    The formula has changed to fund schools by district rather than by student. This removes the incentive for districts to accept students from other school districts. Sucks for parents transferring to be better district. I don't know why the state made this change, they probably thought they...

    Anybody else think that the wrong emphasis is applied in judging a person's value to society?

    Very popular youtube series, 'Fantastic Adventures', run by very abusive sociopath.

    Millions watched her kids on YouTube. Off-screen, she was beating and starving them, police say. Greedy bitch adopted these kids to exploit them for profit. I wonder how many other youtube channels have a similar dynamic. Hope she rots in prison along with her biological sons.

    Suicide is sometimes incomprehensible, other times it isn't

    US Olympic cycling medalist Kelly Catlin dies at 23 I have personally had 3 people I've known commit suicide, each time it effected me for years. This woman seems to have had absolutely no reason to end her life. Yet she did. Perhaps it will be learned what led her to this choice. No, I...
