Ah, he wanted you to do it?

Husband's opinion: He'd probably enjoy the experience of watching it, but it looks completely unmemorable.

How does one study for a psych test, Shady?

Remind yourself not to talk to yourself in multiple voices. I learned that just gets me funny looks

Sorry, Shady! For some reason I interpreted that as a psych evaluation, not at test for a psychology class! headsmack

HA!

Well, at this point it's kind of 50/50, BrekkeP.

I mean... if he knew definitions and had a grasp of concepts he could reliably spit out, it would be a start....

Seems early in the school year for a test.

I mean, we won't even start until the 5th.

the principal is claiming that they didn't know they could choose a punishment less than 90 days in the fuckin' Juvie school

that is the current story, at least, from these jagoffs

well, sweetheart, you could PUT MY NIECE BACK IN CLASS

The hell?

fuckin redneck shit show

...I get the sense I need to go back and catch up on some stuff. But I'm glad somebody is making sure the principal adheres to the code of conduct!

Niece had a pepper spray keychain for when she was working, alone, at the pizza place late at night during the summer

forgot to remove keychain when school started

on day 2 of school, keys fell out of purse

Oy.

School decided to send my AP/Honors student, Student Council secretary, JROTC officer, Track & Soccer letterman, never-had-a-demerit-or-detention niece to 90 days at the alternative school

I can see that that might fall under a no-tolerance policy for weapons, and a principal's hands are tied in a lot of ways in those situations, but it sounds like the principal didn't really look at what was and wasn't possible.

booting her from all of her AP classes & extracurriculars, with no hope of returning to them this, her senior year as she is applying for colleges

She'll get one hell of a college essay out of this, but yikes.

she has already been bullied at the new school

No doubt!

because she's a 5'3 slip of air

Geezes

god help everyone if someone lays a hand on her

so far, it has just been verbal harassment and breaking her pencils

Josh is working on appealing the decision, has an attorney, wrote a letter, etc

I hope the lawyer can threaten the school into lawsuit hell

Holy crap.

Agreed, Mr. D.

@Cat - I have alcohol, bail money, a ride, and a shovel. Just let me know.

yeah, the whole thing is infuriating

she is NOT a dangerous kid.

she is IN danger.

Is homeschool an option at all for the duration?

They're investigating that, too

Yeah, that might be the best option.

The main HS has to approve the transfer to the cyber school, I know

so the same principal that pulled this stunt

she might wind up spending senior year at Mom's in PA

Maybe get to the JROTC officer and NCO, see if they'll write a reference letter NOW.

because "fuck you, she's physically in a new state"

I know she reached out to several teachers for letters

And go to school at Mom's? Hey, not a bad idea.
