This first-grade teacher says 100% of her students went to kindergarten, and almost all of them have both parents at home. A bunch of them even went to pre-K. Yet somehow these kids still can’t write the alphabet or count.
She can’t fail them. She can’t hold them back. So they just keep getting pushed to the next grade, year after year.
No Child Left Behind was the biggest disaster the education system has ever produced, and parents have stopped parenting, expecting schools to do it all for their children.
@tallsnail I have 5 ranging from 10 down to 2 years old. It's tough, stressful and the days are long and busy. But I'd never want to go back to the "easier" days of 2-3 kids.
@DavidDack Nope, not at all. I'm going to face him, bow up, and pray he stops charging (they usually do). Not turning my back on him until he's turned around and no longer a threat.
@UltraRunner26 I found that I like alot of AI music, particularly the blend of metal, electronic, viking style. Now when i hear a new band that is AI, I can pick up on it pretty quickly. They have a unique and polished feel with very similar vocal stylings.
@DavidDack I'm running at 4:45am. 5 kids at home and headed out of the house at 7am to take them to school. If everything disappeared, I'd choose 6:30am, watching the sun rise and getting just a bit of morning heat near the end of the run.
Fantastic answer from Bryce Harper on how he rebounded from a major error on a fly ball to crushing a homerun the next at bat. This is what many miss about sports, the game is secondary to the life lessons. You’ll fail a ton, but get back up.
@DavidDack Both C and D for me.
I enjoy D for being connected with my environment and have done it enough that the run won't be ruined if I forget my headphones.
@DavidDack I tried to increase my cadence from 155 to 180 through a few months of training, short quick steps, and some metronome work.
One morning easy run I let my body do what it needed to stop the HR drift...turns out i just needed a 162 cadence to be more efficient.
