I think the definition of "healthy" carbs could maybe gain from some refinement. Namely, a watermelon is not the same as an avocado nutritionally. Different fruits have different sugar content. Different vegetables have different fiber or fat content. [ Reply | More

I don’t think most people here think all fruits and vegetables are the same. Avocados and watermelon are both fruits; one obviously needs to watch fruit as many are high in sugar (avocados are high in fat of course). With veggies, I don’t think anybody needs to think about the difference between broccoli and cauliflower or kale or Zucchini or even carrots (truly, even though carrots are higher in sugar, it’s hard to eat enough, especially raw). Obviously there are a couple exceptions like potatoes and corn. [ Reply | More

Most fruit has a lot of sugar. Sure, it's "natural" sugar, but it's still sugar and has a lot of calories. The basic rule is: If something tastes sweet, and it's not artificially sweetened, it's fattening. [ Reply | More

Op- I find it funny and sad at the same time. There is always some new trend she is following. When Barre was all of the rage, guess who was taking pics at the studio and posting with a hashtag. She has daughters and after Kobe Bryant’s death everything became #girldad. She insists that she would never want a son and her husband agrees. The husband agrees a lot with her because she’s just too strong with her opinion and very argumentative. Recently everyone’s been taking porch pictures during the quarantine and post them to social media and guess who jumped on the bandwagon. She has the type of personality that she is always right and has to be on trend so it’s interesting to sit back and just watch the show. Deep down there are other issues like insecurity or possibly narcissism. [ Reply | More

Something near your face - jacket is fine, but if not, a shirt with a collar or a scarf or something. Ideally, they'll mostly see your face and the top of your shoulders. MORE important: Get the lighting and positioning right - not from right behind you and not a single glare of a lamp. Look at yourself on the PC camera ahead of time and make adjustments. MOST important: Look At The Camera. Not obsessively, but regularly through out the presentation. I have talked to way too many ears, foreheads, and nostrils in the last 6 weeks. [ Reply | More

My kids go to a charter. It does seem to be able to make decisions about opening/closing separate from DOE. (it closed before DOE). I'm not sure if they would be able to put social distancing measures in place for next year, but I can't imagine DOE will be able to do it, either. [ Reply | More

Hunter? My DC goes there and my guess is there will be SOME in-person classes, but they will be limited -- and optional for families that don't want to send their kids. [ Reply | More

op - yes, this is causing me to reconsider staying in NYC - how long can our dcs be isolated in this way? I assume HCHS would be even harder... [ Reply | More

High school is easier I think. The kids are in touch constantly via phones and online games. My DC went to a neighborhood school before HCHS so he's been getting together with nearby friends. It hasn't been so bad - but I can't wait until he can go back to school for real. [ Reply | More

np: i think if they can HS will have some in person because they seem very concerned that some kids are falling behind badly with remote learning, for a variety of reasons. [ Reply | More

np here - we are at HCES too and I'm really getting worried. The pushing back of the start date has me low-grade freaking out. [ Reply | More

op - I fear outing myself but I have a 6th grader and when they announced the push out of HCES opening that gave me hope for the little kids that they will be working on how to make it work for them to be at school. I fear my child will start 7th grade remotely due to some many more children in each class/grade at HCHS. For HCES my concern would be the teachers not wanting to come back and the lack of windows causing ventilation concerns. [ Reply | More
