    Re: FSI. What are the differences among Basic, Programmatic, and FAST? Which one to check into for HS Spanish I?

    Watch out for glass houses and learn. WE are those mothers in a couple of decades.

    I can't imagine any family would be offended by a Halloween invitation. Some family may decline. If there's a family that truly is offended, you can't be responsible for its reaction to a social invitation. Obviously you would offend a family more by excluding its child from the guest list for fear of offending.

    Jacobs along with the teacher manual. Also Teaching Company has a high school geometry course.

    Thanks. I didn't see that hidden-in-plain-sight sentence. Now how do you email Howard Zinn?
  6. SwimmyKids
    Where's the link on the page? I have People's History and would love a teacher's guide.
  7. SwimmyKids
    no way

    If my husband and I had that conversation, it surely would have ended with hubby questioning my credentials. OR me accusing him of thinking about my lack of credentials.

    Oh, no!!! We've descended into mud slinging!!!!! (Slinging. Get it?) STOP. Cleavage is not worth this. At least my fleavage is not worth this. There are more important issues to debate; like the perennial "Which spelling program is best for my natural speller?" OR "I want to teach Singapore Math, but I feel so inadequate. Any suggestion from the hive?" OR "Why does the Comedy Channel show so many episodes of Futurama? Does anyone watch Futurama?"

    I'm not going to tag this thread "Nipple Prints." Don't want to raise anyone's ire.
  11. SwimmyKids
    Nipple prints in your husband's coats?! Are his coats made of Play Doh? I love that. Husbands can be so very supportive and loving.

    Let's not forget the vertical wrinkles I get in the morning: Faux Cleavage. Let's call it Fleavage. I flaunt my fleavage. If my fleavage is lacking, I can always walk around trying to touch my elbows together at my bellybutton, thus creating Temporary Cleavage. Teavage.

    I think this was a bit much. If this person had these problems with a 14 year old, then a private face to face talk would have been better. It should have been more of a gentle suggestion. I totally agree. If the Advisor is a teacher by trade, she should have thicker skin and more appropriate ways to deal with teenagers learning to take on leadership roles. A teenager messes up and shouldn't be called to task like this after an early, well-intentioned attempt. A private discussion would have been more constructive. Then the Advisor should have modeled expected behavior at the next meeting. Then the teen should have been given the chance to lead again with the Advisor's help.

    Factoring polynomials is for losers.

    Hate your legs. I have awesome grammar skills.

    Hey, man, I'm going to put big flashing arrows on my vertical bed wrinkles because I have cleavage envy. And shapely thigh envy. And small butt envy. . . .
  17. SwimmyKids
    I don't have cleavage, but I notice that when I wake up, the vertical wrinkles on my breastplate take a long time to disappear now that I am older and sagging all over. You know, from sleeping on my side and my arms and gravity squishing everything together? These are as close I come to cleavage.

    I never knew what they were. I never know they're there until they are loose in my mouth and I spit into a Kleenex. It's not as if I see or feel them lodged at the back of my mouth. Gross.

    I LOVE it!! Dried chickpeas straight out of the bag! THAT would be a cooking faux pas.
  24. SwimmyKids
    If your kids don't like garlic, you could add raisins to the rice and chick peas. A little Indian foodish with the raisins and then you can adjust the spices to fit everyone's needs--you know, make a big batch and then spice up one portion for adventurous eaters; leave the other portion less spicy.
