The ones in DFW are definitely not cheap. We went to see Pitch Perfect 2 on Sunday at the Alamo Draft House. Even without alcohol, the bill was...
I feel this way about Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan--saw them in the theater, noted that they were important films but never need to...
I also loved Vacation, and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. My teenager enjoys Can't Buy Me Love with Patrick Dempsey from 1987 (she's also...
Personally, I listened to the Doors and the Beatles. The Stones and Clapton still had a presence in the 80's and beyond. I suppose we all...
Maybe I'm completely nostalgic, and to a degree, I agree with you about films (because my parents had me watching classic flims all of the time)....
The hole punch is about a foot long by 6 inches. I have a table there where I would stand and hit the mofo on the head. I might die, but I'll...
My weapon of choice is an iron three-hole punch I inherited from a retiring teacher about 17 years ago. She'd probably had it since the 50's, and...
I definitely was a teen then. In high school from 1984-1988.
Fast Times does hold up, actually. My teenager loves it--especially Jeff Spicoli and Mr. Hand interactions. There are some really funny things...
This is what I tell my students. To them, the ultimate insult is, "They're OLD." You either get old or get dead--take your pick. A few months...
I think so, too. Avoiding a person who looks like a thug is different than avoiding any and all black people because you believe they are all thugs.
But that is not what happened, is it? For whatever reason, LC did not immediately return to BR when first contacted by the police. Shit, the NFL...
You would be surprised, actually. We had a case where some 8th grader stole her grandma's blood pressure meds and was passing them out to her...
But therein lies the point with Shane and Red, I think. Either LC is a true suspect or he isn't. Why would the police putting him off look bad...
Here in Plano, it isn't at all uncommon for top students to field offers from many different schools. One of my daughters was talking about the...
It could be a racist question, implying that for him to be given so many collegiate offers, he must be getting an athletic scholarship. That...
For years, I laughed at the idea of cultural bias in standardized testing. However, as each Texas standardized assessment is ramped up and as the...
For quite a while, Dylan Kliebold and the other Columbine dude were called loners who were bullied. A few years ago, the security specialist for...
This is a good point. Yes, there are likely some "good ol' boys" who do, in fact, mean black/n-word when they say thug...or democrat. Idiots.
I'm sure that some people might see it as a racial term. I do not, as I have not heard it used just for people of color; however, others might...
