Isn't that what they charged one of our BB players with two nights before Iowa? I think they also used that against one of the DJK at Iowa before adding the drug charges.

I have been feeling a bit verklempt. I thought it was because of the Chicken 65 from the new Indian restaurant.
My senile old bat of a teacher for freshman science called me by one of my brother's names in class.
High School Spanish has been pretty helpful to my oldest thee kids both in college and in their careers.
Seems like most kids who get in trouble at school have enabling parents.
I vomited twice last night and have been blaming husband for creating a chemical spill I cleaned up. I'm allergic to pretty much every chemical.
You can tool me any time you believe it is appropriate. As I subsequently stated, I probably had it coming. Thank God for Cooler The Tooler.
Maybe, but you are not Nickels, the Queen of the loud noise complaints, unless the 55 means something else.
Here's a crazy mom(s) story.
Our middle school sits on the border of another district and the two closest middle schools in that district tend to be not-very-highly regarded so a lot of families want to open enroll at our school. It's become so full that our school has limited open enrollment.
One girl tried to open enroll there and mom brought in her ID but the address wasn't in our district so she was rejected.
The next day, a different lady that claimed to be the girl's mom came in with a piece of mail showing that she lived in the district and claimed that she was actually the girl's real mom. The "mail" evidence was rejected because it wasn't the correct type of mail (i.e. it needs to be something like an utility bill).
The third day, another different lady that claimed to be the girl's mom came in with a utility bill showing that she lived in the district and claimed that the other two ladies weren't the real mom but she was. This evidence was brought to the enrollment specialist and, even after having it pointed out that this was the 3rd lady that claimed to be the real mom, she accepted it. She said they would look into the "real mom" thing later because if they rejected her and this was actually the real mom the school could get sued.
There are two big short-term problems with this. First, as you might expect, this child was not the best behaved child in the world. Second, once a child is accepted at an open enrollment school it is really difficult to get them transferred back to their correct school if the parents don't want them at the school.

Speaking of HS Spanish, my sister got her substitute certification this year (can become a licensed sub in Iowa if you have a 4 year degree in any area and take a few classes/do some observation. Her degree is in journalism). Her first sub job yesterday was HS Spanish. Today was family and consumer science. Subbing at the same HS we graduated from. Not sure if much of the same staff is there 20yrs later, but at least she knows the building. Next week she is in the middle school three days. I think as a sub you could pretty much work every day if you wanted. I talked to a retired elementary teacher a few weeks ago and she had subbed every day since school started.
There's a sub at our high school that's still working almost every day in his 80's. He started doing this again because his wife needed some medical work done that they can't afford. I guess he's super nice but sometimes falls asleep during class. A couple of the kids at the school started a go fund me page and hoped to raise $500. They've raised over $15,000 now.
High school Spanish was the bane of older son's existence, and the one thing that he & I butted heads over during all of his high school years.
Athletic/academic rules said you had to maintain a certain GPA in order to participate in sports. He made good grades in most classes, but brought home a D at midterm for Spanish in the fall semester of his junior year. I'm a mean mom - I don't care if the school says all that matters is the GPA, MOM says you get a D, you get that grade up before you do anything else. He missed three weeks of wrestling until I got a note from the teacher that he was caught up with his work and had brought his grade up to a C+. He was really really pissed at me at the time...but as an adult he has since informed me that it was a learning experience for him that doing the bare minimum is NOT enough, and as a parent he can see himself taking the same stance if it becomes necessary.

This is your pilot, Steven Leath, and I have an announcement to make.

My straight A daughter got an email from her volleyball coach last Friday after school saying she was missing an art assignment and could not practice Monday or play Tuesday in their last game unless it got turned in. She was freaking out a bit because she had turned it in. You can log onto your grades and there were no missing or late assignments from any class. She emailed the art teacher and what happened was the art teacher had created a draft email listing all the athletes who had not turned in their last big assignment. As projects came in, she took names off the list. She meant to send it out at the end of the day once she had seen all of her classes, but it got sent out at noon instead so daughter's name had not been removed yet because she has art at the end of the day. But according to her, she had turned it in the day before anyway so not why she was still on the list.
I have four retired teachers in my family. One brother subs extensively, and is always happy when it is high school math, which he taught. When it is FCS, I pity the kids. There is such a shortage, you can sub any day you want. This is my brother who doesn't have kids of his own, so when he subbed for elementary PE and the teacher's lesson plan included, "Duck, duck, goose," he was at a loss. A first grader taught him what it is lol. They all sub some, and have all had long term sub stints when schools are desperate due to parental leave, deployment, etc.

It's good you and they made him legit make up the work. Our Algebra I teacher had to repeatedly give a kid another shot at a test he kept failing (kid qualified for state wrestling you know
) and finally one of my kids was deployed to tutor him too. The kid's dad was all, "this is BS, there is more to school than academics."
OK, if you guys are gonna be tooling around with each other, get a room.
I could understand something like this happening in, say, Chicago........but up in the Twins? Not exactly a place where crime and bad things are rampant. Pretty sad that this girl's family had to lie three times about it.
