ParticipantAll joking aside, I dated a private school teacher who was trying to get certified for teaching in public schools. Private school was paying her about 40 grand a year, and she lived in an expensive part of NJ.
She had two masters’ degrees, spoke the languages she wanted to teach fluently (knowing one of them from childhood). Yet the certification process was still mind-numbingly bureaucratic, bordering on the insane.
If teachers are subjected to that level of crap at work as well as before employment, no wonder that many of them are sick and stressed.
And remember that the 180-200 days that school is in session is only a part of it. They still have to do grading, professional development, curriculum design, etc outside of school hours. Plus quite a few of them are roped into teaching summer school and things like that.
Unless you come from money, have no student loan debt, or are willing to put up with a lot of crap, public school teaching doesn’t seem like an easy business.
ParticipantRemember that kids will lose in-state access to the U of C system if you move to Texas. Of course, UT is also reputed to be good.
ParticipantDeck the lawyers with kerosene …
(OK, this doesn’t scan.)
One thing I noticed in San Diego is that you don’t see many kids walking to school outside of groups. In NYC and towns in NJ, kids walk (or even take public transit) by themselves.
Makes you think the kind of coddled babies that CA is raising.
ParticipantSooner live in the NJ burbs outside of NYC — still haven’t recovered either. Moving to Texas means that you have to live in fucking Texas.
I’m not surprised that the Syrians are angry about being stuck in Hayseed, Indiana. There are a few states with large Middle Eastern populations. NY, NJ, MI, IL(?), CA, and TX. Indiana ain’t one of ’em. Living as a recent immigrant with no support network plainly sucks.
ParticipantTrident missile? Hope the test failed — each one of those things represents a million or so dead people.
(Yes, I know the test was unarmed.)
Also, if that’s what a missile warhead re-entry looks like, seeing something like that in future will not give me a very comfortable feeling.
Participant.
ParticipantVogons!
ParticipantWho cares? It’s a trucklet. At least the Model S is low, sleek, and attractive.
ParticipantFeed it random soundtracks from TV programs just to mess with its head.
Edit: haha, searching for “Neilsen device” yields entirely different results than what I thought.
ParticipantWho cares about the tickers? All of that info is available online (in non-delayed fashion). You can create a customized dashboard to display what you want.
Tickers on CNBC and whatever else are irrelevant in 2015.
ParticipantLawyers are like doctors, everyone loves to hate ’em till they need them.
ParticipantGood!
November 5, 2015 at 8:39 AM in reply to: Need help…lease-back or extend escrow? Pros & cons? Other options? #791035ParticipantThe real question is, what can the bank do to you if you legitimately intend to occupy the property and leaseback exceeds 60 days?
(1) Zero likelihood of jail/prosecution, would be really bad publicity, and would make default much more likely. Not what they need right now.
(2) Calling back the loan would be unlikely, banks do not want to foreclose (and have bigger fish to fry right now).
(3) Some sort of warning letter? By which time, the home would be a primary anyway and the violation would be cured.
(4) I suppose they could do a FinCen report and make it harder to get a loan down the line.ParticipantNah, not TX. NJ has enough foreclosures and short sales to keep me happy for a while, and NYC is a better place to live than anywhere in TX.
