How do you pack a lunch for your school age kids?

happythoughts @happythoughts (4109) • United States 15 Sep 08

I am a stickler with my budget and packing a lunch has put a small dent into it. I can't justify the cost of school lunch at $1.50 a day. I can do a lot with $7.50 a week. I just cant seem to master anything other then sandwhiches...

Millionmalls Hello, Just about ALL of these websites do PAY for your referals. If you bring others in you make money of all they do and some will pay you for getting any paid signups too, even if your account is free. SO, find out WHAT your referral link is and then go...

Exam depression

donburi @donburi (316) • Philippines 18 Sep 08

There was a time when I had an exam in school. I was very confident that I would do really good in that exam, but when the exam papers were returned I got a low score. I was really depressed and regretted on my overconfidence. I...

Millionmalls Yep, I have often been blown away by what does (and doesn't) end up on an exam, or test. I've gone in feeling sure I'd do fine and done quite poorly. Then had it go the other way too, where I was concerned I'd do poorly and did fine. Six of one and half dozen...

No Child Left Behind

Millionmalls I agree with you that it should be utilized very differently. For example in MA, where I live, funding is tied into the standardized test scores. As is often the case wealthier communities tend to have "better educated" students. Why? Not because of anything...

Millionmalls Hello, I think the most important thing to teach anyone is the idea of give and take, reciprocation, a favor for a favor, that sort of thing. So to that end I often set limits and conditions around privileges. For instance, if one of the teenagers gets a...

Millionmalls Unless your obstetrician says not to, or you have a high risk pregnancy and the beach is hours away, why not? One of my former employers, worked until three weeks before she gave birth, doing some hard work at that time, too. Hectic, busy place, she was...

Millionmalls I think it has put an immense BURDEN and TAXED local economies to meet the requirements, of this UNFUNDED demand. I do know that standardized test scores have gone up. I feel that for children with Special Needs, that has come at a greater loss, as they forego...
