But Warren didn't say she left, regardless:
There's just the omission. At best, you're looking for Warren to not have taken some graduate courses between June-Sept 1971.
And that seems pretty dang petty, all things considered.

In 2019, she says she loved teaching but was essentially fired because she was pregnant.
Both stories can't be true.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

Both stories can't be true.

Originally posted by Sam View PostBoth recollections can easily be true if one is in reference to a career path and the other in reference to a specific job. Warren never said that she resigned because she wasn't certified. In fact, she says that she had an "emergency certificate"; a temporary credential for teachers pursuing a specialization.

Of course "I got fired because I was pregnant" plays much better as a campaign line.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostEverything I can find says that an "emergency certificate" is used to address teacher shortages by hiring people who are not certified with the expectation that they will seek certification at a later date. My assumption, then, is that Warren got a teaching job without much effort because teachers were in demand, but then when it came time to get certified said, "Nah, teaching isn't for me."
Of course "I got fired because I was pregnant" plays much better as a campaign line.
Gone from "Warren lied and her statements demonstrate that lie clearly" to "My supposition about Warren's motivation to become certified informs me that she lied about being forcibly resigned from a job" awful quick, there.

FYI: 1:1024 is the highest titer I ever had on a test - it's still a dilution but they were still seeing reactivity even that diluted, which is why we considered it 'high'.
But that patient didn't have syphilis - and we generally started to wonder when they hit 1:512. My supervisor saw a 1:2048 once - like my patient, that person had cancer, not syphilis.Last edited by Teallaura; 10-08-2019, 06:31 PM."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

Thank you kindly, sir.

Originally posted by Teallaura View PostSorry - it's a division of reactivity (would not be surprised if older pregnancy tests did this). Puts a numeric value to the test result. Nontreponemal syphilis tests have them - useful for determining treatment efficacy.

Yeah, I'm just really surprised I've never come across that term before, because of
A) my extensive work with our pregnancy center
2) my formal training in breathomotology (I think I made that up) but I'm a (newly recertified) breathalyzer operator
C) frequent conversations with my hospice daughter nurse
How could I get to be 66 years old, have all that training and experience, and never have come across "titer".
(Maybe I always subconsciously translated it "tither"? )The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
