In Gods We Trust?

True. Bullying doesn't have to be physical to cause issues. The parents should shoulder at least half if not more of the responsibilities as well. Some parents, myself included, sometimes feel entitled to blame the school for everything because that was the easiest way to get away from a...

http://www.ocregister.com/articles/city-671241-county-orange.html: "Following in the footsteps of more than half of Orange County cities, Irvine on Tuesday is set to consider displaying the phrase ?In God We Trust? in its council chambers." Leaders representing 5 or 6 different religions (I...

You probably saw this article last week :http://www.ocregister.com/articles/irvine-674460-wage-city.html Here is the other side of the story:http://www.ocregister.com/articles/irvine-675218-ordinance-employees.html What is your take on this issue?

Nevermind.

The article in the first post forgot to mention Claas Stubbe, a uni high student who committed suicide in 2012 due to bullying. IUSD really should be held accountable for the welfare of the kids. It seems that all these pleads have fallen on deaf ears.

To TLONL, our own Edward Snowden. We need to take this to reddit.

Come on, TLONL, tell us what happened since you are hanging around. Is this a hubby and wife thing? Huh? The suspense is killing us.

My guess is that this whole incident was an act of threat or revenge. TLONL had an issue with Admin. Admin couldn't care less about TLONL's contribution to the forum and allowed TLONL to remove his/her posts. Settling personal differences like this is a bit, hmmm, must be very satisfying to both...

He seems to have left behind this thread. But why, why this one? http://www.talkirvine.com/index.php/topic,13273.msg267142.html#msg267142

When you ask one of your kids to pick up the mess in the bathroom and he/she says "It wasn't me".

I don't understand it because I can only see Yin and Yang. But I do foresee that there would be complications if people are allowed to arbitrarily identify themselves. Do they need to carry a paper of some sort to show in case people questions their restroom choice? I wonder if Caitlyn Jenner...

House-cleaning gone wrong?

Don't worry. It's for Asian students only.

Qwerty, I really like the way that they didn't use those ugly quarter round molding. Your floor shows true workmanship. I'll definitely look them up. Thanks for the picture.

Paris,  does every bedroom have a walk-in closet?  We totally underestimated the 'wants' of our kids and the whole house is littered with toys everywhere you look. It's been one of the main criteria for us now. Other important ones include of course a bathroom for each room, and a 3-car garage.

I was at Zurich airport years ago waiting for a connecting flight. The staff members who made announcements at boarding gates would make the same announcement in 4 languages with absolute proficiency. German, Italian, French and English. Man it was eye-opening to me.

Let's just say that I held onto my mullet until 1992 when a redneck by the name of Billy Cyrus. ruined it for me. It's hard for men to change hair style and their hairdresser.

You don't need the perfect house to have a perfect home. A brand new home will definitely make everyone happy. It doesn't need to be fancy and big. When your kids are little, they don't know the difference between a big house and a small house.  When they reach adolescence, they are so into...

Back to the original topic, what level of proficiency do you expect your children to reach in your native language?  Do you expect them to be able to read and write at high school equivalent level? Also, from a practical perspective, do you expect them to be able to read literature and watch...
