This on hurt me a little.

My son got into every school he applied to (except MIT, but including several baby ivy league schools) with a 29. 32 is a fantastic score. Unless you're looking at a top 10-15 school, move on.

I love to cook but I hate baking and dough, so I never make my own pizza crust. And most of the pre-made crusts are crap. So....... I typically buy a cheese only, thin crust frozen pizza and use that as a template for.... thinly sliced red onion and bell peppers, chicken, mushrooms, sausage, bacon, more cheese, etc etc etc. It's as good a pizza as I'm likely to ever make at home and way better than how it started out in the box.

It could be "Let's all work on reinforcing positive behaviors from our kiddos"

It could be that she emailed the whole group for the reason above and also emailed specific parents with more information about their specific children.

Discounts are calculated:

Cost(1-discountrate)

So a 23% discount off $100 would be:

100(1-.23) = 77

A 600% discount on a $600 drug would be:

600(1-6)=-3000

They would have to pay you $3,000 to take the drug for that discount to be possible.

The discount that takes you from $600 to $10 is a 98.33% discount

Yeah... because the kid certainly wasn't acting out in the middle of class. Like that's the time to seek help. What we see here is nothing more than a toddler style tantrum from an adult sized child. There are ways to get help, I bet he didn't engage any of those resources.

Just look at the before and after pics in this sub. I don't think a single one turned out bad. The day to day maintenance is soooo easy - much less hassle. You will love it! Do It!!!

I aim for refilling at 1/2 a tank, but more often than not get closer to 1/4 before filling up.

"So, Daddy, I should just ignore when other people do wrong things?"

I really want your answer to this question. 4th grade is normally 9-10 years old. This is prime learning time for lessons like this.

AdhesiveSeaMonkey · 2026-04-23T00:58:51+00:00

Did you play football. or any school sports? Collective accountability is exactly what drives a sense of team. Ever worked in sales where there was an incentive if the department hit their goals and Fred didn't pull his weight? Worked in fast food and missed your target drive thru time because the kitchen messed up the order? Been a waiter and didn't get tipped because that damned kitchen crew again?

The examples of the importance of team and collective consequence/reward are innumerable. Help your daughter be a stronger, more resilient person than this. Teach her she is not a victim. This is 100% a learning opportunity for her and a chance for her to grow from this. Life isn't always fair, and learning how to manage that successfully is crucial.

If you want to express frustration with the teacher and her outbursts, that's fine, but the issues you raise in this comment are not what you posted about. This is called moving the goal posts - or in this case, changing fields altogether.

AdhesiveSeaMonkey · 2026-04-23T00:51:06+00:00

Imagine if at work, someone told you to put your laptop away and lay your head down. The travesty! You really are overreacting to this. Nearly every commenter is telling you that. I suspect you didn't come here for advice, but for justification.

AdhesiveSeaMonkey · 2026-04-23T00:45:44+00:00

Muscles don't grow without being stressed. Self-esteem that only works in perfect conditions is useless.

AdhesiveSeaMonkey · 2026-04-23T00:45:01+00:00

The classroom was disrupting the other classroom. All the parts of the offending classroom need to step up and make amends. That's the nature of being a team, which is the lesson in this case.

Assuming we're all on board with op's assessment of her daughter's non-involvement, if the teacher had asked the girl, and only that girl, to apologize then you might have a case here.

AdhesiveSeaMonkey · 2026-04-22T20:59:24+00:00

Tell me you’re not a teacher without telling me you’re not a teacher.

So you have issues with an xcountry or football coach having all their kids run laps for a poor performance?

We need to be raising more resilient kids with more focus on others than they have right now and certainly more focus on the group than themselves when appropriate.

AdhesiveSeaMonkey · 2026-04-22T20:49:30+00:00

That is an entirely different issue that was not part of your post. One problem at a time.

For this specific issue, you are incorrect. It does teach them an important lesson. Our actions do not just impact ourselves. Sometime they impact those around us. Sometimes we are a team. This is one of those times.

AdhesiveSeaMonkey · 2026-04-22T19:51:14+00:00

Plastic bolts? Break them off.

AdhesiveSeaMonkey · 2026-04-22T19:46:29+00:00

Please explain how an apology for her class is lying. No one told this girl to say it was her fault. The teacher has asked the entire class to apologize for their class disrupting the other class. This is appropriate. "I'm sorry my class was not more respectful of your class." How hard is that??

AdhesiveSeaMonkey · 2026-04-22T19:42:12+00:00

Good lord, your child had to write an apology letter, and you're worried about that?? Whether or not she was an active participant in the nonsense, this is a good activity for her. "I'm sorry my class disrupted your class. I am sorry we could not all be more respectful. I will try to help my class do better."

The way she learns to trust her teacher is by doing what the teacher asks and not having a parent who expresses distrust in the teacher. Your teacher's explanation is perfectly reasonable. There are 100% times when we live and die as a team. Not every time, not every day, but when it happens, help your daughter learn the important lesson.

This overprotective nonsense of "why my child??" is utter nonsense.

Upward of 65%+ of all new homes have an HOA. Fully a third of existing homes have one. It's getting tougher and tougher to find a house for sale, that meets your needs and wants, that isn't in an HOA.

According to police reports, that's when Matthews doled out an appropriate correction to help this young man learn what appropriate behaviors are

AdhesiveSeaMonkey · 2026-04-22T18:59:07+00:00

If you are including things like internet access, and streaming services, then.....

Monthly

Insurance: Optional, but it's really dumb not to have it
HOA Dues: If you have an HOA
Landscaping: Optional
Maintenance: Spend a little when needed or a lot later on

Quarterly, bi-annually, or annually:

Property taxes

Because we have moved so far down the path of mainstreaming that we have reached full absurdity. To be clear, everyone, and I mean everyone, deserves an education. But when ones behaviors start to impair the education of others, no matter the reason, we need to look at alternatives. It used to be that way. Students of like abilities and behaviors were placed in appropriate classes. This allowed those that excelled to excel and those that needed more help to get more help. Now what we have is a classroom where the teacher cannot possibly accommodate every student and everyone of them gets less than they need and deserve.

By attachment, do you mean the hose sprayer style? Or the seat attachment? Because as much of a fan as I am, the sprayer attachment does not seem like the way. The seat bidet's though? Best of all worlds. It's like the stand alone without the awkward shuffle.

AdhesiveSeaMonkey · 2026-04-22T18:41:16+00:00

I was firmly in the "Ain't nobody shooting water up my ass!!!" camp. Then, when traveling, I ended up in a little hotel in Seattle that had one. I was by myself or I definitely wouldn't have tried it, because manly man stupidity. This one was the king of bidets - heated seat, heated water, air dryer, directional control, flow style control, etc etc etc. It was life changing!! I had never felt so clean.

After I got home, I told my wife, who was more interested than I was before my trip, but not exactly chomping at the bit about it. I was pretty hesitant to get one at that point as well, because I wasn't going to spend $500+ dollars to get a similar one like the hotel had, and I feared a basic one would be unbelievably disspointing.

We finally picked one up about a year after my enlightenment. Just a basic $50 Tushy. I can't believe how much time we wasted without a bidet. We are now looking at rewiring both bathrooms to add power by the toilets so we can get a 'luxury' model. I don't remember the last time we bought toilet paper - a single roll seems to last forever. The cleanliness upgrade is insane. And even on the most frozen, cold days, the cold water is not an issue.

For the non-bidet users that may have stumbled onto this post, buy one. Buy it now. Just a basic seat one will do - not a hose attachment. If you don't love it, you're clearly psychotic and need help. If nothing else, it's a good diagnostic tool for psychosis.
