mystes posted:Based on the other comments I think the parents are basically saying "the teacher and principal are being dumb and we'll try to get involved but it still might not have been a great idea to antagonize a teacher on a dumb power trip by saying 'it's none of your business' even if she's wrong" which may or may not be the right thing to say or a good lesson for OP but honestly is probably what I would say if I were OP's parent i mean, it’s not her assignment, it isn’t her business. her business as the english teacher is grading for spelling and punctuation errors, not the topic of a paper for a science class. teacher absolutely needs to mind her own business.

Getting flashbacks to when I was banned from writing or talking about dinosaurs at school when I was about 6 years old. Which was just before they realized I wasn't stupid, I just had such terrible eyesight I couldn't see the whiteboard which is why I'd spent the last year confused about what was going on.

Wouldn't this be infringing on this student's right to freedom of speech under the first amendment? Assuming the OP is American, which I was thinking they might be considering they're writing about a storm in the US. For sure, not all speech is protected under the first amendment, but you can't ban a topic as benign as the weather. The school board may wish to settle this issue quickly before it escalates to a lawsuit.

Kids absolutely do have first amendment rights, at least when public schools are involved. https://firstamendment.mtsu.edu/article/rights-of-students/ quote:The Supreme Court clarified in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969) that public students do not “shed” their First Amendment rights “at the schoolhouse gate.” Looks like it may depend on whether the OP attends public or private school wikipedia posted:The Tinker test, also known as the "substantial disruption" test, is still used by courts today to determine whether a school's interest to prevent disruption infringes upon students' First Amendment rights. Thanks for that link, it's interesting. In Morse v. Frederick, quote:the Court held that the speech could be restricted in a school environment, even though it wasn't disruptive under the Tinker standard, because "the government interest in stopping student drug abuse...allow[s] schools to restrict student expression that they reasonably regard as promoting illegal drug use." I think it may come down to whether it's considered disruptive or not, and whether the government has an interest in preventing that type of speech.  I am not a lawyer so I don't know any better, but I wish the kid success fighting back against censorship of weather talk.

Dress codes, locker searches, restrictions on profanity, rules about PDA, even content blockers on the computers could all be viewed as questionable constitutionally, but are all fairly commonplace - they only tend to run into issues when they are pretty explicitly targeted against a protected category. For example, banning a yarmulke or hijab? Probably not going to fly. Banning Big Johnson novelty misogynistic t-shirts? Not a court in the country would have a problem with that. Also, how in the gently caress are Big Johnson t-shirts still bejng produced?

So my friends work in like art therapy and special needs education, and there's a great local system/program that gives special needs kids art therapy and other activities. The problem is that the few boomers at the very top of the program are violently anti-video game and anti-internet. They don't understand either and think it's important that kids "focus on real things". As such, they have a strict rule that any story, picture, or art of any kind that is caught having any sort of video game or overly-internety related references are immediately trashed. They feel they need this sort of tough love to help the kids. It's insanely stupid and for a lot of these kids they have horrible home lives and online games are their only escape and social support networks. You've got kids who's only real friends are on minecraft or other games and they've formed genuine friendships there, but these awful child-hating boomers running the program will pick up the art they drew that depicts them and their friends inside a minecraft world and throw it in the trash. For the kid's own good of course.

mystes posted:Has whoever decided to institute that rule ever directly interacted with anyone born this millennium? Yes, and the reason kids are so weird and socially stunted that come to their program is because of the video games and internet, she blames all current childhood problems on video game and internet. They strongly believe that. So despite it being a government funded program, the 70 year old lady who passionately started it 30 years ago still gets the rule it like an absolute dictator. The fun of the non-profit sector. Everyone's just waiting for her to die or retire so they can immediately get rid of that rule. She's apparently an otherwise very nice lady who's passionate about helping kids with special needs via art therapy, but she will die on the hill of NO VIDEO GAME ART.

AITA for running up a $150 tab after my dad said “order whatever you want”?quote:My dad (45M) is an employee at a high end italian restaurant. He will occasionally play guitar during the busier hours on weekends and the owner compensates him for this via under the table cash. On this specific night it was just him and some other girl preforming - he was playing guitar and she was singing. They made $600 total from what I was told, so $300 each. He drank a whisky drink He drank a vodka drink He drank eight drinks.

AFAIK comps are usually pretty clear so it’s on the dad if he wasn’t clear about what the son could order. Also gently caress that place for no employee/performer discount even if dinner and 15 drinks or whatever is excessive

150 sounds a fair shake for 4 hours of guitar playing honestly when the total comp is $600, maybe even a bit on the low side

yea if he was just there hanging out doing nothing it's one thing but he was performing for like 2-3 hours for free, if dad had expectations for how much to spend he shoulda said something, 8 drinks is more than I would probably go for but not like crazy outrageous I guess? not much of a drinker idk

Where is 8 drinks coming from? Is that just an estimate based on guessing how much each drink should have been? I don't think the OP actually said that. In one comment it seems like he said 5 (he may have gotten five beers?), and it seems like he was waiting for a long period before he started which is why he ended up getting so many.

Did he actually have eight drinks though or was that just somebody riffing off the post where the one guy had eight drinks at his birthday dinner? Because if you're at a high end italian restaurant, I wouldn't be surprised to hit a bill of 150 with like an entree that isn't a pasta dish, a nice dessert, and maybe like three drinks?

Yeah, I was on team YTA up front, but after reading through the end it feels like they should've gotten a decent chunk of the cash anyway if they hadn't spent it on food and drinks. Everyone sucks for not communicating and working out a decent split of the compensation up front, but I feel less set against OP since they should've gotten paid for being a third of the band anyway.

$150 included a couple drinks that the father got. Also, assuming the bar tab included the food as well (the way it's written this admittedly isn't 100% clear but I think it's implied to be the case), I don't think the amount is at all crazy for a fancy restaurant, and his father still should have made $150 after paying the other person, and it's less than 1/3 of the take, so it just seems like the dad is angry that he couldn't exploit OP more? I think saying "lol I'm not bringing you again" would have been an ok reaction, or saying "if I bring you again keep it to $xx", but his father getting angry at him after not being clear and basically trying to exploit him for free labor just seems unreasonable. At least chalk this up to a learning experience. Basically it's just so easy to rack up that much at a fancy restaurant that it seems incredibly stupid of the dad to not be clear and then get pissed. People are jumping on the op for saying he ordered more than he would have normally but that's understandable since he was there for hours and he assumed his dad was getting some kind of discount I'm actually mystified at why like 95% of the comments are saying YTA on this one. mystes fucked around with this message at 23:27 on Apr 14, 2024 |

Shanghaied posted:AITA for telling my English teacher to mind her own business? This reminds me of a situation from high school where we had an autistic classmate who was really into the Titanic. On a long enough timeline, by which I mean more than a minute or two, he'd start spitting Titanic facts. It wasn't his fault, but it also wasn't what anyone else wanted to talk about. At the same time, this was a small school and a very congenial class in particular and we had adopted an unofficial policy of not excluding the one or two neurodivergent kids in the class. No one wanted to tell Milo to stop with the Titanic facts for fear of his feelings, and a teacher jumped on the grenade for us. When Titanic talk was banned, he'd still do it, but less so because he didn't want to get in trouble. Not saying that's what's happening here, but it did remind me.
