Not to derail...
But as a parent I find the lack of text books frustrating. I don't think every thing being digital is a benefit or is necessarily the best way to learn especially in math.
Am I just old?
Damn. She made that much in only a few weeks??? Yeah, she got too greedy.
Even if she did not buy all of those luxury items the company would have found out eventually.
That was her second mistake. Not realizing that she was not white and doing this so brazenly.

These KIDS that have never seen a book, well they can do homework on their CELL PHONE. Write complete papers!
Forget a laptop or tablet.
It is the super old who read books or use a laptop.
Younger generations use tablets.

I feel you. But there are so many factors at play. First your have to consider the school. Public vs. private. Another is the grade level such as high school versus college.
My daughters school doesn’t use their lockers anymore for security reasons. So it makes no sense for students to carry a bunch of books all day.
Most of their assignments are done digitally. They are on Canvas, blackboard, or some type of educational-based platform to submit work. They are usually sent to some third party website to complete assignments as well.
Most colleges have went digital. There are still physical books that can be picked up, but students don’t know what to do with them and teachers aren’t using them. All classrooms have projectors attached to a computer, so teachers can pull up PowerPoints or ebooks in class and teach that way. Or they can use iPads or other tablets to write notes.
Teaching traditionally is nearly obsolete. I TEACH traditionally, but I don’t grade and give test traditionally. I don’t give paper test anymore. Everything is online and graded for me. Students use all sorts of apps to give them answers and they see nothing wrote with it because it’s how they learned math all their life.
They don’t see the need to retain fact-based information because we have technology such as Google that can give them answers on the spot.
Man, I could go on and on about this stuff, but traditional teaching and using physical textbooks is a thing of the past. While I think a student learns better that way, so much of society has change and the educational system has to keep up with the technology or get left behind. The pandemic was that wake up call.

Talent, work, and expectations energize Lasell sprinter Foster’s approach to life

Ariel Foster New Tesla owner
Lasell University sprinter Ariel Foster had a busy time of last week: She received her third Rookie of the Week recognition from the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC); she put time in at her two jobs; and she bought herself a Tesla with plans on how she’ll spec it out: “Right now, it’s red, but I’m going to wrap it pink—like a soft pink, nothing too bright—and the interior’s white and will be pink and then I’m actually getting it tinted tomorrow,” she said.
The 19-year-old first-year runner from Fields Corner bought her dream car just two days after setting a new school mark at a Boston University invitational meet last Saturday and Sunday (Feb 3-4). Putting up a record time of 7.82s in the preliminary dash and qualifying for the finals, she went on to match her school’s previous record by finishing at 7.90s to place 8th overall.
Foster became aware of her speed at a young age “I used to beat the kids in my school,” Foster said. “So, my teachers and my PE teachers used to be like, ‘Oh, yeah, you should join track.’” Which she did, first at a club and then in high school.
Since graduating from Boston Arts Academy and committing to track and field at Lasell last year, Foster has broken multiple school records and continues to lead the women’s track team while studying for her criminal justice degree, working at Francesca’s, and selling life insurance.
Foster, who had wanted a Tesla since she was a little girl, spoke about her on-and- off motivation regarding track. It’s “just knowing what type of life I want to live,” she explained. “I have a really specific lifestyle I want to live. I do not want to stay in Dorchester, and definitely don’t want to stay in Massachusetts.”
Foster also credits NCAA sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson of LSU fame as inspiration: “I want to be like her, just even younger.”
Another key player in her success to date, and an inspiration to get up for 6 a.m. practices every morning, is her coach, Ben Biello, who took over as Lasell’s head track and field and cross-country coach around the same time Foster was recruited last year. “If you really want me to be honest, the only thing that really wakes me up in the morning is Coach Ben,” Foster said. “Just knowing that he understands and he’s going to help me get to where I want to be.”
Biello spoke highly of Foster in return, explaining how her well-rounded interests contribute to her achievements. “She could have gone and competed D1 but she wanted to balance more of a D3 career, and she’s still crushing it at the D3 level,” he said. “And that’s one of my favorite things about the sport of track and field: It’s all times and marks.”
His focus, he says, has been on “refining her technique” and helping rein in her tendency to always “raise the stakes. Her work ethic is one of the most talented things I’ve ever seen,” Biello said. “Like this morning, she was off campus, due to a family issue and we had breakfast this morning. She sent me the workout she completed on her own. She’s just very a go-getter and takes the initiative. So, it’s definitely something that’s great about her and it’s very evident in all aspects of her life and work in the sport.”
Biello says that ethic shows in how she continuously achieves the goals she sets.
“She was saying she works a lot because she was determined to have a Tesla before she’s 20 years old,” he said. “She’s focused on her goals, whatever they may be—sport related or not. And she just achieved that goal the other day and was able to purchase it. We’re a program that prioritizes personal, academic, career development, and sport development in unison.”
And even though Foster chases the four successes that Biello speaks of, she appreciates track and field’s ability to constantly check her expectations.
“Something I like about it is just the fact that it humbles you,” Foster said. “You would think that you’re the best and another girl comes up and you’ll be in second place and that’s okay. There’s always room for improvement.”
Looking ahead, Biello is appeciative: “I’m just really blessed to have such an amazing individual on my team, and she’s, you know, one of the key individuals I’m going to be building this program around.”
For Foster, keeping her eye on the prize—and her Tesla—is what drives her forward. “Knowing what I want to be and what I want to do requires a lot of effort and time. Just knowing the truth makes me want to go harder.”

