      Snacks Crossing Elementary seriously drops the ball

      And I made that statement in the context of my own situation in response to people telling me to take her out of the current school and put her elsewhere. Look at the full paragraph from which you quoted one line: "Pulling my daughter out of her school is not something that can be done...

      When I said "it doesn't happen in an instant" I was speaking in the context of my case with my daughter. You replied "wrong" and cited your case. I therefore pointed out that your case is nowhere comparable to mine and, therefore, is non-responsive to my original assertion. All of the things...

      Don't sweat it. You haven't been as confrontational as some here have been so I have no reason to take that the wrong way. I don't know if she told anybody. I suspect that at school they said "stand here" and "get on that bus" and she, not knowing any better, simply did as she was told...

      Thanks for quoting that. It wasn't that I didn't have time to respond. About half of the cost was repair of the vehicle (in fact, I'm surprised they didn't total it). Then there was the ER, ultrasounds and other checks on the health of the baby (remember, she was seven months pregnant when...

      All I can say is I'm glad you don't run a daycare. Every single time my daughter hasn't been in daycare when she normally would have been if I didn't call them to let them know (sometimes she wasn't there because I was just as sick as she was and both of us were sleeping in) they called me to...

      The question was rhetorical. It may be what we can expect, but it's not what we should demand. Actually, I got a very apologetic call from the school principle this evening. You see, I'm the calm one or, as I think I put it uptopic, my anger burns cold whereas my wife's burns very hot...

      Snacks Crossing Elementary seriously drops the ball

      I know that there's no membership requirement to attend most (of which I am aware) religious supported private schools, but every one I've looked at had a pretty serious tuition difference between members and non-members. That makes a pretty big difference in what one can and cannot afford. I...

      Ah, so let me guess. Public school at both locations right? The public school was the one in whose district you would be living at the new location, right? Your description wasn't entirely clear but it sounds like you used public transportation to get to school, which you were old enough to...

      Very good. And you made that decision on Friday, right? You found the school then, you arranged for tuition for the new school, you arranged new transportation to a school not within walking distance or with its own bus pickup at your house, and did all that in that single weekend, right? Or...

      :rolleyes: Right because calling every five minutes to be sure people are doing what they actually agreed to do is exactly comparable to not following their own procedure for calling the parents when there was a problem with their child. There's a difference between, "they made a mistake but...

      I'm sorry but I don't expect to have to make specific arrangements for every possible problem that might crop up. Specifically state, "if my daughter is sick, call me" and specifically state, "if my daughter has a nosebleed call me," and specifically state "if my daughter has an epileptic...

      How fortunate for you. So if it worked out that way for you it must work out that way for everyone? Nobody has ever had problems from that approach? Are you so sure of yourself? One of the problems of the Left is that they are so sure of their own rightness that they can't imagine any...

      I do notice that you've switched back from specific "suggestions" to vague generalities again. It's always so much easier to speak in glittering generalities and repeat slogans such as "it's for the children" or "what is your child's safety worth?" What is her health care worth? What is the...

      Talk about not doing any good. The old "if we had some ham we could have ham and eggs if we had some eggs." You complain about not being able to get voters to vote "good" politicians an and then replace them when they turn "bad"? Yet somehow, magically, we're supposed to get 10-20 parents to...

      Oh sure, there are religious schools that will offer lower tuition rates for members of their congregation. All I would have to do is cynically pretend to believe in their flavor of imaginary friend. And what kind of example would that be to set for my daughter. I am not going to join a...

      I suppose I could always go wit the "failed state" approach since that has historically and globally worked so well. Oh, I know. I can give up health coverage and go with the "hope she doesn't get sick" plan. Or maybe I can give up paying bills and go with the "bankruptcy isn't so bad" plan...

      Fine. Give me back my tax money and I'll be able to afford to quit the public school system and put my daughter into a private school, or to have my wife stay home and homeschool. Or maybe I should just quit my job so that I can be home every day to take care of my daughter. Well, there's the...

      Oh, and I have written about the incident to the IndyStar, WISH TV, Fox 59, WTHR, and WRTV. My wife called child protective services ("since she was only unsupervised for a few minutes before the neighbor found her we aren't going to 'assign' this but will keep it on file for six months if...

      "A simple one to make"? Sorry, but no. This required several independent mistakes all in direct contravention of policies designed to prevent exactly this kind of "mistake" from happening. Maybe if it were someone else's little girl I'd be all "it's a simple mistake to make" and "if only one...
