@Upliftingvision @Morbidful Common core math at its finest!!! You did well and tried hard so here have a participation trophy…. This is what’s wrong with society today. It’s one thing to tell your child how proud of them you are (you should) it’s another to not help them strive to achieve excellence.

"I gave my 10 year old a math test today. He spent nearly an hour and used four sheets of scratch paper. He worked each problem with intense concentration. And then with a deep breath he handed it to me to be graded. I quickly worked my way through the test and calculated his score. “It’s an 89” I said, “that’s a high B.” Immediately his eyes filled with tears. He had done his best work, given his greatest effort and had still come up short. I looked at my boy and back down at his paper. And then I ripped it in half. My boy is amazing in the kitchen. He can cook a meal for the entire family without breaking a sweat. My boy is incredible at putting things together. He uses tools like a skilled craftsman. My boy is a founding member of the mother/son debate team, (I just made that up) he can persuade me into doing things I never planned to do. My boy is hilarious. He is always the first one to make a joke at the dinner table. My boy is a sensitive soul. He’s kind and gentle when that sort of thing is necessary. My boy is diligent. He will work at something until he feels it’s as good as it can be. My boy is NOT defined by the grade on his math paper. When I ripped that paper up, I looked my boy in the eyes and I told him how I had watched him. How I saw him give his best, how he considered each problem and checked each one until he felt it was complete. I watched him erase and rework problems he was unsure of. I watched him pour every bit of effort in his little body into that test. And I told him I had never been more proud. Children are so much more than test scores. They are so much more than their reading level. They are so much more than the box we try to mold them in to. School is important, education is important but it’s not of highest importance. I am more concerned with how he treats others, with his level of integrity and his desire to serve Jesus than any score on any test. I am more concerned with his ability to learn how to use his talents to earn money for his family. I am more concerned with the character that we are building than the division facts on the paper. Our children should have an opportunity to show us where they excel, especially in the elementary years. I was shocked at the pressure he felt to do well on that test. I never imagined the tears of disappointment that would fall. I admire his ambition and his desire to do well. I have never been more proud of an 89 on a math test." Credit: Sprinkles In My Closet

@choeshow Can’t you just turn off the power and water?

BREAKING: Huge win for Bellevue landlord Jaskaran Singh. Monday morning, a King County court commissioner dismissed the Temporary Protection Order filed against him by serial squatter Sang Kim. It was an easy decision since Kim and an attorney with King County Housing Justice Project showed up more than an hour late for the hearing. They begged for a continuance but the commissioner did not buy it. I saw the HJP playbook first hand. Unload a laundry list of excuses then blame someone else for their failure. Total clown show.

@KTVN That’s heavy! At least on the periodic scale…. 🤷‍♂️🤣

#BREAKING: Emergency crews are on scene of possible mercury spill near the Spanish Springs library. Avoid the area while crews investigate. 2news.com/news/crews-inv…

@CosmosMom1 @KATUNews Could it be that they aren’t allowed to respond to calls unless they are considered violent or have a high risk of violence?

@KATUNews Yes, the cops have been refusing to respond to calls.

The owner of a SE taqueria food cart says residents of a nearby homeless camp have caused around $4,000 worth of break-in damage and threatened and harassed him and his customers - and that the city failed to help. katu.com/news/city-in-c…

@KenRoczen94 Isn’t supercross c-class an oxymoron??? 🤷‍♂️🤣

My Uber driver reminded me of the Supercross C class practice back in the day

@Jason66Thomas Amen my bet it wouldn’t end well for them!!! #idahome

I would not recommend this kind of thing in Idaho

@RoseGoldandMoto Yep I got 4 in….

This is an all time low 🤣

@pulpmx what happened to Tristan Lane? Is he trying to make the #pulpdeathcross show???

@RoseGoldandMoto Nope! 😬🤷‍♂️🤣

Serious Question: If any of y’all have ever had a concussion or traumatic brain injury did you ever regain memory of the incident? Or immediately before the incident? 🧠

@RoseGoldandMoto 🐶

Tell me something good? Bonus points for pictures of dogs or bikes. 📸

@RoseGoldandMoto The system I used was a few years ago so I’m sure there are better models the cardo freecom 4+ seems to be the newest model. When I used the cardo system it was an older model but again it was awesome for voice navigation with gps and playing music via Bluetooth from my phone.

@GYanzick That’s badass! Which built in system would you recommend?

Do any of y’all ride with AirPods? I’m thinking about investing in a pair and was curious if they’d be comfortable under a helmet.
