Tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the Universe and he'll believe you.

Tell him a bench has wet paint on it and he'll have to touch it to be sure.

If something has a tolerance of 72 hours +/- 1 hour, Would 73 hours and 10 minutes be within specification?

Can you interpret the specification as being 70 hours and 30 minutes to 73 hours and 29 minutes?

I am a first year teacher. Some days are good and some are bad, and usually when they're bad, they're REALLY bad. I'm just wondering if there are any other teachers out there with more experience than me who can give me some insight on how they bounce back after one of those terrible days. Sometimes I can't bear the thought of getting up in the morning and dragging myself to work. Other times, it's a joy, but what do I do on those days when I have no energy for my job? How do you get through those days?

I'm an old fogey and would find it useful if I knew the age of the questioner. Then I could adjust my answer to suit the enquirer and not sound like a lecturer or someone who acts as though kids are dumb and don't need to know stuff.

A school district in Austin, Texas has opened up a girl’s only science magnet school. The rational for this school is that girls need to be given extra encouragement to go into science related fields and that they need a school where they can study without having to worry about teenage boys being, well…, boys.

While I certainly agree that dealing with hormonally challenged teenage boys can be a problem for girls during high school, this means that my soon to be high school aged son, who has already been identified as a GT kid in multiple subjects including math and science, will have one less GT science program opportunity to choose from simply because he was born with a Y chromosome.

Frankly, I believe this to be blatant gender based discrimination, especially since this school is funded by my tax dollars?

What do y’all think?

Does my son have grounds for a lawsuit against the school district for not allowing him to attend this school based solely on his gender?
