Quick View of Don Jordan:

1. Honor the Teacher - Reach out to All students
2. If it Benefits the Student then Let`s do it
3. College Tuition: Find a long-term solution to tuition increases in South 
Carolina.
4. Education belongs in the hands of our parents, local officials, local 
educational agencies and states.

Common Core Compromise: We need to work with the state advocates and developers 
of Common Core to make sure the original good intent is not lost.

Tuition cost in higher education must stop increasing!

One of the best investments we can make in a child's life is high-quality early 
education.
Education belongs in the hands of our parents, local officials, local 
educational agencies and states. How can teachers hold all children to the same 
standard when they are not all the same?  One of the most distressing 
characteristics of education reformers is that they are hype-focused on how 
students perform, but they ignore how students learn.




We desire to honor the teachers, reach out to all students, review the 
standards,  with teachers in charge, review testing methods of students, reach 
out to poorer areas of South Carolina and motivate students,  showing  them 
they have every opportunity to be as successful as they desire to be. We will 
make an effort to visit every school district in South Carolina in the first 
year of office. Our commitment is to the teachers and to working with the 
legislature and Governor`s Office to make responsible changes that can work.

[USMA:53633] 500 grams of chicken liver

2014-03-17 Thread Pierre Abbat
Yesterday I went to Earth Fare and asked for 500 grams of chicken liver. 
(Usually if I ask for something, it's wings, which I ask for by number.) 
The guy answered Got it and went back to find the right sized 
container. Then he asked me and another guy how much that is. I 
explained that 480 g is the right size for the container I freeze them 
in, and I rounded up, and couldn't he push a button on the scale to set 
it to grams? He couldn't figure out how to use the button. The two of 
them came up with 1 pound 2 ounces, but the scale doesn't display 
ounces. Finally he weighed out some amount. It turned out to be 560 g 
when I got home.
