If the district was piloting a librarian/library program, there should have been training for the teachers well before it kicked off. The teachers should have been introduced to the new librarian and the new policies and procedures ahead of time. Someone should have been there to ensure all the teachers know how to request books, library, etc. (Google docs or anything else) beforehand as well.

If that all happened, it wouldn’t be a public event education initiative. 🤣🤣

Usually, we get told something is happening and we’ll get training “soon.”

[S03.E07: Librarian]

This is the first episode I actively disliked Barbara. Why did she think that her opinion was the only one that counted?  I wish we would have seen her apologize to Janine.

How is it possible that they screw this up every year, and this year they did it royally? And no Matthew Perry???

 

He was there, but almost impossible to see.

If the vote had been after that live performance, I bet "I'm Ken" would have won.

I said the same thing. 
Are we finishing on time?  Down to the big ones and 45 minutes.

I hated this episode I didn't laugh once. Tariq is so self centered I hope Janine doesn't reconcile with him. If Imani had an IEP Janine shouldn't have had to jump though hoops to get an interpreter.

Getting expensive services of any type for kids is almost impossible. I could definitely see the district putting up tons of red tape so they don’t have to pay. 
 

I really like when we see the “I’m here for the kids” side of Ava. I think it rounds out her character. 

[S03.E01/E02: Career Day Part 1/Career Day Part 2]

Love how they got the old Ava back. 😀😀

[S32.E10: Semi-Finals]

I just cheered out loud for Alyson!!

[S32.E09: A Celebration of Taylor Swift]

Alyson looked like she was shocked she wasn’t gone. 

[S32.E08: Whitney Houston Night]

Do my ears deceive me, or have they used real Whitney for two out the three songs?

 I like the idea of cork floors, easier on the feet, and very nice to see.  I love the kitchen back splash, and that all of the materials are recycled, or sustainable, like the cork. 

My parents replaced the floors in their house with cork and they love them. My mom has arthritis, and she says her feet don’t hurt as much when she’s on them cooking or doing dishes. 

[Gymnastics]

So, Simone basically takes two years off to live her best life (including getting married), goes back to the gym to start training, doesn’t announce her return but lets USAG do it, then comes in and blows away the competition. 😀

The next year is gonna be fun to watch. 

[Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets - General Discussion]

Watching Ep 4 now, and I had completely forgotten that JB ran for state senate WHILE Josh was on trial. OMG, his pomposity (and stupidity) knows no bounds.

Like Jill has ever bought anything for her kids at Carter’s. If she did, the little girls would look cute and not like orphaned waifs. 

[Cheer - General Discussion]

Monica (and the entire Navarro program) has been sued for covering up a SA report.

“You did not go over the wall.” - And I’m a puddle. 
So perfectly done. I don’t think it needs a 2nd season. 

[S01.E05: Gardens In Bloom]

Can our next spin off be Violet finding a new man?  Cause the scene with Lady Danbury and her “garden” was fantastic. 😂😂

[S02.E22: Franklin Institute]

Jacob’s reaction to finding out about Janine and Gregory was classic. I ended feeling “meh” about it. Gregory took a risk and told Janine how he felt, and because she listened to Maurice, she shut him down. I wish Jacob had talked to her, cause he’d have gotten her straight. Jacob can be kooky, but he gets relationships.

Preach. Fell in love in ‘83 and have suffered ever since. 😀

video of Taraji P. Henson as Janine's mom:

From just that clip, I’m ready to nominate her for an Emmy. The look she gave the kid who called her “Ms. Grandma Teagues”.  🤣🤣 

“VIPs don’t need badges, we need refreshments!”  I can’t wait for Ava to meet her. 😂😂

I adore this show beyond measure, but I was actually slightly disappointed with the writing for the scene with Janine and Ms O'Neal. First I think it would have been more effective had we seen more of the student's issues throughout the year. I also thought that Janine could have done a better job of explaining the steps she'd been taking with him. It just felt a little too condensed and rushed.

 

I think she was trying to, but the mom kept cutting her off. She did mention that he was throwing books, and there was no reaction from mom. I do like how they showed that some parents aren’t as caring as others. They’ve done a really good job showing the parents that are working hard to hold everything together and want the best for their kids even if it doesn’t look like that from a teacher’s perspective, but it is good to see that there are parents out there that will immediately blame the teacher and attack. As hard as it was to watch, it’s something every teacher has faced. 

[S02.E19: Festival]

Ok, THAT was “legendary”.  I love how the parents came together to save Abbott. And, Gregory calling Tariq???  That was the best. 
And this???

EPIC. 

[S02.E18: Teacher Appreciation]

I love how the $50 Buffalo Wild Wings card joke continued through the whole episode. And Barbara’s face when she found out Mr. Johnson won the gift card!  🤣🤣

Public school teacher here.  Love that Barbara and Melissa are advocating for their public school for the right reasons- funding, accepting all students and some control over curriculum. Whoever writes this show is a public school fan.

Quinta Brunson’s mom was a public school teacher in Philly. That’s why the show feels SO real. I ❤️ their love for public schools that are full of kids who aren’t perfect and teachers who are doing their best without the resources they need.

Rug vermin? Once again, Barbara was thiiis close.

I love the continuity with this. It wasn’t just a throwaway opening. 

[S02.E13: The Fundraiser]

“Oh my God is a woman!” ~ Jacob’s reaction had me cackling!!  Someone is finally catching on. 🤣🤣

Mr. Johnson’s reaction to giving the cat back - priceless. 
 

This episode ranks up in the top ten. 

[Josiah and Lauren: He Has To Marry Somebody]

I wonder if Lauren is a secret Bridgerton fan as she names her kids alphabetically.
