You're going to turn me into a stability device? Sounds wonderful! I'll be right there....
Oh wait... maybe I haven't really thought this through.
You are going to "keel" Flake? Turn her upside down, so you can keel her????

Oh crikey... when you put it like that?
I was a little upset that I was told I was one step from murder. Sheesh.
Oh my goodness . . .I'm gonna blow out my booty-tootie laughing!
I am angry today because drivers in my city think that they'll get extra bonus points if they hit some motorcycles on the way home.
Ooooh... not good. Glad you made it home safely.
Down in Texas we pronounce that word "kale" as in, "Ahm gunna kale all y'all, sugars!" Everybody's a sugar, regardless of how sweet they are. But upside down? Isn't that fanny first? I was breech birth and I'm here to tell ya, that was no fun a'tall!
Lol, you just reminded me of my auntie. When I was a little girl, I asked Aunt Mickey why she did not ever marry. She was a nun in San Antonio and had a Master's degree in Education. She told me that she was a Career Girl and that was that. For years, I told folks that my aunt was a nun and a Korea girl. With the Texas accent, that is exactly what Career sounded like. I did not know the difference.
And now I'm picturing you and Ms. Mod as Tucker and Dale in Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil. Which one is operating the wood chipper this time? ;D :
Just remembered why religion is a personal thing for me.
Not sure if these comments answer the question WWJD?, but religious people have a way of turning the very people off that they're trying to "save."
The mods, I think, are just trying to promote a little tolerance by asking you to do your preaching in the Religion forums.
They didn't ban you from the site at all...just doing their jobs.
I'm irritated (not really angry) that the format of the NBC news site has been changed to these gigantic photos. You have to do way too much scrolling to find stories. Anybody else hate this?

I am irritated at the school. I got a message from Evan's teacher that they want him to go to an after school math class for 6 weeks, starting Monday.
Now, the reason this irritates me is because Evan has an A- in math. They are basing the need for this extra help on his MAP test scores, which is that test all the schools use now, you know, teach for the test. Well, my understanding of those tests is that each time they take them, the questions a student gets are based on the last round of scores. So in some cases, the questions are about things they haven't even covered in class yet. (This has happened to him before)
We just don't think he needs it. And there are other things going on that would be difficult to work around, like him being responsible for getting his brother and sister home in the afternoons, especially since I have little RJ here at least 3 afternoons a week...I still have no vehicle and will not drag the baby out in this cold. Evan is already signed up and paid up for hunter safety classes, they start later this month and would overlap. But the biggest reason is because he is an A student.
I don't know. Maybe I'm overreacting. Obviously we want him to succeed, but I would hardly count an A- a failure.

Good gravy, CAT. Does that mean everyday after school for 6 weeks?
They are aware of his A- grades right?

You are so right about "teach the test". I'd have a discussion with Evan's teacher. Write yourself notes based on how you feel about him being an A- student as well as how the test is based on last round scores/ material not covered. make you point and be specific as to why they feel he needs this added class. A child needs to be a child, and an A- student must be grasping more than the average amount of material. They'd have to come up be some hard facts for me/ to agree.
Please don't stress, Tina. So much of school funding, teacher pay etc is now based on test scores/ and or getting students to attend extra classes. Stand your ground once you have the facts.
