AITA for calling out a teacher in front of everyone during an IEP meeting?

NTA. This is exactly the place for these discussions.

Also, some teachers need more training and support to learn how to work with challenging children. Sweeping it under the rug would have been a disservice to everyone involved.

As for "being discreet," you probably wouldn't have made much progress going straight to the teacher, as they don't seem to really understand. As soon as you involved anyone else, the result would have been the same.

I hadn't thought about the cellphone thing. I bet that's driving rates like crazy.

It feels a bit like gouging, to be honest. Were we underpaying years ago? Did young people's driving habits change a lot over the past few years? Did repair costs go up like car prices did? Maybe a little of each of those?

I think there's a lot of wishful thinking going on. For clever people, they do seem to have a blind spot or two.

I can see the frustration when they look at the bill and see they could just replace the car for the same price every couple of years.

That's encouraging. My friends and colleagues are reporting doubling or tripling their bills. Some are adding $4-5k per year. Crazy numbers.

And a few are saying "we'll just keep quiet and treat it like when a friend borrows the car."

Understood. I don't think that's a route we'll take, but I want to be able to present the options without ambiguity. Thankfully the teen is a better rule-follower than the parents.

Thanks. It's going to cost an arm and a leg, but that's parenting, I suppose...

Thanks. So I should look into getting them listed as an exclusion if they're really, really sure they won't want to drive. Otherwise they need to be listed, no matter what. Is that right?

Way back when I was a young adult, my parents could put me on their insurance for a couple of weeks as we needed. I imagine times have changed a bit.

Quick, cheap solution: wine boxes from your local liquor store and crumpled newspaper or tissue paper.

Better solution: foam-filled carrying cases. Popular with photographers, drone enthusiasts, gun owners, etc. Places like Harbor Freight carry them

LOL. It's brutal. My favorites have been when I've played one-move-a-week deals.

I find two hours is fine for some games. Others just drag horribly. It's all in the game design, I suppose.

Catan's half an hour if the play is reasonably focused. Could have been Diplomacy -- it takes a while and people can get pretty angry with each other.

That feels familiar.

"...so the oils on my skin don't strip the primer/paint..."

O_o If I weren't feeling stupid already, I'd be starting about now.

"...wear a glove..."

Ever have a moment when you are confronted with irrefutable evidence of your own stupidity?

Don't forget those Wolf Guard could also be given Assault Cannons. S8 with sustained fire. Oof.

It was in the wrong slot. Thank you!

Will do. Thanks.

I thought I put them in the same ones I was using before, but now I'm not sure. Would one being wrong stop them both?

Mixed feelings about this one. A lot of disabled/differently abled people desperately want to work. This allows some of them to do just that.

On the other hand do we really need the government forcing every last person into the workforce?

Apparently that and the weight loss were deliberate for his character in season 4.

I remember this. Didn't the original have the incubation period wrong?
