Tensor Out of Character Community

Thanks to everyone who made it to chat! For everyone who didn't, here's a recap of some of the things we discussed. A full transcript is available if you want to read it all. It was long.

If you were not in chat (or hey, even if you were) and want to chime in on any of these topics, feel free to do so!

Also, apologies for the cruddy structure of this post... it was late when I wrote it, I'm sick, and long chat was long.

( Chattin' it up )

So there it is! Sorry, everyone, for truncating it so much... there was just too much to cram it all into one post, and again if anyone wants the full transcript, let us know!

Thoughts, questions, concerns, monetary gifts, jokes, ideas, etc. are always welcome!

We talked about this in chat on Monday night, and this is the head's up that it's definitely a go! The babies themselves will be distributed on Monday, but we'll be providing you with the parameters of the plot (and the very fancy, high tech, Tony designed and built babies) and the assigned pairings by Friday.

Things to know:
-Every year during the first full week of May Xavier's does some kind of paired project aimed at real life experience for the 8th graders on up. They've done projects like personal/family budgeting, how to run a private business and assorted others, and, every few years, the ever-popular egg babies.

-This year Tony has stepped in to provide a much more realistic child-rearing experience.

-It's not announced in advance what the project will be in any given year, but there has doubtless been some speculation...and Tony and Warren obviously know.

-The students will be emailed Sunday night with their partners and the project will be explained in assemblies Monday morning - one for each school. They will be expected to pick up their baby (with their partner) by lunch Monday.

-Partners will be assigned by the school (the mods) and will not cross between schools--middle schoolers with middle schoolers, high schoolers with high schoolers, with the exception of college and cadets who will be interpaired.

-There will be a minimum amount of time per day that partners are expected to spend together while caring for their baby, and the baby will log this.

So that's the heads up for now, we'll be getting you more details and partner assignments by Friday!
