2sense, I can’t tell whether you’re joking or not, but I’m sorry to say that most people don’t fit that cookie cutter.
kapusta, I don’t know who you are either, but it’s fun to think we might know each other. 🙂
aries2756: I don’t think learning first aid, how to cook, etc. is silly. The only class I really think was silly is my Home Ec class. But that wasn’t even my point. Actually, you pretty much hit on my main grievance here:
In all honesty in all my years post High School, and I am a bubby of quite a few at the moment, I never had to know any of the “mi amar l’mi” post High School ever again. Nor did I have a need to know any dates, that we were tested on through the 4 years. There were thousands of bits and pieces of information that I never had to use again.
When I was in HS, a bunch of my classmates were once venting to a teacher about how they thought a certain class (French) wasn’t a good idea – too much work for not enough application. The teacher answered that that’s not the point of education. We don’t go to school just to acquire skills of tangible value, because in the long run, that’s not enough. Every piece of knowledge you acquire, she said, however trivial it may seem to you, enhances you as a person.
Oh, I actually didn’t mention that in relation to you at all. Hm, were you ever involved with it? ‘:-)
Nu, that was a hint…
Bee pollen?!
Heh heh heh. You mentioned somewhere once roughly when you graduated. What did I mention? The swans?
Ha ha, I drop so much personal info that people have already found me out…
kapusta: No, not yet…give me more time. Try to figure out who I am. 🙂
aries2756: No, it doesn’t. I think it’s a fair extrapolation. though. People are very into trumpeting this idea, but I never hear a single peep about improving other areas of a girl’s education – and don’t say those don’t stand to be improved. Really, I don’t think these classes are a heinous idea in and of themselves – it just bothers me that people place more of a premium on a girl’s kugels than her mind.
I’m not sure we know each other, but I’m pretty sure we graduated close together…so we definitely know of each other.
They could’ve made the class an elective. And made an alternative or two. I didn’t actually hate it all that much. It just irks me that people are soooooo into this idea, and seemingly couldn’t care less if we knew English or math.
No, actually. I can’t think of a single person in my class who didn’t dislike it. And there was only one Hanhala member who was really gung-ho about it. I wouldn’t be so obnoxious as to be so outspoken against something people appreciated (believe it or not).
You have to admit, that class really was ridiculous…
*twists neck around* Eh, I don’t see no red…
No, would I have a way to?
Hmm, it seems you have. 😛
As for my writing style – there were some specimens of it in the ?????…eheheh
Okay, but why would you want to have Joseph as a screen name? (Or are you saying that the mods aren’t giving you any choice…?)
Nu, so what about the spray starch? (Or was that entirely not of your doing. ;))
Sam2: I felt the same way you did a while back, when I was going through lots of not-fun stuff. I used to only daven the minimum, because it not only felt pointless, it was so darn frustrating. But now I feel differently. I’m not going to try to convince you to change, but I just want you to know that it’s possible (even if it reaaaaaaally doesn’t feel that way).
Dude, why is your screen name Joseph?

But seriously, why is “Mount Kisco” on that list? So totally random…
For Wolf: unkempt (kempt is one of my favorite words :D).
Oh, do you live there?
Where on earth is “Mount Kisco”?
Kapusta, did you figure out what HS I went to? 😉
That’s not a nafka meena. I have plenty of friends who hardly knew how to boil water before marriage, and learned how to cook just fine (without any panicking). It’s really not rocket science.
Besides, Queen Bee makes a good point – it’s much so much better to learn cooking, sewing, etc. from your mother or grandmother. Making classes to teach you these skills in effect would put them out of business. My grandmother taught me how to knit and crochet, and I wouldn’t give up her instruction for any amount of egg rolls and fancy napkins. Bonding with her made the whole thing worth it, regardless of what trifling thing she taught me.

writersoul – the story of the pilegesh b’Givah?
I nominate this one:

I don’t know, it just made me laugh. 😀
Modern? Huh? Really?
Nope. Who do you think I am?
Yeah. Go away, you troll.
I was wondering why you got blocked too, iBump.
IMHO = in my honest opinion
It’s a solid place. i am here is right in that it’s mostly Machon girls – but that’s not a bad thing. However, if you are very invested in the idea of a seminary experience (as it sounds like you are), it might not be the right place. It’s really more like a…commuter college, I guess?
Why didn’t you?
I concur (OneOfFew :P). But now I’m really confused – is he impersonating himself now? Is that illegal, too?
P.S. MIB MiB? Mebibyte?
I almost went there…lol
Why is DaasYochid blocked? Did he somehow do that to himself?
