The key is 'to one of my people' here. You can charge interest, just not to your fellow countryman.

Edited to add: There is more far nuance to this than I'm familiar with, but I'm pretty sure that's the basic idea.

It might be silly, but I love this picture.every time I see it.

I really want to know the background on it. Where and when was it? Who was playing? Did she intentionally kick him? Did she know him? Does she still? Was the picture a happy accident or did they know it was coming?

The world needs to know the answers to these pressing questions.

A 4 string PJ with a transparent purple finish, gorgeous grain, black hardware, bwb pickguard and a drop tuner. I'm pretty sure I've seen one of these by Lakland, but I'm not familiar enough with their necks to know if that's the exact one for me.

Edit: Yeah it was Lakland. Skyline 44-64 GZ in translucent purple. Look like I'd have to add the drop tuner myself.

Hey sorry, I really wasn't looking for a long argument here, just wanted to clarify my earlier comment.

But yes, we have different viewpoints. I have kids. I would feel responsible for the window because it's my kid and that's reasonable and what society expects. If my kid wanted to talk to their teacher about something in private I'm ok with that.

They obviously won't share literally everything, but if my kids have a problem trusting me then I'm failing as a parent.

Perhaps therapist was the wrong word. Many schools have health officers who act as emotional support staff that work with students.

I believe all educators have a duty to the well-being of the student ovet the parents. Students are people too, not a thing that parents own until they turn 18. They should be afforded confidentiality too.

Learning everything the hard way has made me a natural consultant and mentor. Because I’ve already explored all the wrong paths, I often know someone is stuck before they do, understand what threw them off course, and show them how to get back on track

This really hits home and is something I simply don't see often in juniors today - a desire to tinker, experiment or 'play' to figure out how a problem might be solved. I'm always telling them to allow themselves to struggle for at least an hour or two before asking for help.

Personally, I think the phrase 'colored people' sounds negative and offensive today. I have to assume this wasn't always the case since it makes up 40% of the NAACP's name.

Edited to add - I should have said 'potentially offensive'. I do feel like the context in how it was used matters in this case. Our perception of things sometimes changes over time. If we have truely decided as a society to avoid the phrase entirely, then perhaps it's time to rename the NAACP?

Yep. Pick a note and figure out if you need to go higher or lower. Eventually you'll get good at this and you will start closer to the correct note and know more instinctively how far off you are. After that you'll get a feel for common patterns and start to hear those in the music too, making the whole process quicker.
