I don't know what WASl test is but if it is anything like the TAKS test in Texas - then more powe
I hate standardized testing. I hate the way it is pushed and it is the only thing teachers 'preach' on the whole school year. Math and Reading is the big ones here until 5th grade and then science gets added in. Where is history? Where is grammar (no this is not included in the reading test)? Forget these stupid state standardized testing and get back to what is important.... an education!
Lets test the one giving the drug test, and (see message)
Lets make people who need to buy groceries take drug tests. Want to go to McDonalds? Hey need to take a drug test first. Need to renew your car registration - take a drug test. Want to go to a movie, better take a drug test. When will the insanity stop.
Ask before you test..
Just ask before you test if they are willing to pay you X amount if you test well. If they say no, don't bother testing. Good luck!

They don't usually test to put them in certain classes. sm
Sometimes in high school it is a matter of making a schedule work and classes work around students to make a full class, etc. So that may or may not be why she was put in this class. I believe too much is expected out of kids these days and I say let her out of the class or at the least talk to the counselor about her issues. I believe in Physics class it helps a lot to have the other classes first. Otherwise, she would be really lost and it sounds like she might be.

smell test
I can tell when the teacher has hugged my kid because she smells like the perfume the teacher wears.
A school day is long. Better the teacher is kind to your child than mean (and there are both kinds of teachers.)
pregancy test then I was in
My MIL thought I was ridiculous wearing maternitiy clothes at 7 weeks, but I was not going to squeeze into my clothes out of vanity. I bloated, barfed and gained 50 pounds, and afterwards lost all the weight and fit into my old clothes just fine. Enjoy being pregnant. Take a nap and eat ice cream!
I was not aware this was a test question. SM
I answered honestly. I am sorry it was not to your liking. If you want me to agree with you, okay, your ex is nuts and call the police on him. Whatever.
Just remember one thing, troubled people tend to gravatate toward each other in life. Think about it.
Did they do an MRI of her adrenals yet? Test her for Lyme? Our kid

We should use them as test subjects for medication and
I guarantee you start doing some tough punishment and there would be less of that crap going on.
I think they are pretty worthless and not really an IQ test because sm
if you have ever had a Wechsler, you know that those kinds of questions don't play into it. They are mind teasers and trick questions, not something that a Wechsler uses. A Wechsler is several hours long and goes through your math, language, spacial relations and problem solving skills, and it is timed. Part of IQ is how fast you can solve complex problems.
I have taken a Wechsler and while I won't quote you a number, I will say the person who gave it as part of a psychological evaluation, told me he would diagnose me as way too smart for my own good. He stated that I probably didn't suffer fools gladly because I view most of the world as fools. I only fall at the 99.6 percentile on the Bell curve. No, I don't suffer fools gladly, but I try to be nice while others catch up.
Can we drug-test the Senators too?
I don't think connecting unemployment benefits to drug-testing is a good idea. In fact, I don't think drug testing should be random at all. I think it should be reserved for cases that are on a need-to-know basis. And no, I have never used drugs, never tried them. It's a matter of civil liberties and constitutional rights against invasions of our privacy. Next thing you know, they'll be testing us for lipid levels after we're seen frequenting a house of trans-fats.
And while we're on the topic, decriminalizing drugs would go a long way toward reducing drug-related crimes. Nothing is perfect in this discussion though because drugs really are evil. It just becomes a matter of damage control.
They want to make sure that the baby they test for paternity is
actually Anna Nicole's baby and not another baby that is brought and tested for paternity. If someone were to "switch" babies for paternity tetsing only, then Larry Birkhead would be shown as "not the father," so they want to make sure that the baby tested is actualyl Anna Nicole's and that is why they need her DNA.
Criteron-Referenced Comptency Test....sm
and while theoretically kids that do not pass it in the 3rd, 5th and 8th grades will not be passed, in reality very few are truly held back. That's because the schools get "waivers" for those that fail for various reasons, send them to summer school or any reason they can find to pass them anyway.
Schools and the CRCT test inquiry...sm
Out of curiosity here.... in the area you live in, do your schools basically become just a babysitting facility after the CRCTs are administered until the last day of school? I've been through CRCT testing with my children now for 5 years and the minute they finish those tests, from that day on until the last day of school they're watching movies, spending more play time, etc. at school & very little actual school work. It's like the schools are busy teaching the CRCT criteria and once the testing is completed they don't do diddly squat for the last month of school.
What about in your area?
Update on kids' hepatitis test
Had a great vacation. Never crossed my mind the whole week. I took my kids in to the doctor on Monday afternoon and got the test and of course, still do not have the results. It is driving me crazy. I keep doing all these reports on patients with hep B and hep C and my heart just sinks and I feel sick at my stomach! I called the office yesterday and today and still no results back from the lab. On Monday, the doctor did say my daughter would probably be sick by now (will be 8 on Monday), but he is a pediatrician and I know that is not exactly right. My husband has pretty major anxiety issues and that made him feel so much better to hear the doctor say that, so I have just kept my mouth shut about how worried I am and talked to my best friend about it. I did one report and the man was 40 yo and had a remote hx of IV drug use 11 years ago and the only way they found it was through routine lab tests, no symptoms, no signs, not even any past medical history, so I know it still could be that there are just no signs yet. I am trying to stay positive though! I know God gave us these babies for a reason. Just hope the nurse calls me tomorrow with good news!
...another test, but again, I forget what the smell is supposed

