the doe is being responsible, and their methods are reasonable. change is good and there are many reasons to change. that a school is good does not mean that access has been fair or equitable, or that it couldn't be better. this constant lament by anderson people saying it has worked well thus far does not cut it. they say that because it served them since their kids got in. others could do well there as well, and the access to the school needs to be more fairly available to high scoring kids.

to say when something isn't broke, do not fix it, does not apply to anderson. many did not like the onsite system, and felt favoritism and diversity/gender balancing were at play. it was not transparent and the doe is right to change the system. same for nest. seems very clear to me that the doe had to do something to change this. lawsuits happen for a reason, and the doe had to be responsive.

After that time you will re-evaluate their subway porn. If it is still disrespectful... you will boycott till June 1, 2010. Repeat for __________ vodka/rum/rum mixers/wine coolers/etc. [ Reply | More

you know, i would encourage outside play when possible, but i would also encourage the type of little boy that he is. this is actually a really good quality, and will lead to lots of success in his future. lots of men are like this, and are intelligent, smart men who just are more intellectual. also, he may learn to love the outdoors when the perfect activity comes along-- biking, for instance, or something. but really encourage who he is. this is a lovely quality in a boy [ Reply | More

I agree. My Dh hates to go outside. He would much prefer to sit inside on a beatiful day and read the paper. He is succesful and intelligent. [ Reply | More

I'm sorry that you are stressed already and you aren't sure if you are pg. I sure hope if it turns out you are pg, you and your dh could really talk it out and he can be sensitive to you. You are the one that would be doing something..so it's harder for a woman to do something about it [ Reply | More

There is no evidence that the pill causes infertility. The pill can acutally help preserve fertility because it suppresses ovulation. Our bodies were not meant to ovulate every month. They were made to be either pregnant or BFing most of the time, both which suppress ovulation. [ Reply | More
