    Q for teachers/home-schoolers

    (I'm putting this on the Budget Board since I'm trying to find free/inexpensive suggestions:thumbsup2) I have two kids(4th/6th grade) who are GT/Level 1 and are completely breezing through their coursework in school, which is great. But I'm wanting to supplement their learning to maybe go a...

    Occupy Dallas... a sex offender who failed to register as required allegedly sexually assaulted a teenager.

    As I try to teach my girls(because I want them to understand they are accountable for their behavior), do unto others as you would have done unto you. (don't know the precise wording off hand). That's where the adults and the adolescents make their choice of words in any debate.

    More than we'll know and for a very long time..... However...... There's a mindset that some people want to say they were the "victim" of unscrupulous mortgage practices, but there are many who knew clearly what they were getting into. Those individuals knew they couldn't afford it, but...

    kind of like George Soros, huh? :cheer2: I was just commenting on the coincidence of watching that show last night that my kids really enjoyed and were engaged in.

    Just watched a PBS special last night that they helped fund, it was a really interesting show about a 5000 year old man found under ice, AMAZING things they've learned from that mummy! My kids just love PBS, lots of really enriching stuff on there.

    That's why I can't figure out why people want to demonize the Tea Party and what they want to accomplish. Or the GOOOH (they might not be as well known...... http://goooh.com/Learn.aspx). If there were those in the 60's that wanted a war and had the weapons for it, why would we be surprised of...

    We've all been there. :) Hopefully the link works right. I've just tried, for myself, to look more into some of the stories that are coming up about the whole thing.

    Am I the only one who doesn't get the "Occupy Wallstreet" movements

    I would take every single report, from either side, with a grain of salt and skepticism. There are videos of protesters who supposedly rented the same kind of camera and allegedly debunked that report. http://www.newstatesman.com/blogs/the-staggers/2011/10/thermal-imaging-empty-tents I have...

    Am I the only one who doesn't get the "Occupy Wallstreet" movements

    Absolutely. People don't want us to lump them into a group because we don't get it or we're complacent, or because we don't just concede "yeah, you're right, I'm wrong". But they can fall into that name calling that makes the discussion run straight down the drain. It's certainly anyone's right...

    Arielle22 I think you are talking about the perspective that gets forgotten. i.e. those small business people(carts) who are losing money while OWS is camping out. Or if the OWS stays long enough, will those people go out of business? Time will tell. How unnerving to be involved in lock...

    I was just wondering whether she is part of the OWS in the cause against BOA. Not knowing her personally, I wasn't privy to her exact graduation date. In her story weeks ago she presented as a college student/customer of BOA with a valid cause. Whether she's a progressive activist wasn't...

    Are we certain that Molly Katchpole is an OWS member? My understanding is that she is a regular college student who wasn't having any part of paying that fee and collected ~ 300,000 signatures of those who agreed. Just want verification of where the credit should be given since having the...

    is it just me, or does this discussion resemble this classic commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fordPXp06h4 "the American people need help..... let's take it to our government leaders..... who get contributions from corporate America..... who screw the American people......"

    Are these changes before or after the Evil Corporate America campaign contribution checks have cleared?
