HooHooHoo

I guess I am just a cynic and not so easily convinced of all this”growth”. Especially when it comes with such a financial gain for them. Yes, the things Jill was put through were terrible. I don’t wish that on anyone. But this book still screams self promotion and continued hateful beliefs to me. It would be so easy for them to show some remorse about their comments or even just a little willingness to learn. I am obviously in the extreme minority here, but my conscience will not allow me to line their pockets (even with Pennie’s). Edited to add: no judgement to all who have bought the book. Just my opinion and internal struggle.

How big can their dining services be for 10 students? There can’t be much choice/options. Just not cost effective for 10 !

My son is also just starting his sophomore year in college. It never occurred to me that he might “forget” us if I didn’t hang an enormous family portrait on his dorm wall. Of course I am a terrible mother who let my kid go to a college where everyone needs saved according to Jill. On the other hand, he needed a real education and a whole lot of hard work to get in. 🍀

No defending, but I wonder if she has melasma? I have it and it causes dark patches all over my face. I am so self conscious about it. I wear quality sunscreen religiously, wear hats outdoors, try to avoid peak sun hours, but I still get it. Not sure if she is into skin care though.

I am having font issues as well. I have it selected to the largest size. It reverts back every time I change to a new page. Even if I stay on the same forum/topic. I am on iPhone 12 with the newest iOS version. I have restarted my phone, cleared cache, and logged out and back in.

Good for your son! Unfortunately, I don’t think Phillip will ever get the chance to use critical thinking skills, even if he does have them.

I probably deserve a harsher punishment. My son is at a heathen college (Catholic) and I didn’t teach him the calculus 1 and 2 he passed out of. I had to send him to a real school because I am not as good of a mother as Jill.

A grammar test in college? What? My son is a freshman in college. Foreign language placement test? Yes. Math placement test? Yes (for students who didn’t have AP opportunities). Maybe my son’s grammar test was the 5 page paper he had due the first week in theology. He did get a 4.8/5 on it, but I forgot to post that on social media.

So does dad suddenly have bad health news because people have been questioning why he can’t go back to work???

Yes, there are not enough teachers to go around because we are chronically underpaid, undervalued, and expected to be martyrs. I LOVE teaching kids and I am good at it. However, I am so tired of the parents, unrealistic expectations from administration, and interference from government who have never stepped foot in a classroom. I want out desperately. I honestly don’t know what will happen to education in this country.

How do these people call themselves “pro-life” if they refuse to protect others with a mask? Yes, I know, they think it is all fake. It just burns me up. I want to take that term from them. They are pro-birth.

I love those donuts!

How old are these Rod kids? They have to ride in the cart? Maybe too weak to walk that far or can’t be trusted to behave?

Please tell me people gave Barb lots of love and support on that post???

Can you PM me as well? I have been wondering!
