And the fact that the school "caused" the problem so they have to solve it -- and the easiest way to solve it is to make it YOUR problem.

I do this with businesses all the time, if they cause the problem, they they get to solve it, or pay the idiot tax to have me solve it. Quite often when they go to solve it, it makes life miserable for someone, somewhere in the food chain.

I just finished working on the sound of a human body being sent through a wood chipper.

And what does that sound like?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Owen is talking in his pirate voice (a low growl). He just came up to me and Olivia and said, "Say, arrrgh, mateys!" Then he proceeded to tell me he's a captain and showed me his treasure map.

I have achieved perfect buffista parent happiness.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

ND - private schools are changing dramatically in their approach to parent relations. I hold this example from my new city up as exhibit A.

Sox, the thing is, I taught the majority of my career in public school and still have many friends/family in the public sector, and I can honestly say that the admin bends rules for parents a lot more frequently there than I've seen at either of the private schools I've worked at here in LA. Public school admins are terrified of lawsuits that the school can't afford, and unlike at private schools, they don't have the option of kicking kids out (unless the situation is really dangerous). I don't disagree with either Trudy or you in terms of the idea that people with money can pull more strings than those without, but I haven't seen the same level of administrative fear in the private sector.

Wet and sloppy, while still crunchy and delightful.

truth. I think no matter where you teach, though, it's getting more difficult to, you know - teach.
