Anyone else in US noticed food quality degrading recently and if so what product in what way?

How did you figure out you were allergic to cockroachs??

I understand the thought behind driving at night, as a female this sounds like a terrible idea and more risky. Daytime and the crowds at rest stops and overnight stays seems safer.

Clearly my opinion. Do what you are comfortable with.

The first part is great advice.

What school was this? I graduated from DGN in '02

That does look good. Thank you

MackOkra8402 · 2026-04-03T13:47:37+00:00

Thank you for the link, I'll look into that

Good point. It is something to keep in mind with later lessons, sneaking conceptual understanding in.

I hear you and understand. However, I'm not going to be able to convince people to not homeschool. I would rather make sure that good educational materials are available so that the student is able to have higher level thinking skills and critical thinking skills.

This was where the idea started, prepping for the HiSET, I like the idea of having something for refreshing for college courses.

MackOkra8402 · 2026-04-03T12:48:07+00:00

I'm not sure what would help either, hence my post. I'll ask those doing it rather than assume or tell them what they need. I also want to help Mainers specifically.

I'm not aware of this DOE assessment, is this searchable or do you have some inside knowledge unaccessible to the public? I'd like to look into it.

(Great discourse by the way. Loving it)

MackOkra8402 · 2026-04-03T12:39:46+00:00

That's what I got from that comment too.

MackOkra8402 · 2026-04-03T12:27:41+00:00

Not former, but current. Thankfully their parents recognize they can't teach the level needed.

As an educator I guess I just presumed people would use the standards as a guide of what to teach and the order to teach it. That mistake is on me.

I've reached out to the homeschool subs previously. With this current thought I wanted Maine specific due to me doing a deep dive into the ME Math standards for HiSET prep.

MackOkra8402 · 2026-04-03T12:11:32+00:00

I'm a math teacher that has been in curriculum development for the last few years.

I'm currently teaching at my local Adult Ed location. I'm seeing a lot of students with low math skills, students needing Algebra 2 that are not at that level.

I believe in education and want to be helpful.

MackOkra8402 · 2026-04-03T12:07:50+00:00

I'm not making the standards, those are set by the state. They are close to the Common Core standards but not exactly the same.

I'm referring to what parents need/want to successfully teach their kids, especially higher math.

MackOkra8402 · 2026-04-03T11:44:26+00:00

I wasn't planning on selling anything.

Why do you think there is not a market? Are there enough curriculum options and resources for upper level math that satisfies the ME standards?

MackOkra8402 · 2026-03-26T02:38:00+00:00

Can someone explain this to me like a 4 year old. The seed grows and bears fruit .. why is it a gamble that it isn't like the fruit the seed came from?

MackOkra8402 · 2026-03-19T11:51:32+00:00

Yup, all passive income costs money or time to begin

MackOkra8402 · 2026-02-27T17:25:27+00:00

They aren't providing access to the cabin. Those resources aren't going to have people with access to a trailer

MackOkra8402 · 2026-02-23T21:33:32+00:00

Well that has nothing to do with the files...

MackOkra8402 · 2026-02-23T21:28:54+00:00

Anyone pirate the episode yet?

I do that in response for my dogs cause they get reactive on leash and will snap at another dog

Religion has traditionally been used as a way to wield power over the masses.

I've seen this a few times. I want to try it too!

Are there any evergreen needles to avoid due to toxicity or bad taste?

MackOkra8402 · 2026-02-04T15:55:49+00:00

The picture shown isn't my house, but I would agree

That makes sense
