  • I live in MA and currently attend community college. My school charges $185 per credit hour so my 12 hours this semester, before fees and books, came to $2220. All of the credits I have earned will transfer directly to UMass Amherst. Three years from start to finish and I'll be an RN with a BSN.

  • This church has been around for 10 years. If she meets the requirements for an exemption as laid out by the school district then she should get to wear the nose ring. It's no different than a Jewish boy being able to wear a yarmulke at a school that doesn't allow hats.

• Children's bike ride to school spurs controversy

  Wed Jul 7, 2010

• Is it OK to discipline other people's children?

  Mon Jul 26, 2010
  • I think a verbal reprimand and a call to the Mom of the 5th grader caught stealing is fine but spanking someone's child is wrong and will probably get you in trouble with the law.
