you had 2 hours per class in high school?  that sounds like a terrible idea.

 

It was better.  You don't have 6 subjects of homework a night.  You don't have to move 6 times a day.

We got 15 minutes in between each class to hang out before the next class starts.  

 

Most teachers didn't want to teach/lecture the entire 2 hours so they would give you time to do your homework while in class.

i figured it was impossible to keep the attention span of kids long.  it makes sense to have down time each period, but it still strikes me as kind of a waste.  learn mother *****.

Depending on how old Royale is, attention spans were different "back in the day".  The internet has changed attention spans drastically, and not for the better.

My high school didn't have lockers.  We were on block scheduling so only 3 classes a day....2 hours for each class.  You only carried 3 books a day.

So we couldn't stuff nerds in the locker....

My son's high school schedule is also in the block format.  About 1:20 per class.  Beginning last year, lockers were optional; no one uses them.  They all live out of their backpacks.

 

When he was in middle school, homework took him - literally - 2-3 hours per night.  It was brutal.  High school has been so much better.  With the long class times, most teachers let the kids work on what WOULD be homework for the last 30-40 minutes.  Throw a couple study halls/week in, and a little time after school in the library ... when he gets home, he puts school behind him on most days.  Last year, the only school work he did at home, really, was studying for tests.

The thing that annoys me most about Bloated Bob is how all he can talk about is "greatest franchise ever, greatest qb ever, greatest coach ever blah blah" 

He has this strange need to validate their success by putting other dynasties down, and making it seem like nobody has ever even been close to that good before.   Its part pride and he should be proud--I get that--but after awhile it comes off as insecure and pathetic.

I guess it comes down to class.  They've had an incredible run, but I've always felt the Pats lacked class.  Guys like Edelman, Gronk, Belichick.  Great at their jobs but they could use a little more Marv Levy and a little less Bob Kraft.

Did your parents know that public school was free?

they did, but they insisted that we go to one specific school.  i think they felt it was that, or bail money.

I begrudgingly respect Belichick, can barely stomach Brady but can’t stand Kraft, especially paired up with Bon Jovi. He’s a 78 year old geezer trying to act like he’s 28. Lobbying for an imprisoned rapper, hitting on massage hoes to standing bewildered on stage with Bon Jovi, feebly clapping his hands to an ancient song. What a fool. I thought that when his wife was alive that he was a somewhat a respectable old billionaire but since she has been gone this guy has gone off the cliff. I’m surprised he wasn’t wearing that outdated blue dress shirt with the white collar for the millionth time. I can barely wait for that whole New England thing over there goes down the tubes. It shouldn’t be too much longer now!

Oops, I forgot the link.

 

 

Looks like he is having fun to me- good for him! 78 years old and a bucket full of cash- have at it Mr Craft. To the OP- hopefully you can take some lessons from him and not turn into a bitter old man but it seems you are on your way.

The only annoying part to me as he projected himself to be this wholesome loving husband who lost his wife ( which I don’t wish on anyone ), and now is in massage parlors with minors.  I can almost understand if he had no knowledge of the sex trafficking thing, as how would someone know, not that I’ve been to one as that is gross, but if he really wanted company as he may be lonely, why not have his staff find some high class highly confidential and expensive escort service.  

 

It it just screams of stupid.  Sad thing is nothing will happen from it.

 

There were no minors.  There was no sex trafficking.

If you were 80 years old and worth billions, you'd be doing the same stupid stuff!

Nothing wrong with having fun at any age, but singing Livin on a Prayer with JBJ and a bunch of random B listers doesn’t make Kraft as cool as he thinks he is.

I have no idea if you have kids, but I'll promise you one thing if you do, they don't think you were as cool as you thought you were either!

The nearest private school to me charges $1,400 a month.  That's more than my property tax.

i'd say that's in the ballpark of the local private schools.  depend on the grade and school itself, if varies within a few thousand of that a year.  hell, it's about what we pay for daycare when our daughter goes full time.

My first daycare was $1,600 a month.  First time parents, wanted the best for the baby.

A year later, we found a church that only charges $900 a month.  

 

Oh yeah... can’t get off topic.  Robert Kraft isn't a great dancer.

No he is not. But does anyone look good next to Jamie Foxx?

He’ll make me pay him in sex. At least that’s how it worked in the past.

I’m kind of with Tipster here. I HATE when people try to reinvent themselves. Kraft, inevitably got stuffed in lockers throughout his high school years. He ended up with some money and then tried to become the coolest guy in the room. However, you see how awkward it looks and realize he’s the same guy that was stuffed in lockers some 55 years earlier. The only difference is Bon Jovi is now 7 feet away from this nerd.

You just summed up my feelings perfectly. Nothing wrong with having fun, but things like dancing with Cardi B and getting involved in the Meek Mill situation make Kraft look like an old man who’s trying to be hip and relevant.  People of all ages are entitled to fun,  but some of it seems slightly attention seeking. My thoughts are also clouded by the fact he owns the Pats.

...are we REALLY that effed up that berating a 78 yer old widower is having some fun in his life?.....or is it solely reserved because he's the Pats owner?........can we be sinking that low and that fast?.......testament to a societal mess and save the cheater crap......SMH.......

I think that the fact that he owns the Patriots certainly plays a part (and potentially a big one). I think that hanging around Meek Mill and Cardi B feels SO INCREDIBLY FORCED that he should be clowned on for it. He’s 78 and trying so hard to “look like one of the cool kids.” People see right through that nonsense.

 

It’s great that he’s 78 and wants to have fun. He should be enjoying time on a yacht, at a Michelin rated restaurant, traveling the world and seeking the company of a beautiful, successful woman 25 years his junior. He shouldn’t be rolling with 30 year-old wannabe actresses and rap stars.

..any particular reason as to why you feel commissioned or empowered as to what the hell Bob Kraft does with his money or life?...seriously?????....jealousy?.....solely Pats bias?....how many other 78 year old billionaire "life enjoying" widowers have escaped your radar with no comment?....naw you're not biased.......and you want to be credible?....SMH...
