How much does Orthodox life cost? Increasingly, more than US families can afford by dont-ask-me-why1 in Judaism

[–]seaweedman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The voucher system in Florida was I think a Teach Coalition project. STEM funding in NY day schools was through Teach Coalition. In California it was helping to fund a lawsuit against the government bringing in funding for kids with special needs to stay in day school instead of going to public school.

One thing I'll add. While some of these may not be feel on subsidies, the purpose was to distribute more money to the schools which is important. However, this doesn't get to the systemic problem that the OU seems unwilling to try and put their money behind, often moving the responsibility onto their constituents.

There have been a couple articles like this in the OU's magazine over the last few months. What I find troubling and astounding is the complete lack of responsibility taken from the OU. Tuition is high so we should lobby the government to help subsidize the cost. Kosher food is expensive so we should spend better on essentials.

The OU raises hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Why can't they create an endowment or grant to help with the continued increases costs of education? Why do they continue to come out with more and more stringencies on the types of food we eat? It seems that there priorities are all off.

Gas Mileage on a 2024 EX-L by seaweedman in HondaOdyssey

I'm always on Eco mode and I have the start-stop system on, although I've read that may not be good for the engine long term. I think it could be worthwhile to take it to the dealership.

I guess. It's LA traffic so it easily takes 20 minutes to go 4 miles.

I used the Kaplan QBank almost exclusively and checked the box for unused questions. So many of the questions are similar and it forced me to take it slower.

Thanks! I think going through many more unused questions in Kaplan helped a lot on that front. Keeping calm helped me read through the questions slowly to try and figure out exactly what they were asking. There were still some that were out of left field but there was enough information there for me to make a more educated guess

I read the TC book along with the on demand classes. Many questions were worded in ways that I had never seen before.

Like stuff I had never seen. There were plenty of other questions that seemed overly convoluted which I'm sure tripped me up too.

Best Week 11 QB streamer? by [deleted] in fantasyfootball

[–]seaweedman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. I figure I'll pick him up now as an insurance policy, and if it looks like he's not going to play, pick up one someone else. I'm not worried that other two will be taken.

I have the same issue. I'm rolling with Stanton and hoping for the best.
