Didn’t I get a note sent home from RatGirl’s school last year asking me how I taught her how to do long division, why did I do that, and to please stop? Wasn’t it accompanied by a five-page handout “explaining” how they teach long division now? Doesn’t it have something to do with groups and sets? Do I even know how to do that?
Wouldn’t her teacher be horrified that I taught her how and why to do simple integrals over the summer? 
Won’t her teacher call you a fiend for teaching her simple integrals?
Isn’t that no longer a problem? Aren’t we at least temporarily done with USAian teachers? Haven’t we already had a parent-teacher conference with her teachers to address her special skills and her challenges? Aren’t we active with the school’s government-mandated counseling program for expats and refugees? Isn’t there much less focus on teaching to standards here? And isn’t their core curriculum a lot more flexible? And isn’t she enjoying a level of freedom that she’s never had in her old school?
How cool is that?
How’s her Flemish coming along?
Isn’t it a whole lot better than mine? Aren’t RatWoman and I both good at languages, and didn’t RatGirl get all those genes? But didn’t we have a pitched battle that we wouldn’t let her skate on the language requirements?
would it mean that they had native abilities but no knowledge if they managed to produce multiple offspring along the way?
Have you ever seen how they do long division in Germany?
have i ever said my home state is in any way a normal type of place?
Didn’t I just not want to dox/reveal your location without your permission 
?
Split the country in half for 40 something years?
That is a long divis… oh, don’t I see how clever you were on that one about halfway through my response?
Aren’t we all quite clever?
Anyone hungry?
Does it involve the shelf toilets?
Does anybody think it might be possible to troll the GOP into declaring their love for Stalin?
How could I forget how good everything is about Word Up?
Is that Levar Burton?
Does everyone else love him even more now? How is that possible?
