it depends. i live in bedminster. the school here is great, but we could just as easily be part of somerset hills regional and still have our actual school and have our kids go to bernards hs in the normal way and not on a send-receive which costs more money.

I’m 5’1” I have a Nissan pathfinder. I open the doors and stand inside the doorway of car to brush it off. It’s a bitch but I get it done. I take 2 highways to work and I don’t want ice flying off my roof going thru someone’s windshield.

I’m trying to to find something to substantiate your claim and I’m coming up a little short. But I do see bad schools in states with otherwise great schools, especially in Massachusetts. I see that Florida is in the top 20 for graduation rates in the country. And I’d say teachers are not paid what they deserve in any state. I’ll add that teacher pay has been a long contested issue in NJ, so hard to point the finger from where we stand (NJ).

I’m sorry it took me so long to see this reply but I very much appreciate you taking the time to elaborate for me everyone on this sub.

I definitely agree that we need change in our legislature to specifically hold these adults more accountable. It baffles me that the ADULTS are rarely held accountable for failing to protect a minor and allowing this to happen in high schools. My own experience was atrocious and when I was attacked the school always blamed me. I’m an adult and healed from that long ago but this story just broke my damn heart. When you work with minors you’re supposed to be held accountable for failing to report concerns for their safety. I just cannot fathom how this is thrown out the door in our high schools.

I went through the whole thyroid cancer diagnosis + treatment + follow up experience with good old marketplace insurance, and it sucked, but it could have been way worse and they did pay for a lot of stuff. They never let me hit my deductible, which is bullshit (I was forever $7 short, somehow) and that’s a different gripe altogether, but they did pay a lot without hitting the deductible.

i was at one of the clubs and there were a bunch of girls climbed into the the platforms to dance and her tampon string was dangling around.

another time this woman was so drunk i guess she just came out of the bathroom but her dress was pulled all the way up and she was walking down the casino area holding her shoes stumbling i hope she made it back to her room.
