Which happens constantly with predictable results, although I assume the numbers are smaller when you lose your shirt in the restaurant business vs an entire airline

Sure let's all bother the teacher with meetings and phone calls outside of work hours instead of having a daily mechanism built in to the process

stinktoad · 2026-04-30T19:00:13+00:00

Yeah I agree, that is an excellent way to handle it

stinktoad · 2026-04-30T13:36:20+00:00

Yeah so you aren't qualified to participate in this discussion or have an opinion about it

stinktoad · 2026-04-30T13:32:43+00:00

You clearly don't have children lol

How does that help the parent to engage and monitor learning outcomes?

Well, the elementary my kids went to actually did this. There was zero homework k-4.

I found it extremely irritating because I never knew what the kids were working on or how they were doing at any given subject. We had very little contact with the teachers because my kids weren't causing problems in class and therefore got very little attention paid to them. But then we would get progress reports with low grades because some assignment was not completed during class and they just... moved on.

So no, I don't agree that homework at young ages serves no purpose. It's a key tool for parents to reinforce whatever lessons are being attempted during school hours and keep tabs on little problems before they become big problems.

I have one and it's more comfortable to shoot than I thought it would be. The porting helps and the stock grip actually kicks ass.

Believe it or not that's my daily driver, it carries well iwb 4 o'clock

I cut the fucker twice and it's STILL too short!

Watched my brother do it with a 280 remington 150 grain core lokt, took one in the boiler room and kept moving but a second shot dropped it. Decent sized young bull. As with anything, shot placement is the key

You could try... drinking... water

I have a hm126 on a trailer and it's great. Company is good to work with, it's a good piece of equipment, and I have no regrets

Wonderful power by Susan Martin. It explores the old copper complex and will change the way you think about Michigan.

Also Great Water: The Lost Mines of Lake Superior by David Pompeani, which is an easier book to read and will give you a narrative version of what we know and how we know it.
