[ - ] I just had a food binge and messed up my diet for the day. I ate several bites of tortellini, a few bites of cake and some cheddar cheese - random things, and now I feel guilty and ill. Just had to confess here... 8 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More ]

[ - ] Schools ask low performing kids to stay at home or not take the test in order to make their schools look better. It's a dirty little trick every school uses. 18 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More ]

That is Nest's trick and then they give them the answers when they take the makeup test. Other schools slap the slow ones with an IEP so they can be on the special ed roster not the general ed roster. [ Reply | More ]

Ok, at this point I chuckle when I see the rabid Nest basher. Starting to sound like she's obsessed! Rabid Nest basher - sorry your kid did not get in there.