That is a good idea--take it for a test drive. ;-) nm

Does it matter what time of day you take a pregnancy test??/
i've read that morning time is the best, but does it really matter? i'm 37, had a tubal after my second pregnancy six years ago. i'm a week and a half late. i've never been this late before. i figured i'd start with taking a home pregnancy test first. i'm anxious to take it and don't want to wait until tomorrow, but heard morning time was the best time.
thanks
Have you see a cardiologist? A tilt table test should
My daughter has this and has had a pacemaker since age 15.
Have the spells been occurring more frequently? Please consider seeing a cardiologist as a first step, at least. Good luck to you.
But doesn't the FDA extensively test drugs before marketing? nm

The courts will now get their DNA test to confirm paternity and whoever the father
really is will be awarded custody. However, given the nature of this case, I am sure the Division of Family Services will be involved no matter what.
See, that's was exactly my initial response to the negative drug test. SM
I felt like relief that my son, even when faced with the temptation, resisted the urge to smoke pot with his friends. I actually congratulated my son and told him how proud I was that he hadn't been taking any drugs or smoking pot. But then I wondered if he should be punished for having a bong in his pack. He obviously didn't use it, but why did he have it?
Now I think I may lift the grounding, but set some rules about him avoiding being around the 23-year-old guy and basically having him check in with me routinely when he is out and as long as he follows the rules, then I'll trust him.
Geez, I don't think I'm going to survive the teenage years and they've only just begun! I can only hope that when my 7yo daughter reaches her teens, she will go a little easier on me!
Thanks everyone for listening and offering your advice.
My kids only act out like that if they are sick - get him a strep test! Has he said his stomach hurt
My kids act terrible when they are sick - many times they have gotten in trouble and then later I find out they are sick. Both of them have had strep several times with NO SORE THROAT, NO FEVER, just stomach pain.
12-year old girl forced to take pregnancy test due to school rumor
NEVADA CITY, Calif. -- A 12-year-old girl was forced to take a pregnancy test at school in Nevada City, a lawsuit filed in Nevada County Superior Court alleges.
The Pacific Justice Institute, which is representing the girl, said in a news release that Steve Davis, a counselor at Seven Hills Middle School, pulled the girl out of class.
KCRA 3 has decided not to name the girl out of protection for her privacy.
Davis heard rumors that she was pregnant and wanted to know if it was true, the release said.
Though she denied it and told Davis a classmate had spread rumors about her in the past, the counselor got a pregnancy test from the school nurse and told the 12-year-old to give a urine sample, the Pacific Justice Institute said.
The pregnancy test was negative.
According to the news release, the girl was embarrassed and humiliated, and her parents were angry when they found out.
They worked with the Pacific Justice Institute to get an apology from the Nevada City School District, but didn't receive one.
The lawsuit, filed Oct. 29, 2008, seeks damages for violation of the girl's right to privacy and emotional distress.
"There is no merit in the claim," Superintendent Roger Steel said. He directed further questions to the district's attorney.
Reached at home Monday night, Davis said he had no comment on the lawsuit.
French toast using texas test bar-b-que bread. Yummy. Potato casserole is sm
the best, too!
southern style potatoes frozen (ore-ida)
1 can cream of chicken soap
8 ounces sour cream
1 stick butter
1 package mild cheddar cheest
mix all ingredients and bake for 45 minutes
Then if you want to add a meat such as ham or bacon you can do that.
EXCELLENT! Whatever you do, please
dont mutilate their claws! I have adopted two lovely males who were butchered in this way and they are OVER-aggressive to compensate for their lack of natural defense.
And this solution really does work. If you say HEY loudly while you spritz them eventually just the HEY will work... they are trainable to a degree.
If you can't get a scratcher box, even a sheet of cardboard will do - good luck!
There is an excellent one, but I don't think

Wow - those are excellent
If I was really into music and guitars or knew anyone really into guitars I'd definitely buy one. The quality of your craftsmanship is excellent!
Hope you do really well with them.

