A quick definition of case plan:

A case plan is a written plan that describes how a child who has been taken away from their home and placed in foster care or an institution will be taken care of. The plan includes where the child will live, how they will be taken care of, and what services will be provided to their parents. The plan is reviewed every six months to make sure it is still the best plan for the child.

The Adoption and Safe Families Act is a law that requires states to find safe and permanent homes for children who have been abused or neglected. The most important thing is to make sure the child is safe and well taken care of, even if that means they can't live with their parents. This law changed the way we think about child protection and focuses on what is best for the child.

A more thorough explanation:

A case plan is a written plan that outlines how to take care of a child who has been removed from their home and placed in foster care or an institution. The plan includes:

  • A description of where the child will be living
  • A plan for providing the child with safe and proper care
  • A plan for services that will be provided to the child's parents

Every state must have a system to review the case plan every six months to make sure the child is in the best possible place and receiving the best possible care.

For example, if a child is removed from their home because of abuse or neglect, a case plan will be created to determine where the child will live and how they will be taken care of. The plan may include placing the child with a foster family, providing counseling services to the child and their parents, and setting goals for the parents to work towards so that they can eventually regain custody of their child.

The case plan is important because it ensures that the child's safety and well-being are the top priority, rather than the rights of the parents. This is in line with the Adoption and Safe Families Act, which requires states to find safe and permanent homes for abused and neglected children in a timely manner.

Quentin Tarantino is interested in watching somebody’s ear getting cut off; David Lynch is interested in the ear.
18:03
Quentin Tarantino can't resist putting a gay scene with a black guy participating in the gay act in his movies.
18:05
David Lynch is just gay.
18:18
Lynch is more in touch with his unconscious/dream state than the average person
18:42
Probably. I just dont know. All I know is he did a good job with Dune.
18:45
You should watch Blue Velvet
18:46
How’s your LSAT studying been going?
18:49
It is good. I have about two more weeks and I broke the 90 level on LSAT Demon which is good last night. My goal is 95 so I can probably get it before I test. It is scaled our of 100. This is for LR. My RC is below that but I know the more I get better at MBT questions the better my RC becomes.
18:50
I watched the trailer for that movie. The run time is 2 hours. May watch it on 2x the speed. Just watched se7en and thats like as graphic as I get so I kinda need a break from weird bodyhorror stuff. The sloth guy in that movie scared me.
18:51
I do like psychological horror though.
18:53
Oh jesus don’t watch the movie at all if you’re gonna watch it on 2x speed
18:54
I have never used lsat demon; how do their levels relate to actual lsat scoring?
18:56
kinda go in 20 point intervals. 20 points if you have mastered lvl 1 difficulty questions, 100 points if you have mastered lvl 5.
18:56
Getting 100 points is incredibly difficult though. anything baout 95 is pushing the 175-180 range. 90-95 is like 170-174 or so. etc.
18:56
yeah but if you’re getting a 95 on all sections what LSAT score is that? how is that calculated?
18:56
oh okay
18:57
so 100 would be a 180?
18:57
Yeah, 100 is like you would get a 180 and there's nothing more to teach you. I have only seen someone with a 100 like 2/3 times.
18:57
are you taking practice tests that are being scored though?
18:57
or just drills
18:57
Yep, they get factored into it.
18:58
I do drilling essentially every day. A timed section every 3, and a test every 2 weeks.

re: WashU's URM lsat differential - fair to chalk that up to LSAT redaction weirdness messing w the scale or are they generally starved for URMs

And an (albeit negligible) inverse URM GPA differential
