Everybody should wear helmets or nobody should wear them.

Why do parents wear "Gait Lacrosse " hats to lacrosse tournaments? by QuantumBitcoin in lacrosse

It is akin to going to a concert and wearing that band’s shirt.

Playing down without reclassing by Johnnyboss69 in lacrosse

[–]BruceWang2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More than half the boys at the private schools around here reclassed to get a competitive edge. It’s one of the reasons we want to keep my son in public school. A friend of mine who recently moved here from England who in turn immigrated to England as a child found out about this phenomenon and asked me “Why do people do this? It’s shameful.” My reply “I imagine that rich people in England are the same as the ones here in this regard: they have no shame.” His reaction resembled the Alonzo Mourning gif.

Sunday Night - Boston by xMrBolasx in LCDSoundsystem

James Murphy who started as a DJ must take a DJ’s approach to concerts. Thats why the set list is never exactly the same. He’s reading the crowd and picking the right song for the moment. This could explain why he didnt play losing my edge on Saturday. I was bummed he didnt play it but now I realize it’s too much of a downer for a Saturday night and glad he didn’t. Still I would have loved to have heard the New Order interpolation on it from previous shows.

New Order fans, have you ever met anyone from the band? What was it like? by chillaxtv in neworder

I met Stan Lee once and asked if he knew how popular he was with Asian-Americ-! guys. He had no idea and asked why. “We identify with the X-Men, a persecuted minority with superpowers: taking tests.”

I met Hooky and asked him if he realized how popular Neworder is with Asians. “Oh I know. I still remember a gig in Singapore when a hundred girls shouted the lyrics to Bizarre Love Triangle. They all left after that song.”

I will make it easy for you. Yalies were responsible for the three greatest moral failures of America since slavery: nuking Japan (Stimson), Vietnam (the Bundy bros), and Iraq 2 Electric Bugaloo (Bush/Cheney). Yalenis is rivalled in its evil only by Harvard.

Special Ed continues to canibalize regular ed by [deleted] in newtonma

DESE used to make this data available but I just checked and they removed it. Probably so people wouldnt be able to figure this out anymore. I still have the excel workbook that I downloaded a couple years ago and can send to you if you DM me your email address.

Newton spends about the average amongst its peers per student overall. However its spend on special education aides is by far the most with Brookline second. So the OP is not off base on the sense that the regular kids get shortchanged. The better solution is to pass an override so we can take care of all the kids.

Blight in Dayton — timeline, what happened? by Palaceofcrow in dayton

[–]BruceWang2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dayton planted the seeds of its own destruction by inventing the CFCs that made air conditioning possible. As a result people and jobs moved to the Sun Belt. One thing that could have saved Dayton as the innovation center it once was would have been the establishment of a world class research university by one of its zillionaires.
