    Weight loss chart

    Great reference from dsgard. I have not tried this. I have seen the result of too much weight (moisture) loss and too little. I live in NM, so it can be a battle. I may have to work on using the weight loss method.

    3 different temps... 3 different thermometers... what to believe?

    Quote: Great technique. I put a group of thermometers into an empty incubator to compare accuracies. If you know the off-set of a thermometer, you can still live with it. Some of the digital thermometers are precise to tenths, but accurate to 1.5 degrees.

    Concerns about children's education

    Reading the thread, I thought that I would respond to the various conspiracy theories. First, the conspiracy that liberals use the schools to brain wash children. Ten minutes in any teacher lunchroom would show you that teachers are Democrat, Republican, Tea Party, Libertarian, Christian...

    Concerns about children's education

    Me again. If your car was in the shop for a week, would you take the time to call and check on the progress? Doesn't it makes sense to check on your child's progress in school? I have 140 students and get maybe 10 calls a year. I initiate dozens of calls to parents. I send hundreds of...

    Concerns about children's education

    What a hot topic. I thought I'd get my own login so I don't besmirch my dear wife's good name on the list. I have taught college for about 20 years. Four years ago I was asked to teach Science at the local High School. I love it, but I am baffled with peoples perceptions of teaching and...
