Oh Jesus the food stamp thing. I got them a few times when my daughter was very young. In both states there wasn’t a work requirement; there was a requirement that you fill it a form each week or two stating you applied for jobs.
I was a single mom and got no child support because doing so would have put my daughter in a terrible and unrealistically unsafe position. In the “on” season I made okay money but averaged out over a year, I was told I made too much for assistance. Their cutoff level was SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS A MONTH. The federal poverty level is a fucking joke. THIS YEAR it’s about $16k for a family of two. Minimum wage is $7.25. Average rent in my city is around $1400 per month, and the average income for my city (Austin) is around $36k. So if you Make $36k your rent is around 60% of your income and if you make minimum wage you can’t afford to live here unless it’s under a bridge because you take home pay is around $1100 a month total.

The response would typically be “ok then don’t live in or near a big city.” Ok, what if you have family nearby and that’s your support system, what if you can’t do your particular job in a rural area, what if the noncustodial parent prevents you from leaving? Unfortunately, single working moms Are twice as likely to fall into poverty than anyone else. I’m gonna go jump off a bridge now. |

I never gave up on my dream... I just never had one. Its the most frustrating thing ever. There are no tips on finding your dream. Which always makes me feel like so strange outlier.
Common core math is awesome. It just makes math more accessible, and trains people to understand it better. Back in the day when you got to multiplication tables math became more rote memorization. So things like 5 x 62. Instead of needing pen and paper. You can just break it up and then add. 5 x 6 = 30, so 5 x 60 = 300. 5 x 2 = 10, 300 + 10 = 310. 5 x 62 = 310. So when kids make the jump to algebra and beyond they also have a better understanding of why just opposed to what. Incidentally I use to do math this way and get yelled at for not doing the way they showed. So I feel justified that this is the new way. |
