Tandem usually refers to one being behind another, like a tandem parking spot where the head car is blocked in by someone parking directly behind them, like in a driveway. Or a tandem bicycle where two people with two seats and two sets of pedals on a bike, one behind the other. But tandem is how people usually ride on sleds together if they're going to share a sled at all so it's weird they called it out especially

I mean that's a terrible billboard and suggests your local police aren't particularly good.

But its kind of a reach to take that as evidence that all the cops throughout the country hate everyone who isn't a cop don't you think?

Still even if your right, how is that applicable in this scenerio? Everyone involved was also a cop.

They would have gained a tremendous amount of speed on the center of the pipe, i really wonder how they saw it going. I think most of us are lucky to be alive after the insanely stupid shit you do at 17/18. I came very close to death a few times doing dumb stuff at that age. I do feel horrible for the parents.

Awesome.

If that is a part of your regular contract, then you are a full-year teacher and don't get what most of us deal with.

If your summer teaching is a separate contract, then like I said, some of us work seasonally over the summers because our regular salaries suck.

Of course, that summer job can be awesome and rewarding beyond the pay, and some folks who don't really need the pay boost will work anyway . . . but again, that doesn't represent most teachers.
