re: Why has education always been bottom tier in the south?
Posted by paleantelope on 3/8/24 at 12:18 pm
[quote]This isn’t true. All public school students are required to take the standardized tests- LEAP & whatever other ones are out there. The ACT is not a standardized test.[/quote]
Actually, in Louisiana and other southern states, Alabama for example, the ACT is part of a high school’s school p...

re: 3rd & House needs to start getting more blame for this game
Posted by paleantelope on 9/4/23 at 8:06 am
The scheme used last night needs to be completely thrown away. It will not work in SEC play.
Scheming out one of your best playmakers (Perkins) should be a sign you have messed up.
I don’t normally have start over mentality, but that is one of the worst defenses I have seen from LSU in quite...
re: Skenes-Milazzo billboards are up

This was my favorite moment of the celebration and I am so thrilled it’s a billboard. I would love to have this as a sticker—my kids would put it on their laptops....

re: Update: Any of you baws ever attend a HS football game @ McKinley high in BR?
Posted by paleantelope on 11/7/22 at 6:06 am
I’ve been to multiple games there in the 3-4 years. Parks close to the stadium/school and don’t have obvious valuables lying open in your car (that goes for anywhere in BR really).
There will be police there.
The fans should be fine unless you or people near you start something. ...
re: University of Alabama proposes changes to core curriculum: Lit and History not required

[quote]Kids headed to college have to read enough terrible classics in high school. [/quote]
With the way public school is set up around testing now, very few kids are reading full novels at all. At best they are getting excerpts of classics, for the most part they are getting short, meaningless ...

re: EBR School Superintendent quietly spending that cash
Posted by paleantelope on 7/12/21 at 7:10 pm
These new positions are beyond unnecessary when there are schools that need to be repaired and stakeholders were told that long term positions couldn’t be funded through COVID money. EBRPSS has had struggles for awhile, but this man is not even trying to help....
re: At what age are you cool with your kids flying alone?
Posted by paleantelope on 6/7/21 at 10:39 am
I did this myself in the late 90s as others have said, you really aren’t alone. My daughter will be 8 in January and I think next summer I would let her make the trip I used to from New Orleans to San Francisco to visit her other side of the family.
I worry less about her in the airport than her ...
re: Books on diversity and inclusion coming to all EBR elementary schools
Posted by paleantelope on 1/27/21 at 11:56 am
The titles of the books aren’t listed in the article, but everyone is acting like these books are going to be super aggressive and anti-white. I may live in a bubble, but I haven’t seen any kids books like that. I think the article might be skewing this to sound more radical than it really is. These...
re: Unions = Major Problem...to say the least.

[quote]Does Louisiana have a teachers union?
[/quote]
Yes, three, in fact. Louisiana is not a strong union state for teachers, likely due to the division of the unions, and so none of them really accomplish anything at the district or state level. The biggest reason to be in a union as a teacher...
re: Your 89 year old mother asks you to be tested for Covid before visiting
Posted by paleantelope on 11/26/20 at 7:03 am
I can’t spend Thanksgiving with my parents because they are in their 80s and just got released from the hospital for COVID after being there a month. It put my step mom in ICU. My daughter hasn’t seen them all year.
You 100% go get tested. You schedule online, sit in you car, let them put the sw...
re: Cloth Diapers; Help me form an argument against this route.
Posted by paleantelope on 5/17/20 at 9:24 pm
We cloth diapered our daughter until she started potty training with pockets and all in ones. It wasn’t bad, honestly, and not much different than disposables. Now, we didn’t start until she could fit into the one size, so we used newborn disposables. Baby never had diaper rash and we got enough tha...

My daughter’s godmother’s sister was an engineer for about four years then got laid off and went to medical school like her dad. She is now a dermatologist in a nice private practice with no debt....

This show is something I thought I would hate but is surprisingly entertaining. I really enjoy Joey and Shooby—one of them is my first choice to win.

re: Is the PSAT a good option for someone to take?
Posted by paleantelope on 10/13/19 at 9:49 pm
The test is fairly inexpensive—$16 I think, and you qualify for National Merit as well as other merit scholarships. Colleges will start courting you and it’s excellent practice for the SAT. It makes the most sense to take it if you can. ...
re: The Masked Singer: Season 2 Thread
Posted by paleantelope on 10/4/19 at 6:48 pm
If I remember the character intro episode correctly, they said the costume for the Leopard was created the way it was to disguise a distinctive body type. If that’s true, not sure that it fits either Jamie Foxx or RuPaul. That could have been a false flag, though....
