My wife is looking at homes in Midtown and is looking at UMS Wright as a schooling option. We are coming from Houston and Baldwin county seems a touch to suburban. Not a fan of the large master planned communities....

re: Babies with pierced ear trashy?

There's actually not. Circumcision reduces STD transmission by about 1%. Not a substantial enough of a reduction to warrant cutting of a piece of a newborn's genitals. Wear a condom. Reduction of UTI/penile cancer (very small reduction) are the same benefits of performing female circumcision, which ...

Absolutely no medical benefit to circumcision. You are cutting off a pice of a child's genitals so his penis can look "normal". I don't care what you personally do, but call it what it is, a cosmetic procedure. ...

re: Daughter sent home for covid symptoms

Posted by NE4501 on 8/24/20 at 7:22 pm

Most school's are following CDC guidelines. Unfortunately the guidelines call for all students exhibiting any Covid symptoms, basically anything, to be treated as Covid positive. You can get out of the 10 day quarentine by a diagnosis of adifferent illness by a doctor or a negative Covid test. I get...

You do realize the state shut down the schools, not the teachers. The districts make the rules on who and who doesn't get sent home to isolate, not the teachers. Our district is open. The teachers are happy to be back at work. They are following rediculous rules and policies that are mandated from t...

They are available and that can help, but most staff members are opting for medical grade masks. Our students are not wearing them, so social interactions will be difficult. I want all students to return to school and am hoping we can do away with all of the new rules and procedures sooner than late...

re: CDC: One quarter of young adults contemplated suicide during pandemic

Posted by NE4501 on 8/13/20 at 7:51 pm

The reality is that most 18-24 year olds are selfish and many lack the coping skills to deal with the current state of the world. If someone truly contemplates suicide, they have real mental health issues. I've dealt with OCD and anxiety since I was a child. It can be debilitating and made even wors...

Our school is opening, but I think that many kids with ASD and other disorders will find it hard to cope with the safety procedures put in place. All students and teachers will be required to wear masks. It will be extremely hard for students to hear and read facial expressions. Familiar routines wi...

Posted by NE4501 on 8/13/20 at 6:52 pm

It has nothing to do with needing something or being weak minded. The constant doom and gloom, watching the economy crumble, and simple decisions like whether or not to send your child to school are now difficult. Routines are essential for people with depression and anxiety and many of those have b...

We are back to in person school in TX. I do find it funny that you guys all think that private school is better than public education. If you live in a decent area, public school is typically superior. The only exception is if you are going to a Newman type school. I know several teachers who got le...
