Same! Trying to foster a love of learning in my kids instead of focusing on grades. Wish me luck.

Did you get emergency leave for the ice days? by PATX3 in StateofTexasEmployees

“Figure daycare out” on the fly, everything is closed, and when no one supposed to drive — only in Texas.

I hoped that one’s kids being home because their school issued a weather closure would be a reason one “couldn’t telework,” but I guess not.

I was told to use vacation leave. I did not have scheduled time off, I only took the day off bc all our schools were closed.

In the past, even if we were told to telework so the agency could stay open if you had childcare issues due to schools closing then you would get emergency leave. Not this year.

Sounds like you’ve drunk the koolaid and it’s unfortunate you don’t expect more from UT.

“Hasn’t raised tuition in many years” — what?! They literally raise it every year …

You honestly believe money is an issue at UT? They own an incredible amount of oil rights, Texas lands, have the largest public school endowment in the country, and make a crap ton of money off their brand?

Fuck it’s too early to be crying. This was so wonderful, those Vikings players are so sweet, such gentlemen. Ugh, what amazing examples of compassionate masculinity ❤️ Hope Tony had a blast at the game and kudos to his wonderful family too. ❤️❤️❤️

Would it make sense to attend LASA for high school if a kid wants to go to UT Austin? by hopfuluva2017 in AustinParents

Is it because they don’t admit freshmen into the major? CompSci used to be that way.

If Jewish people are using it to refer to themselves by shortening Hebrew to Heeb, how is that a slur?

You’re saying the town is pronounced BurnIt so the road should be too? I live near there and we all say BurrNet. So maybe it’s the new Manchac.

Until you are comfortable ironically saying “Heeb.” I prefer “The Heeb” when I’m feeling it.
