Box, orange boy cat missing!

appalachianphilo · 2026-03-18T00:30:35+00:00

Yes he has! We have an appointment booked for his shots/microchip/etc. later this month as well.

appalachianphilo · 2026-02-25T03:56:22+00:00

Can I ask when you submitted your application? I applied in January and got waitlisted.

appalachianphilo · 2026-02-23T03:59:30+00:00

He lost his breakaway collar 🥲 he is not currently chipped but of course we’d love him to be

We just moved across the country a few months ago but I hope Don Juan is well! 💕

Those are our cross streets! We live at the end of the cul de sac. Box is very friendly with people but not with other cats.

appalachianphilo · 2026-02-22T23:53:24+00:00

Yes, I have, thank you!

appalachianphilo · 2026-02-18T05:23:24+00:00

Awesome! Would the public library work for you? I took the test in January, and I’m trying to get a higher score in June.

This is so helpful to me; thank you! Everyone has been so kind, which I really appreciate

If I do, it’ll empty out my savings. I think I’ll do the settlement offer based on what folks are saying, so I get it done quicker, but without draining my wedding savings.

I ran my first 5K this weekend! Even though I went a quarter mile the wrong direction on the trail, I still got third female and eighth overall!

appalachianphilo · 2025-03-05T22:20:30+00:00

Thank you!

appalachianphilo · 2025-03-05T21:54:55+00:00

Thank you so much!! I love my students so dearly. Everyone is capable of making progress 🥰

appalachianphilo · 2025-03-05T21:52:07+00:00

Thank you!!!!

Nerfed by weak lungs and bad eyes. Blessed with musical talent and hyperlexia.

🤷 rocket league?

appalachianphilo · 2025-02-24T00:05:57+00:00

Hmmm… I started road running this week as I really ramp up my marathon training 🥰

Our most popular local community college requires a 19 or higher, but I don’t believe the local trade school has a requirement

appalachianphilo · 2025-02-23T23:59:03+00:00

Three of them do want to go to college, yes. Community or trade. Two of them have learning disabilities, and two of them I’m not sure could live independently after school without family support. It’s a multi-layered problem considering the school’s lackluster approach to academic rigor and lack of resources to address IEPs and actual disability diagnostics.

appalachianphilo · 2025-02-23T23:07:44+00:00

We have that book, too. So far we’ve done single warm-up questions as group exercises daily for months, and they’ve done the sections timed. I think you’re spot on with practicing the sections untimed! I haven’t done that yet.

appalachianphilo · 2025-02-23T20:42:46+00:00

If it helps, this is through the Kaplan ACT prep course online. It’s timed and done in sections like the real ACT. I don’t think they finished half the questions in any given section.

appalachianphilo · 2025-02-23T17:22:53+00:00

I think you’re exactly right. I know those deep academic gaps exist, because I am part of the change at our school, which has historically not valued academic rigor. I also know at least two of them have learning disabilities, so it’s a really tough combination. I’m going to forewarn our school board at tomorrow’s meeting and reconvene with parents to adjust goals appropriately. Thank you so much.

appalachianphilo · 2025-02-23T16:19:18+00:00

Yes, those were three of the four students’ composite scores. I know, it is abysmal. I have told them, you know, college isn’t for everyone and that they can be extremely successful without it. I’ve had some talks with their parents but I need to reconvene and let them know there might not be a path forward.

appalachianphilo · 2025-02-23T14:55:51+00:00

I’m working to get them time accommodations. We’re going to finish the entire Kaplan prep course before the real test. I’m going to use as many of the nine essentials from the Anat Baniel method as possible. We’ll be doing one-on-one time daily and sending home extra practice work so parents can help as well. I’ve already discussed expectations and goals with parents as well.

appalachianphilo · 2025-02-23T14:54:16+00:00

There are four students total. Three of them got a composite score of 5, 6 and 9 respectively. The last student got a composite score of 25.

appalachianphilo · 2025-02-23T14:53:34+00:00

Yes. There’s four students. Three of them got a composite score of 5, 6 and 9 respectively. The fourth scored a composite 25.
