ParticipantAdding that low retaining wall adds substantial support to the stability of the slope.
ParticipantI think spraying the exterior is to keep the steel cool to preserve its structural integrity.

ParticipantWhile we are in the de-funding mode lets add: code enforcement, meter maids, EPA,IRS, local govn’t, State Goveners, Super PAC’s, NPR, EIC, social programs, and on and on. I get it, let’s start over.
ParticipantAnother pet peeve of mine is there is no time for any family vacation. Teachers and coaches schedule practices, large projects during school holidays. Of course, not mandatory, but if don’t go you don’t play in next game or some other ding. Kids play along due to peer pressure. Welcome to high school.
Participant[quote=svelte]back to school: it’s a lot more important that your kid attends a school he likes and has a good experience. That will motivate him/her to do well and, as long as they pick a good major and a decent school, it will all work out in the end. Been there, done that. A few times.[/quote]
Best summation of the whole college app worries! Ditto here too.
I will add: Let them be kids. No need to rush them into the real world. Each kid rises on their own internal time line.
ParticipantI think a good strategy is cultivate some good letters of recommendation. Or play some obscure sport like fencing!
ParticipantI did forget about how competitive the parents become with bragging rights. They peacock when kid is accepted to a private and hold there head low when kid is going to a community college. Well, some of them..
ParticipantPersonal essays can make a difference. You hear lots of story’s about admissions. Who know’s how true they ar. Here is one based on a formula: sat+gpa+random multplier= floor to making the min base cut. This number changes each year. Then they look at your writing.
If demographic’s wasn’t a factor in admissions like they say, then why collect it during this phase? Collect it after acceptance.
One AdCom ( admissions counselor ) at a different school told me they could fill the freshman class with all valedictorians. But they want a diverse and ‘interesting’ class.
They have a good point and it would seem you get that data from the extra curriculars and creative writing.
I would suggest having you kid get good at writing 500 word essays. That is a paragraph. They are not taught how to get right to the point in a few words.
