Ive talked to several WW2 vets who served in Europe and they all said this series was about as realistic
as they have seen

Watched American Sniper on Saturday night. First time I've seen it. BIL was on SEAL team 3 with Chris Kyle, and still has his cell number in his phone and refuses to delete it. 

I held it together until the real motorcade and funeral footage at the end.

This is probably half true. As OAM said, you could probably put the work into making it happen. It would take a bunch of time and probably cost you and the other parents (and local non-parents) money in the long term.

This issue, of course, is that parents as a group are probably getting the most out of the arrangement. Like a relatively ridiculous amount of value. Which of course means sort of bad position when it comes to not catching extra responsibility.

THis is what gets lost.
Strip all the other stuff away and what is it?  You're kid is getting an education for 13 years.  For free.  By people who aren't in it for the money and take an emotional stake in their students' success.

Sorry if you have two different dismissal times at different sites.  It's not ideal, but it is extremely likely the system that screws the fewest people.

It's not about the two different sites. That's just my own little wrinkle.

It's about not having a consistent M-F schedule.

Awe poor Jenny. It's so hard being famous and having 50 trillion dollars and still getting everything for free.

She looks great for 52 though.

By the way- I had no idea until I read this- don't watch that stupid AppleTV+ trash or any of the garbage they make- but she's getting paid $2 million PER episode by Apple for that show she's on. They've done 20 episodes. That's $40 million. They are paying Reese Witherspoon the exact same salary. That's $80 million just for two actresses.

How in the hell is that financially feasible? It can't be. Just shows you that Apple has so much god-damn money they can throw $80 million in the trash can and not even feel it.

I suspect being readily recognizably famous is a pain at times.  You almost can't go anywhere not sheltered from the public eye.  Sure, you can afford post elite secretive resorts and restaurants, but it's still a pain.

Looks stupid as shit. Regardless, my point is they have so much money they literally can burn it on projects that will never make them a cent.

They are paying Steve Carell $1 million an episode. That's $100 million over 2 seasons for 3 actors. Forget paying all the other actors, camera men, set & crew. There is no way Apple is making any money on that show. Insane that they have so much money they can literally piss away hundred million plus and not even feel it. It's like you or me losing $1 at a casino to them.
