Of course, there are plenty of rich American parents, too. I don't hate the kids who drive these cars, but I do hate their parents - it's overkill, especially for a school at which a car Programming Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03838328277067778125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-27207055073060887722012-02-22T15:35:52.471-05:002012-02-22T15:35:52.471-05:00Please, please, please let the DC meter maids be o...Please, please, please let the DC meter maids be out in full force!Middle-Aged and Morosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046076243513948921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-18592529444164629262012-02-22T13:42:10.552-05:002012-02-22T13:42:10.552-05:00I taught at a college in the NE for a while, and o...I taught at a college in the NE for a while, and one student I had was from the Czech Republic.
