    Why is EFM cert. a requirement for L an D

    If I recall correctly, she worked for a few years as a tech in that department. No point in mentioning that, other than to say that she's probably pretty aware of any staffing and management issues...

    Not having kids until 35

    It definitely is regional. We live in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood. At our local elementary school, it's about 70% Hispanic, with most of the parents non-English speaking. I remember throwing...

    Not having kids until 35

    All of a woman's eggs that she will release in her lifetime are produced when she is a fetus. As you can imagine, they do degrade over time, and the older she is, the greater the risk of aneuploidy....
