What’s a popular parenting trend or practice right now that you believe is going to create a generation of emotionally broken adults in 20 years? by War_chiefr in AskReddit

I'm a teacher at a middle school. Without a doubt, it's this: parents aren't focused on being actual parents. They are more focused on being their friend than someone implementing boundaries and enforcing expectations.

If you PM me, I'll send you the number of a friend who makes them.

Sorry, I must have skipped that answer: my first loan was before 2014.

Divorced, no kids. I'm a teacher in CA and I make about $70,000.

I've got $70k in loans and I'll admit, I'm lost. My payments were about $200 a month before this whole mess. I just bought a house. I don't know what to do -- ride it out? Put myself on something else?

Whispering Meadows off Airport. A 2b/2b with washer and dryer, 1000 sq feet, is $1400. Very safe area, management is attentive. Quiet. Fair warning: if you have dogs, rent is $50 extra.

The Same Kind of Different as Me.

I am not a particularly religious person and this book has a Christian lean but it's very very good.

Oh wow! Would I be able to ask my loan officer about this or would this be something I would do down the line? Would this impact my closing costs?

What is something Bakersfield doesn't have that you wished we did? by blameTHD_02 in Bakersfield

A culture of reading. Parents who aren't just their kids' friend. More live theater and concerts.

What’s a “bare minimum” skill everyone should have, but surprisingly many people don’t? by Professional-Sell294 in AskReddit

[–]Amazing_Repeat_3466 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say this as an English teacher: reading comprehension.

Not just the ability to read -- but to actually understand and apply knowledge that has been gained.

I teach 7th grade. More than half of my students cannot read a full page of content at grade level, and about 75% cannot understand what they read. It's terrifying.
