  1. It's not just urban schools. And it's not just schools. Rural schools and small towns are also grossly underfunded. I live in a rural/small town and believe me-- we don't have resources here.
  2. I don't think there is one central location with all the info. You can try JustWatch, if you know what you're looking for. You can try The Decider website, which has info on some services and a newsletter (by email) that talks about what's new on some of them. You can search an individual channel's or service's website to see what they offer. It's a lot of work and full of holes.
  3. I remember when I was a kid, every show had a predictable schedule and it never changed. Of course, people didn't have DVRs and streaming options back then, but it wasn't so much work to figure out when the hell anything was airing, either.
  4. I think they are paying Reenie to serve as a consultant. That's why she jets to wherever they need her. In the beginning of the episode, one of the women suggests Reenie help, and he tells her okay and that they can figure out the split-- which I take to mean they give her some of the reward money. It's not super-credible, but it's certainly not more incredible than a lot of what happens on TV.
  5. Wacky outfits is probably also a great way to change the image of librarians as stern disciplinarians who SHHH people. Making the library inviting and fun is probably good for encouraging reading. Though I do worry that there will be nowhere left on the planet for people to study in peace and quiet.
  6. But Gabi asked to accompany them, and was refused. For a seocnd I thought they had heeded the criticism and killed Bode (when he went into the building). I'm either a sucker or an eternal optimist.
  7. $20,000 for a book advance about an obscure dude from Revolutionary times seems like a really high number, especially with this being Sam's first book.
  8. Jacob seems to be thriving as a friend with everyone-- first of course he and Janine were always close. Then this season he and Gregory seemed to be hanging out a lot and getting closer. And now he and Melissa. I don't foresee him and Ava or Barbara getting close, but I never would have imagined he and Melissa would hit it off, either. Strangely, I do think he might have it in him to bond with mr Johnson. The two of them have just the right amount of weirdness to find common ground,
  9. Sheldon was given a place to sleep at home-- in the garage, which sounds worse than it is. Georgie lived out there and slept there himself for a long time. It's not the kind of garage that you picture, with cars in it and nothing else. It has a bed, etc. In the previous episode, the family thought Sheldon was sleeping late due to jet lag, and had they had no idea he was at the dorm. We still don't know how he's getting there, since a parent always drove him in the past. I assume there's a bus, but I thought Mary was opposed to him taking public transport!
  10. Oooooh... sounds like you have some juicy gossip I hadn't heard....
  11. I was relieved they had Christopher think people would leave because of his mom, and not because of his disability. I thought Buck did a really good job in that conversation, asking questions instead of lecturing. But I also think that at that age, it really ought to be okay to date non-exclusively.
  12. I thought Ghana was in the Southern Hemisphere (Kofi Annan was UN Sec Gen), but I guess not.
  13. My 7th grade was moved to the elementary school because of over-crowding at the junior high building. I have no trouble believing Abbott is k-8. It occurs to me that people who live in well-funded districts have no idea how the majority of the country lives.
  14. You don't need to submit to a specific mod. There's a button for "report this post" (the triangular on on the bottom of each post). I didn't notice that for a long time, since I never used it or wanted to use it. But one day I floated my cursor over each icon to see what it was for, and they are nicely labeled.
