If you didn't know that it was play-based, then you shouldn't have applied. It also seems that Montessori is not a good fit for you. Your kids probably need something more traditional. [ Reply | More

no. you need to read the fine print. 15th amendment to constitution allows citizens to vote regardless of race, color or previous servitude. The voting rights act prohibits states from making laws that circumvent the 15th amendment. things like reading tests and other measures. they have to keep renewing this piece of legislation b/c the sadly some among us still want to disenfranchise voters, particularly those who are poor and of color. some legislators feel that there is no need for voting rights act anymore b/c these types of practices don't take place, but as we can see from our two most recent national elections they do.

He said, "PUSH GOD DAMMIT" to me. I pushed so hard I had broken blood vessels in my face and had blurred vision for 2 days. He let me have pain meds in the hospital but refused to give me anything when I went home.... He said tylenol only after that deliver and the most severe episiotomy you can get.

It's actually pretty easy once you get the hang of it. So you don't eat animal products...so what? There are so many veggies, legumes, nuts, and fruit out there to create an endless supply of recipes. It's really easy now-a-days to get access to excellent vegan products (candy, faux cheese, faux meat) to make getting the proper nutrition and not feeling deprived an easy possibility. It's an interesting and fun way to live kind. [ Reply | More

Well, their argument is basically that dairy cows are hurt in the process - confined, maltreated, etc. I think the basic vegan argument is not just about health, but also about "reducing animal suffering." [ Reply | More