You’re a sucker. If they’re going to arrest you for a crime, it may as well go for the gusto. It’s not like the DA doesn’t indict for a crime if it’s small.

Yeah when she started talking about 2 part time jobs and a Tesla it was the beginning of the end, the report said she forgot to void a million dollar something on the register and another employee saw it and dropped a dime on her, I'm sure jealousy played a part in that. Chick was greedy though so she was going to get caught soon and I bet there's some dude walking around with $40,000 worth of jewelry, a car of his own and designer clothes who is sad right now...lol
So many scamming and stealing ass chicks in these Boston streets.
Flaunting, flossing, and FAKING their way to brokeness.
Wifey material.

Lock up your valuables.
She was thinking BIG! She just got sloppy because she was living the life.
If she stole close to a Million where's the money? That was less than 100k of stuff.
Also, if she did steal close to a Million dollars buying a Model 3 was a modest purchase.

A 19-year-old Lasell University student is accused of stealing more than half-a-million dollars in a credit card scam.
Ariel Foster of Boston was arrested Wednesday and is now charged with larceny. Police said she refunded a total of $547,187 in eight transactions at her job at Lovisa, a jewelry store in the Burlington Mall.
"An investigation determined that on three dates in February, items scanned at the register had their price increased, and the cost of the item was then allegedly refunded to a credit card belonging to Foster," Burlington Police said in a statement Thursday.
Investigators said Foster was at the store during all of the illegal transactions.
When they checked her bank account they said she bought a Tesla for more than $35,000, spent more than $20,000 on a hotel in Maui, Hawaii, almost $6,000 on Delta Air Lines tickets and nearly $5,000 on Louis Vuitton items.
"Greed took over. I don't know how else I would classify it." said Burlington Police Chief Tom Browne. "When I saw the age I was surprised as well and when I first saw the amount I thought it was a mistake."
"You would think that a refund of a costume jewelry transaction should not allow you to buy a $5,000 Louis Vuitton purse," said David Levenberg of Center Security Services.
Levenberg is a mall and retail security expert. He says this case highlights major flaws in the Lovisa system. The scam should have sounded alarms, before an alert co-worker noticed a $1 million order that Foster had failed to clear out.

She was thinking GIGANTIC and wanted to retire by the time she was 20!
That store probably ain't made 1 million dollars in 2 years but she charged 1 million dollars on one transaction like nobody would fucking notice!
Maybe that's why Halo never showed those books...it was all online. Yeah, that's the ticket!
Dummy didn't lock down her FB. She labeled herself as a digital creator backup IG https://www.instagram.com/mypureearuy/
Glad I wasn't tripping. That comment definitely got the side eye.
Should've watched Goodfellas. After the Lufthansa heist they made it clear not to go out and make big purchases. Of course some wise guys did it anyway and they ended up chilled.
And her bail was only $1,000???????
