6:57 am

doseffing

... I've got a fifty year old Oxford Pocket Dictionary and our word is not in there so it may be just too new for Enable ... it may be that it wasn't used before Diana Troi in STNG ... and we're all just so accustomed to using it

hurshy

teehee

9:47 am

hurshy

phantom: petunia

9:57 am

BzznBea

hurshy, is your frustration due to SCOTUS?

9:58 am

hurshy

lol, no, but, now that you mention it, that is pretty maddening

10:00 am

hurshy

my frustration was about the problem of high schools and kids having cell phones

10:02 am

hurshy

just had a debrief meeting about this past year, and i argued that there needs to be a school-wide standard that when you go into a class you deposit your phone in a slot, because just saying "no phones in class" does diddly squat. was basically told it's hopeless, nothing's going to happen, we just have to live with kids constantly texting and playing games ...

10:03 am

ChampFit

That sucks. Your way makes sense!

10:04 am

hurshy

the thing is, if a kid refuses to give up their phone, they're not really imposing any consequences for it

10:05 am

hurshy

so basically the kids are just ... in charge

10:05 am

ChampFit

Hate to hear that.

10:11 am

hurshy

alea

10:11 am

hurshy

scuse me

10:11 am

moolingwa
