Where did I say anything about a lawsuit??

Really thinking it would be worth going to jail for!

That's what I was getting at in my post in the other thread, that based on our experiences, we all read something different into each post. You didn't say anything about a lawsuit, I didn't take it that way but for some reason that's what CS read into it. We all need to remember to take things at face value and not read "into" a post our own spin.

Often when I read someone elses take on a certain post I think man, I would have never seen it that way. But I think there is a danger in tearing apart every word and not just taking the post in as a whole.

I have never been involved in a lawsuit and do not promote them.

Then I apologize. I guess I remember the old Family Board days of all the bogus lawsuits and posters on this board who happily admitted commiting fraud of every kind and suing everybody they came across. I guess I still associate MC with the people who USED to be here and I was wrong to immediately assume a thing like that.

When I read what you wrote, I immediately assumed that you were advising the OP to sue the teacher or school for discrimination

I have given you positive feedback to undo my earlier neg, and again, I'm very sorry if I misjudged your post and your intentions.

PS - I'm sorry. I can't give you any repution yot. It says I have to spread it around first. Does anyone know how this works? How long before you can rep someone again? How many people do you have to rep before it's spread around enough?

I won't forget to do it, though. As soon as the tool allows me to, I'll make sure to positive rep you to undo my earlier neg.

Not to worry. I've got you covered "buddy."

Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya
Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya
Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya
Oh lord, kumbaya

Cool all the way.

What does kumbaya mean?

Nevermind , I found it on google.In case anyone else was wondering too it means "come by here"

I've been an observer through all of this. I was neither involved in the first incident nor in the melee that ensued last night but I feel a story I once heard could possibly help prevent future differences....

Here's the story...
A certain little boy had developed a bad temper, flaring up at quite small things.

After failing in all attempts to help him reign in this disturbing habit, his father one day gave him a bag of nails. "Listen, son," he said, "every time you lose your temper, go and hammer a nail in the fence. OK?"

The boy reluctantly agreed, and by the end of the day there were 37 nails in the fence. Over the next few weeks, this helped him control his anger, and the number of nails in the fence each day gradually dwindled. Finally the day came when not one nail had been hammered into the fence, and his father praised him, gave him a cuddle and suggested that he now pull one nail out for each day he was able to hold his temper in check. The days passed, and soon he was able to tell his dad that all the nails were gone.

Taking him by the hand, his father led him to the fence. "You have done well, my son, but… look at all the holes in the fence! It's never going to be the same, is it?"

"Well, no, I suppose it isn't," the boy replied.

"You see, son," his father went on, "when you say things in anger, they leave scars in the person you're angry with, just like the holes in the fence. You can put a knife in a person and then pull it out, and it won't matter how many times you say you are sorry, the wound is still there. And a wound caused by angry words is as bad a physical one. Be careful how many you inflict, Sorry sometimes won't be able to "undo" the hurt".




So in applying this to my personal life, although I get extremely angry at times, I try and think of the nail hole it's gonna leave and if it's worth "going there" over it.

I've read that before and how true it is. I always enjoying being reminded of such valuable stories. So thanks for sharing that because I had forgotten about it.

I'm glad I'm not a fence and am a human with the capability of healing.

I've never heard the story but I think it's a good one.

It's a good story and true in my opinion.

I hope you don't mind but printed that story, to share with my kids and my best friend.....

Thank you for the apology!

I was not one of the big posters on the Family board but I have been here at MC long time.
I came to MC daily for the coupons and shopping and I continued to come every single day after the Family board closed.
Our family has probably had more of a reason to sue a school and a teacher than this and we did not do it.
We also had a good reason to sue a Doctor and didn't do that either.

This is why I said "As for that teacher, it is about time they are taking action!" Wow! 5 times!
