  1. We are with Connections Academy, which is built by Pearson. We are sorta in HISD, but also more like home school. He doesn’t have to go to class, but has to engage twice a week. It’s working for us - he’s in the top percentage for state tests, so I’m good with it. That said - I can absolutely see a church doing that type of set up.
  2. As the parent of a kid that does online public education at home - it’s a bad idea for the masses. You have to be able to co-teach at the very least. Most people don’t have the ability to stay home with their kid. I can see them moving to online with “teachers” in large rooms.
  3. It worked a couple of weeks ago. I’m on the work list for them to come out. Just wanted to make sure I didn’t skip a step.
  4. My brand new Pentair Heater is already not igniting. At least everything is under warranty. Should I fire up the heater once a week or so in the off season?
  5. Neighbor is selling their house. Got a drone shot of my pool.
  6. Lewis just waited till Russel messed up. Carlos drove a brilliant race. That was fun
  7. It’s available. Sent you a message
  8. Russel and Sainz going to crash again into the first corner?
  9. Exactly. Everything we buy now is on CC for points. Then, just transfer that money over.
  10. Where are you located? I hired Cynthia Singleton. I’m in Fort Bend ISD. I think she’s in Houston. She is VERY detailed. She is also very firm, but polite. My first ARD with her was 3 hours. She really knows the laws and rules. https://advocate-well.thinkific.com
  11. He’s turning into a cyclist.
  12. Square Peg.
  13. Free to a Longhorn on the west side of Houston: I have a compound bow taking up space in my garage. I do not hunt and would like to give this to someone that could use it.
  14. Lando passed Piastri on track. They hit tires. Even As a Hamilton fan, that was a weak penalty. They should have a pit drive through, ala NASCAR, but I’m not sure if that’s safe.
  15. Same. Jumped on ESPN app and watched the end.
  16. History tends to repeat
  17. They won’t have a chance. Max and the two Ferraris are crashing in the first corner.
  18. Gotcha. I’ve really liked YTTV.
  19. As a gun owner - I’m now in the Prohibitionist camp. I’ll turn mine in when it’s time. Till then, they are in a safe.
  20. Not last race. Ended at 2 hours.
  21. The Uvalde killer was a legal citizen that was legally armed. He legally purchased two AR platform rifles from a federally licensed gun store on two days: May 17 — just a day after his birthday — and May 20, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said. Hip hip hooray for legally armed citizens.
  22. Nice!! The wife has an M340i. I drive it on the weekends. Damn fun car. [emoji1591][emoji1591]
  23. My son is enrolled in Connections Academy, which makes us part of HISD. It’s been great.
  24. If you got the school testing and placement route - I highly recommend hiring a good advocate if you are financially able. They can help set up your IEP and BIP’s. Ours knew the laws and rules that the schools have to follow. Also, get everything In writing and document everything. A massive paper trail is your friend. The behavior program failed us. It also helped one of my sons friends and last I heard he was adjusting to general Ed well.
  25. I don’t see that as a schtick… I see that a legit problem in the US that your father never should have faced. Capitalism isn’t all bad - unregulated capitalism is terrible.
