    Actually, do you know how much research I had to do for this?? Forget about the juggling logistics and communications.
    Thank god there was some Internet...I can't imagine trying to figure this out by just physical manuals and info-gathering phone-calls

    I wanna watch this week's episode so bad, but I gotta wait until hubs gets home tonight. It's our Monday night ritual: John Oliver and any Sunday night TV we missed.

    Going to Moscow to see Edward Snowden? I wasn't expecting that.

    Oh my GOD. That piece with Edward Snowden was great! I only wish it were school-appropriate, because it explains it perfectly in terms anyone can understand.

    It's often frustrating that the things the kids are most likely to understand are the ones you aren't allowed to bring to school.
    Jadzia knew that if she could could use dice or dominoes for her math problems the kids would be better able to grasp many the questions but at her school nothing that could be used for gambling was allowed (she did bring some 12 sided D&D dice).
    She also threatened to do word problems in dealing weed since she knew at least half the kids could break that down no problem.

    For that matter word problems that involved toboggans, a term most of the kids had never heard or seen, were pretty useless.
    While up here in Alaska word problems where the question mentioned the amount of snow got questions from the Inuit kids as to what kind of snow since to them it made a difference. /end rant/

    I dumbed it down today in class and used the example of sending pictures to friends. The kids were able to fill in the rest with their dirty, little minds, I'm sure. Either way, my kids know what Section 215 is!

    I gotta say, as a soccer fan, I appreciate all of the attention John Oliver has brought to the workings of FIFA.

    If you haven't seen his stand up, you really must.
    This is hysterical.



    Kenya has three apples and America wants those apples, how many apples does Kenya have?

    I'd wager there's a few more then five hockey rinks in Canada. Maybe more rinks then bears.
