After school reading club canceled due to complaining parents


Posted: Mar 30, 2013

I don't get people.. I really don't.  If you don't want your kid involved, fine, whatever.  Don't kill it for everyone else though.

What might be expected from parents whose children - need this kind of remedial reading

[ In Reply To ..]
encouragement. We let our children stay awake reading in bed for another half hour in if they "weren't sleepy yet." It was a sneaky excuse to get them to read each day that they never caught on to because we read in bed ourselves. It also worked wonderfully. Our son is a natural reader, but our hyperkinetic social butterfly daughter went from a first grader who was reading below average to a book lover who now uses the same technique on her children.

Sam's Club Pub BurgerAug 04, 2015
Hi everyone, Has anyone ever had a Pub Burger from Sam's Club? Not the Bubba Burger, the Pub Burger. Hubby and I took a bite and we simultaneously said "Lestoil." It was awful. I threw mine in the garbage disposal. He ate his. I have no idea if they soaked the meat in Lestoil because it was going bad, if they didn't rinse the mixing bowl of some type of cleaner (like Lestoil), or if there's a spice out there that tastes like Lestoil. I guess I'm wondering if anyone else has ...

A Question For ParentsSep 01, 2016
