Jersey Devil

The Jersey Devil is a creature reported to have inhabited the New Jersey Pinelands woods. The birth date of the legend ranges between 1735-1887. The general description of the jersey devil is a flying biped with hooves. It is usually expressed as being around three foot tall and sometimes emits a human-sounding cry. The Devil most commonly leads to Leeds Point and Pine Barrens.
• Leeds point is now identified as Atlantic City. The name "Leeds" is often connected with the creature. Some say that the mother was named Leeds; others say that the birth took place at Leeds Point. For this reason the monster is sometimes known as the "Leeds Devil”.
• Pine Barrens is a heavily forested area covering 1.1 million acres (4,500 km²) of coastal plain across southern and central New Jersey. This is the wooded area where most of the sightings have occurred. The Pine Barrens is in Ocean County, it’s about 25 miles north of Atlantic City. In conclusion sightings range from Atlantic City to Ocean City.

My children 12, 14 were not doing well in school and really wanted me to home school them. After a year of considering this I chose a program through the district. We just finished our first week. The kids did better than I thought and my son really completed everything quite easily. They really like it, but I am so stressed out making the next weeks schedule. As I look through the teachers guides, I just get so overwhelmed with each subject. Maybe it is because I have two completely different grades to cover. I know this will work better for them in the long run, but now it is so difficult. Does anyone have any suggestion?

In a world filled with low grade service jobs, is a college mis-education really all that valuable?

Yeah, I know the corporations claim to demand it. But by thirty, you are leveraged out of the workforce to low pay jobs anyway... and the truly bright and creative are squeezed out of business to make room for the privileged and the *** kissers.

Maybe at this point college education is just another corporate and bank scam.

I meet college grads every day who are dumber than piles of hay. And I see plenty of wealthy and successful people who came from behind in this regard.

Is it just another feature in our class fractured society?

I am trying to get into a university with a difficult admissions standard. In high school I didn't really care and my grades show is. Most of my grades were C's and a few B's, but I was in honors classes. Now 2 years out, I have been going to community college and have completely changed. I have made A's in every college class I have taken, except history which I took when I was in high school and got a C. My current GPA is 3.85 out of 4. I have 2 honors credits as well. Is this a competitive academic record to get into a decent university? Or will my high school grades come back to haunt me?

When you have to read it from the book afterwards. And the prof dont even allow us to open books in class. All we do is sleep in class or play games on phone.
