The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The massive exodus of teaching staff sucks
I wish I could blame them, but I can't. Between this state's bigoted and draconian policies about what teachers can and can't say and the ridiculously low pay, I wouldn't stick around either.
Indiana does have the Indiana Connections Academy, which is an online public school where accredited teachers give instruction vie videoconference (and private chat if necessary). My daughter is in it and doing really well. Since it's a public school, we don't have to pay for her to go, but I did have to stop working in order to put her through it because it requires an adult to be a "learning coach" to keep your kid on track.
We put her in it for other reasons, but the difference in education quality is like night and day. I'm sure in no small part because the teachers are paid well. Or well for Indiana anyway.
Unfortunately, the program is run by Pierson, and they're evil, but all the kids are using Pierson textbooks in public schools anyway since Pierson has a near monopoly.
