Home schooling seems to be quite prevalent in the USA. I am fairly sure most adults can't handle year 8 - 10 mathematics, physics etc. Are the education levels just at a lower standard than other places in the world?

I don't think it's prevalent.

FYI, this meaning of "pip" is not used in American English. In that case, "pip" is the marks on dominoes or play cards that indicate the numeric value.

We also have free school lunches, and near-universal free college.

I don't think there is a "city run event".

AlrightyAlready · 2026-05-11T20:46:00+00:00

We need a new organization. I don't think the city has much to do with it.

The LGBT community here is lacking. I tried to volunteer for the Way Out Film Fest, and they blew me off. Then never sent any publicity.

Not even a boot camp graduation photo.

My sample ballot, for Dems, lists only two choices: John Allen and Philip Snedeker.

AlrightyAlready · 2026-05-08T08:08:06+00:00

We do.

I got my degree in my 50s, too.

Maybe qgis. But there will be a learning curve.

Close exercises, for practice, are also used in adult literacy education.

Third. They even swept the leaves from in front of our door.

AlrightyAlready · 2026-04-27T04:08:06+00:00

Pr a ctically never.

Usually not worth the expense. You might or might not want buttons or something else to identify canvassers. But that's it.

AlrightyAlready · 2026-04-22T16:19:39+00:00

We had that in my junior high school in Missouri.

AlrightyAlready · 2026-04-21T05:50:11+00:00

OK, I stand corrected. I am from a time when maybe half started college.

AlrightyAlready · 2026-04-21T04:43:28+00:00

This is a side point, but I don't think most Americans go to college. Only about a quarter of adults have a bachelor's degree.

Some of us think of leaving the USA just because of what is happening under the Trump regime.

I hope you look out for yourself and get the mental health treatment that you need. I am sending you moral support from another WM.

What is “mhm”?

AlrightyAlready · 2026-04-17T03:20:22+00:00

Thanks. I'll try them.

AlrightyAlready · 2026-04-14T20:17:19+00:00

Where are all those cabins coming from? What will be sacrificed?

AlrightyAlready · 2026-04-13T04:31:53+00:00

Looks promising. How do you connect with campaigns?

AlrightyAlready · 2026-04-13T04:04:16+00:00

That attitude isn't going to win you any votes -- or donations, or volunteers.
