Agreed, my girlfriend's school implements iPad use and she has none of these problems. They have a single IT person in the school who setup all the iPads. My gf setup guided access on her 30 ipads to lock them down and the kids only us

In that boat right now, but instead of 5 years in, 1.5 years in. I've been reading books on design patterns (we barely use them, you should get an idea of how bad it is here) and just in general trying to be better.

Yeah, actually I was looking in Jersey City and they were $1500, $4500 is insane to me. I'm from the NY tri-state area but I never bothered trying to live in NYC.

I've moved 5 times in Chicago in the last 5 years, and each time I tried a broker but it was a miserable experience. I ended up finding a place on craigslist each time. I'm looking to move to NYC soon and I all I see are $1500 bro

Sedgwick is teaching his Algorithms course on Coursera, which almost gives a "university course" type education on the subject. Coincidentally, I've been taking Algorithms in school and I find that just watching Sedgwick's 10-30min lectures
