mermaid911 @mermaid911 (798) • Philippines 3 Oct 07

Does it really mean that teachers who have more qualification, teach better than those who are less qualified?

luvadeal46 I believe experience should be looked at when hiring someone for a position rather than does he or she have a master's degree. A degree is good and beneficial however a person that has years of experience working in the same field as the person who has a...

luvadeal46 Hi I believe that their has to be proof that these twins are being abused.. I do not believe they can take the twins based on the fact that she lost her other two children.(I am not saying this is right but I do believe this is how it works.) What happened...

Is it "immoral" to lock a 3 year old in their room, even to keep them safe?

Tatsuya @Tatsuya (1149) • United States 10 Mar 07

Here's what's going on. My 3 year old gets up in the morning, knocks down the baby gate and gets into stuff. She doesn't wake me up at all, even though I've told her to. So far she's gotten into nail polish, lotion, and a bunch of...
