    Check marks and your permanent record :eek:

    Ever have anyone threaten to put checkmarks on your permanent record?

    A picture of your first hair perm could remain forever on your "permanent" record.

    Our Permanent Record is Fiction
    [​IMG]


    "Yes, there were school records kept on us while we were students. But most of these were those boring forms your parents filled out; doctor's visits, full names, shot records, allergies and medications. If you got into trouble often, or had attendance issues, there may have been a note of that on these forms. As soon as we were no longer students, most of these were shredded, and if they weren't done so immediately, by now they're surely gone".

    "So, in short, my permanent record was never really there. It was just something said to keep me in line. No one is going to ever give you an earful because you jumped out and scared your teacher once, or that once, when they were late, you sat behind their desk and proclaimed yourself the new teacher".

    "If you were ever worried, rest assured now friends... You're safe".

    Other than the color, that could be me in my teen-to-early twenties years...naturally.

    A trove of 1920s report cards and the stories they tell.

    How I found the report cards, and how they changed my life. (link)
    By Paul Lukas

    "Now imagine nearly 400 of these stories. Four hundred little dramas, all sketched out on cardstock. Marie's report card comes from a large batch of old Manhattan Trade School student records that I stumbled upon more than a decade ago and have been obsessed with ever since. I've spent a good chunk of my life poking around antiques shops, yard sales, and abandoned buildings, but these report cards are by far the most evocative, most compelling, and most addictive artifacts I've ever come across".

    Manhattan Highs

    Q. What are the elevations of the hills and heights of Manhattan?

    A. The highest natural point in Manhattan, at 265 feet above sea level, is Bennett Park, in Washington Heights, where Fort Washington once stood.
