Wow thanks for pointing out my spelling error in a sentence when I was basically saying how petty it is to point out spelling errors, sort of makes my point...or as Kym would say "I did that on purpose"

So are you and Kym the new spelling police? Gee we sure need that around here.

Any pointing out of spelling errors should be done via PM, so the person has the opportunity to learn and correct his or her post without public embarrassment.

[caseysmom]

I know how to spell I made a typo, but gee that should never happen since we are all totally perfect

Oh Kblaix, she knew what I meant but needed to belittle me, very becoming of her.

I was not pointing out the error. I was simply wondering what word you were trying to use. I thought it was "constructive" but didn't want to assume anything.

[caseysmom]

Yeah there are lots of other possiblities for contructive...the list goes on and on.

But its ok to check isnt it?

Moosmom probably just wanted to be 100% sure thats what you meant so I see no harm in her asking...

[moosmom]

Ellie,

EXACTLY! I thought maybe she meant contrusive but that's not even a word, so I was a bit confused.

Since I have never heard that word in my life it is doubtful, now I sure hope everything is all cleared up for you.

[caseysmom]

Okay I am glad she knows for sure now since it was so important to know for sure.

Do I 'hear' a little sarcasm (Sp?) in that?

Understandable, everyone gets a little confused sometimes...

WOW! Talk about Needing to stay in school, after reading some of these posts I think there are alot of adults here whom need to go Back to school (grade 12 or not).... How immature and demeaning some of these posts are.
Alot of youhave given some really great advice and are tryning to help, but gosh some of you are just WOW NASTY.
You are in a way (some of you) making it sound like the career she has chosen is not good enough. What is wrong with being a Dog groomer.??????
If it is something you enjoy isnt that what is also important.
Being a Groomer has alot more involved than just bruching and bathing a dog/cat. You are trained for many other things to.
She has been offered a position to take over a groomin buisiness that is located in a vetenaraians basement. The vet has seen her work before and has been recommended her by her employers, once she is fully trained.
As for renting the space, that has all been talked about.
Alicia is excelling in her Job and her employers are amazed with her.... She has found her calling.
Some people are just not cut out for school.... She will be leaving to go on to do an aprenteship which she has been offered for free at her present company. What she is saying is that she feels she will fail anyway at school and will have to keep going back to finish getting her credits. So instead of this she wants to get on with what she wants to do the most and go on to a different type of schooling.... In a perfect world she would finish highschool and then go on to her apprenteship, but hey this is not a perfect world.
If she feels she needs it down the road then she will have to do Independent learning at home to get it or she could go back.
But for now I believe what is best for MY CHILD is to do what she most enjoys doing and continue learning her trade.
I DO NOT appreciate people pickng her apart....GOD GROW UP!

Hey, hey, hey. No one here should ever tell anyone else to "grow up" - regardless of their age. We need to treat each other with respect, regardless of our differing opinions.

I, for example, never said that being a groomer wasn't a good career. I just pointed out that, because she has said her eventual goal is to own her own business, banks might take her business plan and request for start-up capital more seriously with a high school diploma under her belt. She's in Canada, not the US, so I do not know if a GED - or it's equivalency is given the same consideration as a diploma in Canada. That's something for her to research.

That goes for post #29 of Buttercups other thread also, there is another member telling someone to grow up, hopefully this applies to that person also.

What do your parents think about you quiting high school? You only have ONE more year to go. ONE more year. After that you are done, so why don't you just finish it up.
