Is there a way to prevent kids from adding stars within the app?

Everyone has the app so they can see tasks and add their events. There doesn't seem to be a 'parent' mode or anything even. I haven't had an issue with them adding stars, but I noticed they had the option to do so.

What's the best way to stain this medal without ruining the etching?

I want to stain it copper, but don't want to ruin it.

Hey everyone, I’m just a regular guy who happens to be married to the smartest person I’ve ever met, and I’m looking for some real-world advice for her. My wife is currently an A&P professor, but her obsession and talent for neurology is honestly on another level. She actually started out as a chiropractor, but she’s completely over that world... she realized pretty quickly that she was told the Kool-Aid and does not identify with the rest of the quacks within the profession. She regrets the time, energy, and money she invested. She’s got a doctorate-level education but she’s basically a scientist at heart who ended up in the wrong lane and is ready to get out.

​The thing is, her knowledge is scary. She recently got the chance to do a full brain dissection and she was calling out every single structure and pathway like it was second nature. When we’re scrolling through social media and some complex neuro post comes up, she’s right there explaining the deep-level mechanics of exactly how that part of the brain is firing. She lives and breathes this stuff.

​She’s looking for a future in neurology but she’s done with the idea of medical school. I’m convinced there has to be a place for someone with her level of raw intelligence and anatomical knowledge, maybe in research, specialized labs, or high-level diagnostics. Something where she can actually use her brain without needing to go through the MD meat-grinder.

Does anyone in the field know if there’s a path for someone like her? I’d hate to see this much talent go to waste just because she doesn't have the "right" degree yet. Is there a way for her to get her foot in the door of a neuro department or a research firm based on what she actually knows?

Also, she's very afraid of actual MDs looking down on her because she chose the chiropractic route and judging her based on that. I'm telling you, this woman is brilliant. She still has an astronomical amount of student loans that she feels she'll never be able to pay back. She's completely disheartened, but I know there's got to be something out there for her.
