Re: Do children need letter/number grades?

Smart kids also need validation! Everyone always says that for non-academic kids, camp is their "time to shine." During the school year, smart children are told to stay quiet about their abilities so as not to make the less intelligent children feel bad.

Why is a carpool called a carpool? Because it's usually done with a car.

Yeah, but you don't want to glide around your kitchen while holding a cake batter.

Re: Duolingo Yiddish

In general, I found the course lacking. Of course, that could just be because it's still in beta.

Re: Difference between "it's not" and "it isn't"

The same applies to "we're not" and "we aren't". "We aren't" is usually saying that we aren't, but others may. "We're not" is a strong statement that we are NOT doing whatever it is.

Re: Difference between "it's not" and "it isn't"

"It's not true" sounds better than "It isn't true!" I think writing out "it's not" puts more emphasis on the "not" part.

Re: Sarcastically giving someone a "bracha".

It is usually worth not knowing! The not knowing isn't about general knowledge in this context. It's usually about not having first-hand experience.

Since most people know Dr. doesn't mean medical doctor it isn't fraudulent.
