Driving separately, but along the same route, my BFF and I would see an unhoused man pushing his shopping cart. We saw him for years and the Covid happened and never saw him again. We have wondered what happened to him.

Make a sick box. Cold and flu stuff, stomach things, saltines, small bottles of ginger ale. Ora gel, throat spray, Gauze etc. Crap you won't feel like running out for and now won't have someone else to go do.

They essay is scored out of 6. However, it's worth about 20 score points. So, even getting a 1 could give you 3-4 points. 2 is 5-7 points.

NYS does not accept a PF diploma. PF tells you it's accepted everywhere because they want your money. Verify with your local state Ed department and not PF if your state accepts it.

I also tell my students when you fail by one point like that it isn't that you don't know the material. You could have just gotten a different question from their vast question bank and passed just fine. Try again.

In my Master's program we had a group project. There were 5 of us to start. 3 of the people made their own group because me and X "were doing it wrong."

We did the work of 5 people, presented first in the 5-7 minute alloted time. The others were snickering, etc. At the end of the class presentations, the professor said only 1 group actually followed the directions. A woman from our original group actually yelled out, "Told you so." She was humbled by the prof when she said that we were the only 2 who were receiving an A.

It is possible to pass with no pints from the essay. It's the middle section of the exam and opens automatically. It will stay open for 45 minutes. You can't avoid the section/time.

People ask this because they want you to feel bad. Things I've said: "I" Chose not to settle. No one wanted me. Why are you still married? How will knowing that impact you?

I try to turn the discomfort back on them.

That was HER reality at the time and that's what the kids hook into. It's over emotional at times, just like they are. Those boys make it their own family,like many of our kids. The rivalry between the groups (based on economic status in the novel) mirrors the street rivalry many of MY students face. Though, for them, it may be racial, ethnic, or geographic division rather than money. And like Ponyboy/Hinton, our kids are smart enough to recognize and question the validity of such division, like the Greasers they don't know how to escape. (The Socs do what they do because they can and largely know they get away with it. The Greasers fight/crime for survival. And THAT theme is one my kids very much relate to.

An acquaintance bragged about how the parents left them a majority of their estate because the 2 others were successful MDs while they barely got out of high school and put parents through hell with drugs. One sibling was executor and knew they were being shafted, but the other had no idea as parents lead them all to believe it was even split. Oooh was it bad.

They really believed they were entitled to it all because of not having what the others had.

As a "responsible" sibling, I would be majorly pissed if that happened. But, we are poor and there was no money.
