Simone Giertz embraced that idea and designed a chair for exactly that.

I don't think the parents are coming back... They gathered up all the cell phones and electronics and destroyed them before they left. The kids are receiving help from the proper agencies.

This reminds me of what a former student is going through. Her boyfriend's parents did home births for all the kids. No birth certificates, no social security cards, no records. Parents just decided last month to up and leave. The 18 year old just got dumped with his siblings, a farm, and no safety net. So the girlfriend and some other friends that just graduated have been working together to care for these kids and run the farm while they work with DHS to figure out how to go forward.

 

I hate it here...

Or, hear me out... maybe it's nobody's freaking business besides her to decide what she does with her own body, so maybe just piss off? Why is that so hard to do?

Getting info on events and businesses is so much tougher now that I don't regularly use Facebook. I missed both holiday garbage pickups because my county waste management company ONLY posts schedules on Facebook.

My kids love making the cursor fill the screen.

You're spot on with the reinforcement idea. For early elementary kids, maybe 10 min worth of work. Don't grade it. It's a practice activity, not a test.

Right?! I barely trust some of my colleagues to do their day job reliably let alone manage a firearm in a high pressure scenario.

Our school (who wasn't actually considering it) said the insurance company would drop our coverage if we allowed armed teachers on pemesis. Honestly, I think I'd quit if I knew someone on staff was concealed carrying. We deal with a lot of shot, but the last thing I want between me and a troubled kid is a gun.

Can confirm. My daughter loves to play co op with me or her friends.

As a teacher, just a letter or card saying how they impacted you is enough.
