In a lot of Jewish private high schools you get a lot of problems with cheating and stealing, etc. But, a friend of mine went to a Christian private school where they never had proctors for exams (they weren't needed) and ipods were left untouched on desks for weeks without anyone taking them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-56730441521572878822010-01-29T01:09:42.431-05:002010-01-29T01:09:42.431-05:00Sounds like you had a wonderful time! :]

I had to get the mumps (second M of MMR) again before I volunteered at a hospital ER. They had done a blood check to make sure all my vaccines had properly worked (instead of just checking the paper record - such a smart idea!) and it turned out that my mumps vaccine, as well as my hepatitis B vaccine never innoculated me!!! So I had to get them again... they worked this time.Shades of Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02733139852424935591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-10451442922382184202010-01-28T21:31:39.490-05:002010-01-28T21:31:39.490-05:00The same honor system exists in Landers and in som...The same honor system exists in Landers and in some parts of rural New England.tnspr569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-71375477102543489262010-01-28T21:01:28.455-05:002010-01-28T21:01:28.455-05:00So did I see you @ Stern today before your makeove...So did I see you @ Stern today before your makeover or after?

One of the things I remember was cake wrapped up cellephane in the hallway, costing 5 NIS.(I remember standing outside a classroom waiting for it to become available for R. Wein's history lecture, and him making a joke about five Shekel cake--that's how I remember the price).Shades of Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029177164921795725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-68363110623750065032010-01-28T19:25:53.474-05:002010-01-28T19:25:53.474-05:00Drop my sister an email about the dance classes. ...Drop my sister an email about the dance classes.
