We must be making parallel points then because I absolutely agree that both can be true.

No, it’s not a 2E school. It’s a public school in a district where gifted education falls under the SpeEd umbrella.

Pretty sure I never said teenagers aren't assholes. I said that their teachers are adults and shouldn't be in the context of doing their jobs.

The only thing “tossed on”his 504 plan, as in recommended by a psychiatrist, school staff and agreed upon by administration, was that he be allowed an extra day to complete his work. That’s it. No special accommodations for testing, no classroom accommodations, nothing particularly taxing for the teacher other than…

Or my kid has a legally binding IEP for special Ed and a legally binding 504 plan for mental illness that a couple of his teachers feel that they should be able to ignore because he’s old enough for boot strap pulling and sucking it up. Either or.

I don't know who you are. Big dick swinger on kinja? I'm not a regular commenter so forgive me for not being aware of your status.

Wow. Guess we’re clear on who the asshole is HERE at any rate.

No, they really don’t get a pass. High school kids are still kids. The expectations of their behavior and responsibility should be raised but teachers should not be assholes.

To me it looked natural and authentic, like a couple who embrace on a very regular basis. He kind of did a little tiny slow-mo fake out and went for a neck nuzzle and she put her hand on his neck as he did it.

I love them together. She deserves a sweetie pie who adores her after dealing with that vile waste of oxygen, Chris Brown, for all those years.

Definitely grosser at least, no question.

Is this that actress from Mr Robot?

Clearly you’ve never been called something “nutrocious” before. I mean, I've been called atrocious names before and it made me SO mad. If someone called me something NUTROCIOUS I would totally call them a cunt in retaliation.

Oh fuck you and wherever you fucking live, heartless prick. That is my city and this is my state and you can kiss our collective ass. Should California all move to Kansas because EARTHQUAKES? Oh but wait...Kansas = TORNADOS! So maybe we should move everyone to the east coast except...HURRICANES! Ok then, back west it…

She was trapped in her car under water. He got her out in the nick of time. I think she was just completely panicked and grabbing around her, not pushing him down to get the dog.

He watched all the primary debates (“Why are they interrupting and shouting? That’s rude.”) and watches the news with us nightly so he’s seen footage of Trump at his rallies (“Is he making fun of someone? He shouldn’t be doing that. It’s mean.”) Sorry, but it doesn’t take an adult to feed anything to a kid when…

That Outlander character who was raped ultimately killed her attacker...be her own hero, if you will. The concern about her marriage prospects was expressed by the main male character who was of that time period. The main female character (who was from 200 years in the future) was more concerned with the guilt and…

My 6.5 year old told me this morning, “Donald Trump is a jerk and a liar.” so I wholeheartedly agree that this isn’t giving the elementary school set enough credit. His arguments are much more well thought out and eloquently expressed than Trump’s surrogates can pull off.

That was a real value add (him taking her to the stones and staying with her until she passed through wasn't in the book).

I think they’re looking for more of a Marilyn Monroe “Happy birthday...Mr. President” vibe. You know, something with more gravitas. That says leadership, inspires confidence while also giving them a boner.
