Cp3 team’s flameouts are always crazy

They should've never allowed you to enroll in all honesty. Be grateful

BIG LEEMELONE is NikeTalk for NIMBY

When I moved to the states they held me back a grade... But I skipped a grade in Jamaica so it evened out. They just be doing stuff for the sake of doing stuff.

Imagine going through a first grade curriculum twice. Cause 2+2 and what is a triangle is somehow different in America than it is everywhere else.

They don't even measure distance and volume right here and are telling ME that EYE don't know things.

I had already started HS in St.Lucia when I moved to the states. HS in Lucia runs the age American equivalent of grades 7 thru 11.

When my mom was registering us for school, the first counselor we saw at the county office thought it was silly to send me back to middle school so he was going to advance me a grade. He thought it would be cool because I had already taken a year of Algebra in Lucia, and 8th and 9th-grade classes in my county were so similar.

It was all said and done, he just had to get his coworker to enter it into the system. The coworker was a busybody middle-aged white woman, and she threw a fit in the office, called their supervisors, and made sure I was sent to 8th grade.

I hated American middle school

When my mother came here they also placed her in Middle School even though she was already at the HS equivalent back home. Time wasted in her eyes. So when I came around she didn't want me to go to school here but also didn't want me to stay on the island.

The compromise was me doing double the work required my entire childhood to ensure I was where I "should be" compared to America's standards. Couldn't even fully enjoy my summers or weekends because I got 2 sets of homework to complete, the school's and hers

It was mostly fine except for things like spelling, grammar and pronunciation where I'm learning british from her and american from school She telling me to ignore the teachers cuz "Americans ruined the Queen's english" I stuck more to american as I got older though, but my sister still uses british spelling constantly.

I do a mix. Not putting a U in "Behaviour" or "Colour" makes no sense to me. But I don't spell it "Defence"

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Im using your lingo man . “Put up numbers”. Is that better for you?

It seems real to you, so just asking your opinion on Jokic, based on the standards you set for Luka. Don’t try to dodge it . I told you how I felt

Man we been had this discussion many times about the bubble. It's just interesting when it comes to somebody you champion now you want credit for the "fake bubble". Don't work like that.

"Colour" was the hardest one for me to let go. That **** had me stressed as a kid for no good reason

This has been one of the more curious injuries I can remember in recent history. Too bad Bulls fans stopped posting in early November to provide insight


Really wonder what is going on here. Hope he can make a comeback one day

Lonzo is done

 

[RustyShackleford]

That Lonzo story is wild

I blame Lavar and the BBB kicks

Scoot

They should fly Wemby in to sit courtside.

Win-Win

Trust in Brodie to bring the best out of Ayton. That best still probably underwhelming but it’s the best nonetheless.

+11 wins & LA can finally start the szn.

 

[James_O]

I really hope he plays Thursday night

 

[datznasty]

He might get it against OKC, or be on pace to and thus get our game flexed onto National TV, being the 2nd time since the 2020 Playoffs

 

[finessence]

Add that on top of the fact that, sadly, a lot of people who work for American public schools are just generally inept. Big problems.

Get paid peanuts…. to deal with these idiotic kids and their parents? I’d be inept too

 

[smedroc]

Be sick if Bron can line up the record so he needs a 50 piece to break it.

Absolutely. It’s more of a system than a people problem.

He should go nuts and get 101 to take that record too…

 

[geno90221]

Bron just needs to have fun tonight
