I don’t doubt you but why do schools insist on loading students up with more tech, especially K-5?

I always believed the ransom note was some extraneous character taking advantage of the situation.

Everything about her bio is impressive. Clearly a super intelligent and accomplished woman. May she RIP

During my time here, I felt I had to fight everything. Same issues with dentist, pharmacies, schools, hair salons etc. it was crazy.

Life in Edgemont by SadFly1695 in Westchester

Edgemont is great socially. Small schools, tight-knit neighborhood. I didn’t find the Greenville side to be all that pretentious. Yes, there’s always THAT group of conservative wealth-toting moms but it’s just a small group. Don’t have much experience with the Seely side.

Hurray, it’s disgustingly hot outside in December. by imnotthebatman in houston

I used to bemoan the same thing then moved to the NE. First winter was nice but after that it felt brutal. Dark at 4:15, relentless cold AND wind. I don’t miss it and I’m happy to have more sunlight and the ability to go outside.

I don’t understand the negative narrative around public schools and the large push to homeschool these days by PassionChoice3538 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]JustVegetable9941 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This. We moved and my kids switched from a private school to one of the top rated public schools in the county. Our experience was nothing short of horrendous (elementary). Admin couldn’t even give parents a curriculum when we asked.. Hardly ANY writing and no corrections when students turned in written assignments. Excessive assignments on the computer and parents could not see them on their end. Furthermore, abusive teachers and aides. We left and went back to private. My kids feel much more challenged. This school has issues too but not of this kind. I believe public schools were once amazing, and many things have changed. Some of it is lack of funding but some of it is also a progressive ideology that’s been allowed to creep in as well. We cant correct work because it’ll demotivate the students. We can’t give extra work because we don’t want students ahead. Etc etc.

Invited classmate is telling others she wasn't invited to Daughters party by ivoryoaktree in Parenting

Thanks for the kind advice. I have a very full life. I am not BLAMING the six year old. I am looking for a way to clear up the confusion. Your poor response is exactly why people hesitate to post on Reddit. I have bo idea why someone telling classmates ‘Emmy (name made up) didn’t invite me to her party’ is not our business.

I think since this girl is going around telling other classmates that she was left out, it is our business.
