This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

My wife is a teacher in low income area of NYC by DBCooper
She wasn’t the one who had the issue with wearing extra layers. It was the admin and parents (gasp!) fearing for the kids in the sub freezing temps. The school is 150 years old, it doesn’t work like a normal house. And windows that require polls to open up are not something you can just open and close every 15 minutes at your leisure.
I strongly suggest you give up on your incessant arrogant view of the topic and realize you don’t have all the answers and things are not as simple as you believe. You are better than that.
