not the wedding band.
Hopefully, she is marrying you just for who you are not for what kind of cool wedding band you can give her. (If she is marrying you for that, find someone else!)
This slightly geeky woman says, "Be genuine, sincere, and if you can handle it, romantic, but don't make it about the ring . . . make it about her."
"A few scornful women may wish to bomb men out of existence?"
Doesn't take a few scornful women. Men have succeeded at that themselves for quite a while.
But what kind of testing results in "empirical" evidence?
Multiple-guess is not very empirical. In addition, students cram for the test and then have forgotten content within 2 weeks.
The most effective and deep learning (notice learning, not testing)is not measured with a multiple-guess test. Multiple-guess, at best can only measure lower levels of learning, basic facts, which is fine in some cases. But effective, deep learning has to be measured longitudinally, not in a snap-shot multiple guess. It must be evaluated with a variety of evaluation tools, most of which require much more effort by the students than filling in bubbles, and by the teachers much more than running scantrons through the machine.
Multiple-guess at best can only give a snap-shot of discrete, limited, factual knowledge. It doesn't measure "learning"
I find the entire concept of "raising school" scores disgusting. Discouraging students to NOT learn is antithetical to teaching. Teachers' professional role is teaching students, regardless of their scores and abilities. We should never stoop to "raising the esteem" of the school in the eyes of the public or the government.
They're teenagers, whose parents copied things onto cassettes, whose grandparents copied things onto reel-to-reel!
As far as not valuing other's efforts, they haven't had to make a living off of their creativity . . . Put it in terms they understand, some begin to look into it and discover that the laws need to change!

This is insightful? Traditional weddings are for Barbie girls not for real women. Sorry, but I disagree.
