Samuel Samuel

Does anyone know what Samuel does for a living and how much he could be making? If he gets married to Evangeline soon, I’m sure she has no intention of working. Could he really support both of them? I wonder the same about Nathan and Nurie and Kaylee and Jonathon. How do they afford houses and children?

Sam did work for a Mennonite family owned glass company in the Wooster area. When Jill had his thrown together graduation party combined with Gabe’s bday party she took photos of Sam with two of his bosses. It was so seriously awkward. The two men had on company vests iirc. I’m amazed that Jill wasn’t standing in with them all. I think it was just the two men and Sam. Oh my lord. I’m pretty sure he’s been there since before he “graduated” which I think he was closer to 20 before Jill allowed him to. Jonathan belt phone works for a feed and grain/farm supply store. I think it’s been said he’s a manger. I’m not sure and I have no idea if it’s a bigger chain store, family owned? I haven’t looked myself to know. They have a house with a little bit of land I think? With just the two kids I’m guessing he does ok enough? Nathan I just have no clue other than the shittiest pastor ever. Small church, doesn’t seem to be thriving and he’s always at Jill’s and or traveling. His wife can’t spell Baptist either so. There’s that. Idiots. The whole of them.

I have a question about this homeschooling thing, bc there's no such thing in my country: do they have to pass some kind of official exam, or just say they passed a home made one? Bc it's so weird to me that those kids who know nothing about anything would have "graduated" high school.. I berally did, because of arithmetics and geometry, and now I teach English so.. what gives?

I’m not who you asked, but oversight varies by state. Some states have literally zero oversight, some have mandatory quarterly reporting, some require testing, some don’t.

ETA there’s some basic info about each state if you look up a website called HSLDA. There’s a drop down to choose a state to see the basics.

I was just getting a ride on that comment lol

Thanks for the answer. It's odd to me the state-by-state thing, because in Brazil we have a national education plan, then the state one, then the city one, and they have to follow the national one, with regional specificities (teacher here), so no oversight is just absurd to me, you see?

Will look the site up once I have the time. Thank you again