Happy Hanukkah by the way!
Does it start today or tomorrow? I have two calendars that conflict each other.
Excellent!!! More women should do this....
     
This is an excellent post.
How awesome that you took so much time to reply to "exhausted" and yes, it's all very good advice. I've been there, done that also. I wish I had this board to come to years ago, but the advice here is right on the money.
I have an excellent recipe if you want it. sm
just make a note under this message, I'll check later and type it in.
that is excellent advice. sm
i guess my will power just isn't very good right now. we have five acres and i try to get out every day and walk our fenced area, which about five or six times around is a mile. i guess i should put up a picture of myself when i was thinner and have that be a motivation
Excellent suggestion

Thank you all SO MUCH for your excellent info!!! sm
I knew I was doing the right thing to ask you gals. After telling my hubby everything you all said and researching online a bit, he and I agree that - although we THOUGHT we were going to DISNEY WORLD, our kids would actually probably like Universal and Sea World. (And my youngest is 48 inches and rides every roller coaster Six Flags will let him on). Looking at the TV/Movie themes between Disney and Universal, I hate to admit it but they all seem to have outgrown Disney a bit. Is there any sense in staying in the Disney resorts for the specials/perks but mostly going (DRIVING) to other parks? Or if just staying off would be better? I just want to spend the money wisely. ![](http://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/smirlove2.gif")
Excellent post...
This is the same thing we have done with our 19YO...he's responsible, calls and checks in, and is home at a decent hour, so he does not have a curfew. Although, most of his free time is spent with our local Sheriff's deputies...he's yearing to be a deputy one day. Thank goodness he's not quite old enough yet though!
The book was excellent!...sm
I read that when I was around 16 and couldn't put it down. Check it out!

i think that's an excellent idea. Nobody should pay for your

Quite the contrary, it's an excellent and (sm)
proven way to reduce weight and improve your health. There are different phases to low carb. Not all do it for the weight loss, in fact, but the energy and good overall feeling that comes with eliminating processed carbs. If you've never tried it, don't knock it. Once one has achieved their desired weight loss with low carb, they can still maintain a low carb lifestyle without further weight loss. It works and it's proven. The energy that you get back is the biggest plus to this LIFESTYLE - yes, it's a lifestyle, not a "diet."
Wow -these are excellent suggestions
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am 49 years old (feel 69 right now). I'm 189 pounds and lead very very sedentery life. No kids, no activity. I know I need to do some activity but I just can't get motivated. However, I do have an exercise video called Callanetics...very low impact aerobics (slow movements with very relaxing music), so tonight I pulled it out and starting tomorrow going to do that at the end of the work day.
I too have to have my caffeine and one day without it I sure can tell. I'm what you would call "semi-organic" (at least that's what I call it). I refuse to take any medication (not even aspirin when I have a headache). I'm trying to go vegetarian (or more vegetarin) but I do like meat. Just got to lose weight and a bit more exercise.
I'm also ticked as I'm 48 and haven't hit menopause. Bummer big time for me. Just ended my weeklong visit with "my friend" and I can't tell you how much I hate it. I have no kids and don't want any kids ever. Had ectopic pregnancy years ago so only have one ovary and tube and I'm thinking...I'm not a "baby producing machine", yet I'm cursed with these blasted periods. Okay - sorry, that's more of my own emotional problem I have to deal with. I just want the periods to end. Your suggestions of herbal supplements are most interesting and I will be looking into them. Thank you again for your post.
yup it is excellent and dependable
Never had a problem with it in the three years I've been using it.
Oh you wouldn't believe all the free stuff that is available. Whenever I'm looking for something there seems to always be something you can get for free that is equal in comparison (well except a foot pedal and head phones that is. HA HA)
Here's another funny fact - has nothing to do with MT, but DH just found a website and you know all these courses they teach at the big wig universities - you can watch the classes online for free. These are courses from MIT and really expensive universities. So if you were interested in getting your degree completed you could watch the courses, take a test and get your degree for a tenth of what it would cost you to sit in the same lecture class at a fancy university.
That is one thing I love about the internet. There is a wealth of information and knowledge all for free. Talk about living in a great country!
Excellent point!
Excellent response!
Short on time and brain is toast but hey, want to know, keep me in mind and I'll answer too tomorrow probably. I enjoy conversation, even at odds with someone, that is not like what I see up a little further on this page. Thanks.
Excellent post!
