I teach high school, so I hear this stuff all the time. I make my students translate for me. For example, one student said, "Dr. K, you are beast." I had to ask if that was good or bad...
I know beast, yes it is good. Kids are so stinking funny.
-
I would imagine it's being used in the same sense as "killing" or "nailing" the exam. :D
It is, but since I am so very old I think of wrecked like wrecking a car - a bad thing.
-
Just asked my college kid and he said wrecked=dominated. :)
Yep!
-
I have 2 in a university. My daughter will think she did poorly on exams but always does great. My son knows when he doesn't do well and he is usually correct. ;) know thyself, I guess? Does your son usually have an accurate picture?
He does usually have an accurate picture, however I am obviously not up with the lingo. LOL
-
He did great!
Thank you! Where were you 2 hours ago when this brat texted me and didn't return my texts? I've been fretting this whole time.
So all you moms need to know that wrecked=aced. :lol:

I wrecked my cse (computer science his major) midterm.
-
One point might be the SAT, which I thought I heard somewhere doesn't accept a recent diagnosis made especially for the test.
I was thinking that, too. I don't want my kids punished because I didn't see the point in an IEP/504.
-
IMO find a different pediatric psychiatrist. The school IEP are bare minimum and half the time don't notice/see all the issues. DS IEP never notice he was dyslexic yet several specialists saw it right away. Have you had a neuro psychiatrist evaluation yet?
I had a neuro psychiatrist eval for my younger ds years ago. This psychiatrist is heavily recommended by our therapist. I could go out of town and see someone else I guess.
-
The pediatric psychiatrist wants my dd to get an IEP evaluation. He says that will pinpoint her deficits better since she's a complex case - she has just enough of everything for it to be a problem, but not enough of one thing for a good diagnosis of how to help her.
So I call the specialist at the middle school she would attend and the person asks what the point would be because it is specifically used for services.
I am interested in getting both my younger kids 504s since they have adhd & other issues. The 504s would give them accommodations in educational settings like college.
What have your experiences been with IEPs & 504s? This is new territory for me.

once every 6 months.
Same here. But I was reading that 1x a year is sufficient and there is no evidence to support 2x a year.

Our church pays $500 a month to get a delivery from the Cleveland Food Bank. It is the food bank's JOB to feed the poor and hungry well! You would think that the food selection would include a variety from all the food groups, but it is terribly carb-heavy. It's very frustrating.
This month, we got cans of beef stew as the ONLY protein, NO canned veggies or fruits, and then boxes of mac n cheese, loaves of bread, white rice, and--MUFFINS. Prepared Otis Spunkmeyer brand muffins in double chocolate, cinnamon apple and lemon poppy seed. Oh yes, THIS is what we need to be feeding the needy. Made me ill. Not that I don't want people to have something sweet and "frivolous" once in a while, but this was in addition to donuts, bagels and cupcakes!!
I know that a lot of people have food issues, BUT I think that many people would be better served by having hot, freshly prepared, economical AND healthy meals available. At least in addition to such a limited selection from our food pantry! That means more time and manpower, but I really believe that the church is supposed to be stepping it up to do these things.
When we worked at the food bank we were told not to push the whole grains and healthy vegetables available because so much of it was left outside or returned. We wanted it available for the people actually looking for it, and it wasn't many.

I searched and didn't see a list. What are you getting your kids, especially teens? I'm out of ideas for them. :tongue_smilie:
-
My dh travels and so often we have the family get together when he is home. I also encouraged my dh to go on a guys weekend the same week my kids had a big performance because he never, ever gets the opportunity. We sacrifice so much for our kids that I don't see the problem. The actual day doesn't matter to us as long as we do celebrate the event.
I do have a birthday celebration for whoever is here that day, but the family one is scheduled for when dad is home.
-
Eh, everyone has an opinion. I'm a mom first. I have kids with special issues and so I have to be.
Don't post controversial things on fb. If someone is a jerk block them or unfriend them. I tell dh when he wants to get a vent in on fb that it would be simpler to just mount a marquee on the back of his truck like the poor schizophrenic lady down the street (she has 3 on her car and fills her windows up with stuff, too. Mainly about not judging her.)
-
Take her to counseling is a good idea. I have a difficult 12dd so I really feel for you. Oh, our counselor has no problem with parents looking in a kids room or reading diaries. I do look at some things of my kids because that is one way I can make sure they are okay and staying safe. I don't care if others disagree with it. Good luck.
-
Any coffee powder. If its coffee grounds, than he would need to grind them first.
Okay. I use coffee grounds in my coffee pot. The Keurig needs coffee powder? I didn't know there was a difference. I'm such a coffee dork. LOL
-
Good point, but he could also keep a jug of good water in his room if he isn't close to a source.
Maybe I will tell grandma he needs one of those water filtering pitchers so he can have some on hand.
-
How close is his water source? If it's a-ways down the hall, I might spring for the largest tank I could afford. If it's in-room, I wouldn't worry as much about it.
When I had my Keurig, I really did wish I had gone with a larger tank, but I'm an extremely lazy and yet impatient person. :tongue_smilie:
It is down the hall. Would the Keurig classic be better?
-
I have a mini and I love it. I like the idea of fresh water for every cup. http://www.keurig.com/mobile/shop/sellGroup.aspx?ID=mini-plus-personal-brewing-system(KeurigRetail)
Hmm, link isn't working. I just typed in keurig mini if you want to search.
Thanks!
-
Make sure it's allowed in the dorm room before you buy it.
It is. :001_smile:
-
If you get him a Keurig, get the Keurig My K-cup reusable Coffee Filter too. The K cups cost more than buying his favorite blend of coffee powder or tea leaves.
Sounds good. Can he use any coffee grounds or is there something special?
-
Yeah, you learned a hard lesson. When it comes to money you have to wait for people to pay you first. Maybe she is delaying replying to you until she has the money? I'm sorry you are going through this.
-
Ds is hinting he'd like one, but I'd rather wait and give him one at Christmas. Which one is best for the money - I'm cheap. :D
If your university student texted you this, what would you think?

:lol: My 12dd didn't know what it meant either.
