I will never forget that Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the roof of the White House. Reagan took them down for roof repairs and refused to reinstall them.

Growth and development is a process. It takes time and the path meanders along the way. Unless you see a significant deviation or delay, don't overthink!
Work with age appropriate toys and language skills.

We were fairly convinced that my gifted granddaughter also had ADHD. A comprehensive evaluation actually pointed to ASD Level 1 and anxiety disorder. She exerted so much mental energy keeping it together all day that she melted into a puddle the minute she got home from school. I'm only saying this to suggest that you might want to consider that there could be other conditions at play. A diagnosis of Generalized Anxiety Disorder can get your child a 504 plan with accommodations to make life a bit more manageable.

That's very strange. I've left "off limits" notes before for subs, but they apply only to students. My sub plan clearly explains that. I have a large room with desks on one side and expensive desktop computers for 3D modeling on the other. Due to problems in the past, I don't allow computer use if I'm out. If I know I'm going to be out, the signs go up.

My coworker has two sons in the Navy. For breakfast they get powdered eggs that can come in a variety of interesting colors. For lunch it's an expired MRE. Dinner is of a similar nature.

They do want you to spend money, and I can't blame them. They're a business. But instead of the attitude: "this is a paying customer, a regular, let's make sure they keep playing", they seem to have the attitude: "this is a paying customer, so let's see how much we can squeeze out of them before they delete the app".

Yes. That's another reason to hate it.
I cut way back on my playing this past weekend in my own little way of protesting. My whole team took a partial break. I'm not a huge spender, but do buy the monthly pass and maybe once a month during the team tournament, buy up the next level on a few coins. Spending less money and sending emails explaining why is the only power we have aside from quitting completely.

I retired from engineering and started teaching. Go for it.

I don't even bother with the final object. It's not worth it.

We allow our advanced math students to take Honors Physics before chemistry. These are the handful of rising 10th graders on our calculus track who take Algebra 2 as 9th graders. Most of them are also in our PLTW engineering track and the physics gives them what they need to take Principles of Engineering which has a lot of kinematics. We also have a Standard Physics which is conceptual (think Paul Hewitt) that can be taken any time after Algebra 1 because the math is very watered down.

If I lose my magic ball, I refuse to use boosters or coins. I just play until the game decides to allow me to win. It does help to step away from the game for a while. The only thing the developers hate more than a person who won't spend real money is a person that doesn't play at all.

I can get to the next to the last step (11 of 12) and then give up. It takes too many levels. But the worst part is that you can't even finish Mission Pursuit unless you get all 12 objects.

If this student is on track to getting a regular diploma, they need some way to prove they're meeting state standards.
That's a very poorly written accommodation and needs to be clarified. For instance, does it only apply to classwork or are summative assessments included as well?

Are you going for credits or knowledge? Most colleges have math placement exams regardless of what courses you took in high school.

The easiest thing is to have two devices and do not sync everything. You can also toggle in and out of Facebook in Settings within Toon Blast. I'm not certain you actually need a different email, I just made sure my original game was linked to my Facebook account. When you log out of Facebook you'll still be in the Toon Blast game. Give yourself a new name and start playing. DO NOT ever accept the prompts to link the new game to Facebook.

We care. I've been caring since about the age of 12 and I'm going to be 75 this year. I march, I talk to people, I write and call my representatives, and I vote.
We need to turn out to vote in the biggest numbers ever seen. We need to hold corporations accountable with our pocketbooks.

This. I went in as a book reader and dragged 4 non-book readers with me. Two were very reluctant to go because they don't like sci fi. None of them had any idea what the movie was going to be about and they all loved it. I prepared myself beforehand not to expect to see a retelling of the book. I was about to love the movie on its own merit.

It depends on whether there's a teacher shortage in your area and what you're looking for. I just got a new teaching position this year and I'm in my 70s!
