I thought a Supreme Court decision last year made it so the State has to fund all private school or none? Isn’t that the point of this bill?

Spousal privilidge means you don't have to answer. You can't intentionally mislead.

Are you ever looking for additional DM's? I have availability on some occasions, and would be curious about the time commitment needed to help run some games.

Good.
It's ridiculous that local school boards have to go to voters every year begging for funding, but then those dollars follow students to private schools which never have to win a vote.
Private schools can raise tuition if they want/need and that only affects the families involved, but public schools need a majority of the community to agree on a budget and taxes?
Seems really unfair to the local schools. And I say this as a product of private schools.

It’s a playoff game not a scrimmage, so I think they made the right choice.

In the haste he got his car stuck sideways in the parking space, hence the damage.

I have a NextBase 522GW and compatible rear cam. They cover a wide view but do not provide much in the way of side view. Overall happy with it, seems like the app has gotten better, no issues with recording in the cold of winter, easy to transfer data from card to computer. I do think there are probably better options on the market, higher res, better auto record features, etc. but yeah, overall a good camera.
Lold at dishwasher :)

“I wanted to warn people not to park next to a white jaguar with SHAGUAR plates”
Why? To reward them for their entitled bullshit?
If I see this vehicle I’m going to park an eighth of an inch away from him. Then I’ll call some friends to come by and do the same. Then sit back and wait for the show to start.

They make skidtex which is basically sand that you add to paint specifically for this purpose. They also make adhesive treads. Local hardware will have both

That really hits home we are/were in the same exact situation. My daughter actually likes going to school now and hates being late. Odd for a teen right? She has only just started high school this year but my oh my is she absolutely excelling where she is now. Completely changed person for the better and fuck this noise I will fight for these small schools with everything I have.

Kinda in the same boat broke ass's most of the time but we did save enough to buy a home and chose our location specifically because we at the time had an elementary and middle school with choice for high school. Then the new district closed the middle school and forced the kids to bus a few towns over to a decrepit school with a collapsing gym roof and a building that is literally sinking into the ground every day. I like smaller local controlled elementary and middle schools but favor a larger regional approach in unpopulated areas like where we live. For example we used to live in Craftsbury and while the high school is nice and was recently redone there are just very few opportunities to learn there. It's impossible to have the varied fields of possible study a larger school can provide in a place like that. I am not knocking it and it's a fine school if you plan to stay in VT and be a farmer or something but there are no advanced classes in much of anything stem related or outside the very basics. Just can't get a break it seems. As usual the most dangerous time to live in VT is while the leg. is in session.

Hopefully they file a report and the jag driver is at least financially responsible. Partly why I wanted to post this, stay safe out there.

This is a high school basketball game, not an MMA match.
If they want to talk about fairness, whatever. But "safety" has absolutely nothing to do with it, and I can 100% guarantee that coach would have no problem if their team wanted to scrim against the boys team once in awhile for practice.

Yeah I blocked that person because I have no interest in arguing with someone that has tunnel vision and an agenda outside of doing what is best for the children of this state. I grew up in the NEK as a severely disadvantaged kid. I pay out the ass to live where I do now so my kids have better opportunities than going to North Country where if you aren’t a redneck that loves Trump you are bullied into being suicidal. That’s the irony….SJA is the epitome of inclusion, social and emotional safety and superb education. All that persons arguments are about everything other than what is best for children.
ETA: Like you, I have a child who has thrived at one of these schools after having gone through hell for the first 7 years of public school here in the NEK. She spent her entire school career depressed and verging on being suicidal because she wasn’t like the other kids and they made sure she knew it. She has never been healthier or happier or more accomplished and she’s only a freshman. The problem isn’t what these schools are, it’s that the rest of our schools are so mediocre or poor in comparison.

Well I’m all for justice, but vigilante justice rarely nets the results we want. That said I’d be.. very angry.. if this happened to me. Dangerous to go fuckin around either way.

Hope the OP of the FPF has done this. Fortunately I wasn’t the recipient of this aggressive behavior.

Prevent having to testify is WAY different than giving misleading testimony.
