Chat Thread: There’s a party downtown near 5th street. Everybody on the thread is getting tipsy

My daughter's Chemistry teacher quit mid-semester last year. The school's solution was to have the students complete an online class. The kids all finished in three weeks and they all made an A. Amazing learning. No teacher required. And they all got more free time !

This is interesting, because you would think that if there was one class you needed to be physically present and have teacher supervision would be a chemistry lab.

What's the point of underwear?

you'll know when you hit 50

I've got at least half a dozen friends from high school and college who have basically drunk themselves to death before age 50 or earlier and another who's in the ICU. Not a good way to go.

This is also the same summer I'm required to take AP training. I was given the option of driving back and forth to Raleigh each day or paying for my own hotel because there's no money available for reimbursement. I also don't get mileage.

I don't know nothing about nothing, but this sounds illegal to me. Are you part of a union?

 

[Milhouse]

having your nuts bit off by a laplander, that's the way I wanna go

You're not from around here.

Haven't lived in that backwards state since I graduated in May 2000

Which ties in to what the point of underwear is…

Requiring someone to come out of pocket for a work expense that is a condition to employment would seem to violate federal labor laws

Depends on the exempt status of said employee.

If someone gets paid a salary and is non-union the company or organization can do whatever the hell they want

The museums and open spaces are nice. College areas are cool too.

This seems like training that could be delivered remotely and/or asynchronously (self-paced).
