Thank you! I will do that. This high school is kind of hostile to deal with. For example if she has an Orthodontist checkup and I walk her in late, I also have to have a signed note from her Orthodontist stating she was there and the time she was there on their stationary. A note from me or...

Please accept my apologies if this was already posted in a thread or as a topic. I searched for it without results. My DD was accepted for NASS and was even more ecstatic to get her first choice, Summer Session 1 (June 4-9). She is a transfer student from a private school to the public school...

There is a difference though when comparing it to the private sector that seems to be over looked. In the military you do risk your life. In the private sector you don't normally risk your life. I think it would make more sense to reward those who serve and cut back on something else.

That sounds like a plan to me! I guess I am preoccupied with things and wondered way off topic! Many apologies to others. I didn't mean to hi-jack this to an off topic as I did. I also wish others the VERY BEST. Have a GREAT DAY!

Sorry! This did get off topic! Have a good day in spite of my wandering off topic! Do consider this an apology!

I don't think we are going to agree on that. I don't believe that the student that will be ostracized will agree with you. So, maybe we just have to agree to disagree. I personally don't think race or economic class holds a person back. We all have struggles but I don't think humiliating a...

I don't know if you will find this helpful or not but they often give me a heads up on things ...http://truthinamericaneducation.com/ They used one of my "concerns" as a subject. It was the newly designed PSAT she took in the fall of 2015. My daughter doesn't speak Spanish and never took it...

OTOH is makes me very, very, angry and OTOH I feel so bad for the student being ostracized and forced to endure abuse like this. I can't imagine being that age and being humiliated like this. It is totally unacceptable and needs to STOP!

I am sorry beyond words for what is literal abuse. It is reverse discrimination. If I had a heads up on it, I would keep DD home that day. I have no guilt nor apology for what others are NOT doing by CHOICE for their kids! Again, I am so sorry ... The craziness and utter reverse hypocrisy...

It truly breaks my heart seeing this go on unchallenged ...... I have to be thankful for the "mercies" in our life and our DD has only had to endure three years of this, (10th grade transfer, 11th grade - her current year and 12th grade she is done!). I am most grateful that her formative years...

I hope you don’t mind if I weigh in. I have some thoughts on your concerns. I hope you don't mind my bluntness. I can not speak for NAS but having switched our daughter from a private school to a public school there is an agenda in the public school system that we were not used to. She had...

I am very happy for your DD, She sounds fantastic! May I pat YOU on the back? I can see by your reply that YOUR level headed, loving influence helped get her there. It shows. Heart felt congratulations to you and yours !! I’m new here and to ALL of this. Our DD will be going to NAS for a...
