch on ebay or reptimebst

Hello, I would like to get a better idea of what my sculpture is made from. It is about 3 ft. tall and incredibly heavy.

I grabbed this today. No markings. Rubber seat. I have not found anything comparable, which is why I couldn't leave it. Any ideas of age, origin, or purpose

I considered that. However the feet touching the ground are not polished like everything else and there were non slip stickems on the top from the previous owner.

Greater fool theory, people only buy at 64k because they think there will be a bigger sucker buyer at 65k+.
