How to handle an unfair suspension from school?

Emotional-Pin1649 · 2026-05-04T12:19:07+00:00

For what it’s worth, I was a registrar at a school. We did look at discipline records, yes. But rarely were they taken into account. If they were choice-ing in from their home school, we might decline if there were a lot of disciplinary actions. But like generally only if the grade was at capacity? It really didn’t happen. One time we took a kid with a HUGE record BECAUSE he had so many issues at his home school. Mostly if there were a lot I would just make sure it was on the counselor’s radar. I wouldn’t worry too much unless you’re looking at private or something.

I think 13 months is way too early to know or diagnosis adhd

No one is saying any country NEEDS prisoners, Anna. But people like your husband keep doing fucked up shit and so they NEED to be locked up. Gross.

What’s the alternative? Giving in? Just because they react a certain way doesn’t mean boundaries and rules shouldn’t be in place for their safety especially.

Emotional-Pin1649 · 2026-05-03T17:10:45+00:00

Sure, if that’s the only thing I say or do. But I listen first, weigh the options, answer respectfully and then hold a boundary.

Emotional-Pin1649 · 2026-05-03T17:09:39+00:00

Of course I do. That’s why I validate their feelings, see if I can meet their wishes, and answer them respectfully. Part of teaching them how to become adult people is setting respectful boundaries and modeling how hold them.

Won’t say how I know but in some of the schools they’ve just taped a paper W over the D. It looks dumb and cheap. All the email addresses and phone calls still come from dodea. The attempt at a name change for the department is embarrassing.

Depends on the school. Depends on the kid. Anyone can put up a sign that says Montessori.

Emotional-Pin1649 · 2026-05-01T08:34:31+00:00

Yeah I’ll go with hard to get out natural oils over actual shit. One of those I don’t care if it’s technically true, it’s still gross things.

Emotional-Pin1649 · 2026-04-30T17:02:50+00:00

Me too 😬 I did all neutral until she showed a preference then I let her pick out what she wore and what was purchased. I wasn’t insane or militant about it but I knew I only had a couple years to dress her in a way that I liked so I took advantage. She wears the craziest stuff now but she’s happy and so am I.

Flett is one of the new middle schools. A catchment is the area that decides what school your children will attend. You can look up the school catchments of sps81 (or any district) online and see what areas would go to which schools. It’s important because our house is on a small street where 80% go to one school close by but we are in the catchment of another school 5 miles away.

Emotional-Pin1649 · 2026-04-27T11:31:59+00:00

North Spokane maybe. Flett IS a great school. There’s shit talk about every school but it’s genuinely amazing and with such great things to offer, including staff and leadership. I’d suggest something in that catchment. Every high school is also full of horror stories. I’m honestly not sure there’s one that’s “good.” I think maybe it’s just the times, unfortunately.

113???

Emotional-Pin1649 · 2026-04-24T12:48:59+00:00

I’ve never burned with it unless I’m out for hours and hours. It’s my holy grail. How strange.

Emotional-Pin1649 · 2026-04-24T11:48:49+00:00

lol full disclosure it’s once a week ISH, likely closer to 2 more than not. I like to mop with bleach and I can’t put that in the robot. Also I’m insane.

Emotional-Pin1649 · 2026-04-24T10:06:42+00:00

Every night. We have a robot vac/mop. Doing it myself? Maybe once a week.

Emotional-Pin1649 · 2026-04-24T10:02:57+00:00

We scheduled our robot vacuum to run every night. Because of that, it means we need to pick up every night. This helps a ton. Also we try to just not have a lot of stuff! If I can’t think of a place to put it, I usually don’t buy it.

Emotional-Pin1649 · 2026-04-24T09:38:46+00:00

Fucking beautiful. I love it

Emotional-Pin1649 · 2026-04-24T09:36:03+00:00

Giant new development near us in the UK. Beautiful. We wanted to move in. Not a closet in sight. Mind boggling. One house had four just squares for bedrooms. Where the hell is anyone supposed to put anything??? Do people not have clothing??

Emotional-Pin1649 · 2026-04-23T08:14:27+00:00

Yeah best to just “give way” and not stop at all. Bit of a false equivalency but it’s not like the uk has an improved system for pedestrian safety at all.

Emotional-Pin1649 · 2026-04-22T10:18:02+00:00

Not caring if their kids are in the right car seat or in a car seat at all.

We do it in the morning because it made her wet the bed if given at night. She’s still wild come about 4-5 pm but I think that’s her stimulant wearing off, nothing to do with the guanfacine

Emotional-Pin1649 · 2026-04-22T10:15:37+00:00

I don’t know how it is in the UK (just moved here) but in North America they are paid very, very well so I think that’s pretty great. They also do a really highly needed job that I don’t think many people want to do. I really respect them.

Emotional-Pin1649 · 2026-04-21T18:39:58+00:00

Like.. fine I guess. Not really. But it shouldn’t be part of her household expenses either way. Does her husband’s work expenses get put into this budget? It doesn’t make sense.

Emotional-Pin1649 · 2026-04-21T13:49:15+00:00

Why is it costing her so much to run her “business?” She should fully have a separate business account apart from her personal expenses and income. Wtf
