It is starting to look like the field crew has beef with the replay crew in these calls now.

re: Service Dogs for Vets
Posted by paleantelope on 6/5/24 at 7:09 pm to Bestbank Tiger
There used to be a program at Angola that trained service dogs for vets. A buddy of mine got a dog to help with service connected issues when he fell the dog could brace so he could stand, attend in the store so people wouldn’t get to close, help clear the house and wake from night terrors.

Posted by paleantelope on 5/27/24 at 6:08 pm to semjase
I am not pleased with the outcome of the last several seasons and was very hopeful at the start of this one. To avoid a buyout, I would put feelers out for a new coach for when Torino’s contract ends next year unless she is willing to step down and stay on as a pitching coach.

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.
Actually, in Louisiana and other southern states, Alabama for example, the ACT is part of a high school’s school performance score and is a standardized test for all students in that state. All 11th graders take the ACT during a regular school day and that score counts in the school’s results. Is it flawed? Absolutely. ACT has even come out and said that its test should not be used as a factor in determining school performance, but the states do what they want.
re: 3rd & House needs to start getting more blame for this game

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 some time.

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.

Kids headed to college have to read enough terrible classics in high school.
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 pieces geared towards being easy to evaluate “skills.”

re: EBR School Superintendent quietly spending that cash
Posted by paleantelope on 7/12/21 at 7:10 pm to PiscesTiger
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 to TheBoogeyman
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 talking the ear off of the person next to her, but she’s gotten good with long car rides and some flights together, so I think she will be ready.

re: Books on diversity and inclusion coming to all EBR elementary schools
Posted by paleantelope on 1/27/21 at 11:56 am to RealityTiger
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 are probably some books with children from different cultures as main characters doing normal kid stuff. One that makes these lists a lot is Ada Twist, Scientist. Just a book about a girl who likes science. She happens to be black; it’s a cute book. If that’s the “indoctrination,” there are way bigger problems in the world.

Does Louisiana have a teachers union?
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 in Louisiana would be to protect yourself from parental lawsuits.
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 to SixthAndBarone
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 swab in your nose and like it.

re: Cloth Diapers; Help me form an argument against this route.
Posted by paleantelope on 5/17/20 at 9:24 pm to LSUJML
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 that we washed once a week. They even took them at daycare. One set of diapers took her from four months to potty training, so we did save money for sure.
re: Do you know any doctors that did engineering?

re: Is the PSAT a good option for someone to take?
Posted by paleantelope on 10/13/19 at 9:49 pm to Chuck Barris
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.

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.

I feel like this may have been one of the major reasons Miranda opted for divorce over just letting Daniel stay home and take care of the kids. It was one thing for him to be flighty about a job, but clearly her work was keeping them afloat financially anyway, but being constantly made the enemy in your own home for setting reasonable boundaries for your children and having all you do undone had to be beyond infuriating.
re: Louisiana public schools class of 2018 ACT scores by parish
Posted by paleantelope on 7/25/19 at 9:24 am to Methuselah
quote:
I"m pretty sure the grades that the state gives schools and school districts has an item that rewards schools for the number of kids who make a certain score, not for the average score or percentage of kids who make a certain score. Thus, the incentive is for them to give it to all the kids. (Not sure if there is a state mandate for all kids to take it or not). The scores are more worrisome if you consider that some schools/school districts have dedicated 1/2 semester ACT Prep classes as part of their curriculum, and that kids take a practice type ACT test in 10th grade and take the actual test in both Junior and Senior years.
There is a mandate that every junior in LA public schools must take the ACT; it’s a double edged sword in that it’s the only standardized test that has some actual benefit to some of the kids (those who plan to go to college get a free test) but can hurt the schools and state overall with scores from kids who already got the score they need or have no intention of going to college. I know a kid who got a 34 as a sophomore bubbled random stuff as a junior and slept. He brought his school’s average down some.
The school performance score is based on the score the kid gets, with more points awarded for higher score brackets. I believe no points are awarded for any score lower than an 18.

I think the question is asking if you were to experience how you made others feel would it be mostly positive, negative, or an even mix. Given that, I would like to think it would be most positive for me, but I know there are times I’m a jerk.
re: University of Texas to give free tuition to students from families that earn under 65K

I’m not sure how this will make UT trash when the Ivies have had this policy in place since at least 2005. I think there cut off income is higher as well. Are they trash? Just because your family isn’t very wealthy doesn’t mean you did poorly in high school and are unable to succeed in college.
re: Pride Month Discussion Topic - Child sleepover with friend who switched genders
Posted by paleantelope on 6/25/19 at 1:04 pm to lsuhunt555
I think the dad here made the right choice because it creates the same standard and gives the appearance (don’t know if real or not) of accepting the transgendered child. If you want to transition from girl to boy then the rules regarding sleepovers with boys now apply to you. Seems simple and shouldn’t cause conflict.
The lesbian issue is a bit trickier—I guess if I knew 100% my child was into boys, maybe, but how can you know? And even so, kids do crazy stuff when they are together. We just don’t do sleepovers.

As if the grief of losing a child was not enough, the feelings of guilt and responsibility must be unbearable. I feel horrible for this family and truly hope they can find peace and move forward for the other children. This is such a tragedy.
