I suppose the irony here would be that if “Fun” had not been disabled by the administrator however, the ADHD kids might be playing the dinosaur game and actually able to listen better (rather than wasting class time attempting to bypass it)

Part of being a nonprofit is that instead of being obligated to drive profits to investors, you must carry out the focus of your mission statement. Money is fuel. It should not ever become such a constraining resource and saying they can ge

It’s one thing to have viewpoints, there are a lot of traditionally conservative ideals that have value, but, like many things, become a nightmare scenario when taken to the extreme. I think the “pathetic” comment is aimed at the fact that

If you’re willing to give some inexperienced companies the benifit of the doubt, you can reasonably assume they just might not have it together yet. I doubt there was mal-intent, it sounds like budgets and headcount got yanked back, which s
