Once you contact a realtor, they will assist.

Boston. For lots of reasons but main one - I really couldn't be away from the ocean.

But the surrounding land is pretty boring near Toronto. I like the New England landscape. The natural beauty is prettier.

I could go for the medical care costs and college costs of Canada though.

My budget is around 650-700K. I will prefer an realtor

You also need to inquire about flood insurance and how much it would be if you are thinking about moving to a coastal place like Salem.

I would also suggest coming in the winter (not this one cause it hasn't arrived yet) but you need to know what it is like to be near the ocean in the winter and how dark it gets here before you move

Price range for house is a key piece of information you didn’t include.

Please also mention if you have a realtor and are using zillow.

I've lived in the Boston area and have visited Toronto and I prefer Boston but it may be due to familiarity and family in the area. One other major factor is the world-class healthcare in Boston. Important for older folks.

Great idea

Boston.

History, architecture, and great sports teams and restaurants. Also, great music, from punk to rock to BSO.

Ask this in the Ontario sub and it'll be a different story.

Talbots has a petite department and I often bounce back and forth between regular and petite to find the right fit.. There is usually a blazer and nice slacks on sale. Stay away from the "cutsie" stuff, stick with solids, and you should be fine. At least, worth a look.

Could they make this shit any more confusing?

> It is "popular " right now

Made me laugh. It's the in thing right now! ;)

My six year old is on the bus at 7:24 and school starts at 7:40. He is the last stop so there are kids getting on before 7am. It's awful.

My high school started at 9:00 am in Virginia. It was the elementary schools in the district that started at 7:40 am.

It was always a cash advance.

Northampton may get more railway service if MA and CT extend the Connecticut passenger rail north of Springfield, where it still terminates. There is Amtrak but infrequent. And Mass is looking at restoring passenger rail from Worcester to Springfield, Pittsfield and possibly Albany. Who knows when? Rail is on an upswing and Northampton will benefit but I suppose a bird in hand is worth many in the bush.

I still can't file my taxes because the IRS fucked up some obscure line item, and TurboTax is shitting itself over it. The planned fix is "someday."

I actually was not late for work that day bc they filmed some part of it at the Revere Dunks and it was closed for filming. I was super disappointed I didn’t get to be in the commercial lol

I just had this a few days ago. Came in quick. It was awful felt like crap for a couple of days!

I don't disagree...I had 4 in elementary school doing it...it sucked... badly. It was a major reason for me taking them out of public school if that what the adults/admins thought was right for 6-10 year olds..after a summer to think things thru...

But I don't think it sucked for all of my high school students...for some it was a whole new world that was opened.for them and they thrived...these were my highly intelligent yet socially awkward folks.

I disagree with the last point...I don't think that there is a one size fits all approach. Especially because of special education.* Social interaction is just that social, school is not the only place that happens...for some sure. And it should be in the elementary school years, exactly as you frame it. After that I think things start to vary widely. I'd argue for more social time and less guided academic time, if they're going to be 6 hours in a building...more sports, less structured learning and more opened ended project/interest based learning. I worked at Voke school and it was great that the kids had 50% time in their vocational area...I'd advocate for more of that across all schools. Apprentice programs. Help kids identify what they like not force them into boxes.

But what you have right now is that it's virtually impossible for a regular teacher without a co-teacher who specializes in Spec Ed to accommodate all students...that's where "zoom" comes in for academics, taking some kids out of the classroom for some of the time.

Just my take..kids like your autistic child would most likely benefit from less bodies in the room vying for attention one way or another. I'm speaking mostly from the perspective of a high school teacher. Elementary school i definitely feel that online learning should be supplemental not the driver.

Maybe I'm a moron...

Lots of pedagogical experts in this sub.

Edit: wanted to clarify...

There are a couple of private schools in CT and MA that have closed over some virus with these symptoms as well. Can't specifically say if it's noro or something else...

As someone who has 2 kids ( one of which with autism) zoom schooling was the absolute worst for elementary aged kids. And honestly you’re a moron if you think otherwise. Kids do not have the capacity to sit in front of a screen to learn all day. Kids also need the social interaction and structure of in school learning(especially special needs children).

Brunswick is great. That’s my plan for retirement.

They just milking the publicity here. Anyone who would have been in range of a camera would have signed both an NDA and a release form. No one was surprised.
