I worked for Nova a few years ago for a few years and I never heard of any teacher receiving any congratulatory or condolence money, even though a few of my colleagues got married, had children or were bereaved. I didn't even know they were skimming our salaries for it…

I used to work for Nova. About 15 to 20% of the male students and about 5 to 10% of the female students were absolutely off their rockers. If there was a bunch of them together in the same cubicle it was really scary. At first I thought there was…
