I think tomorrow will be the last day Arden's school still stands. They wouldn't let her sit for her class picture because she didn't have on the same color blue as the rest of her class. You said a blue Polo, we put her in a Blue Polo! I really want to see them explain this shit to me, they already know they're on my shit side, now they want to push me further? Stupid f+$@s.

How petty and absurd. Idiotic. I wonder how many other children they excluded because their blue wasn't right? I am dumbfounded by this.

WTF??! That is absurd. And they totally deserve to be raked over the coals for that. You don't exclude a child for stupid, petty shit like that. Not cool.

Whoa, that's not cool at all. Excluding someone because they're different? Absolutely not cool.

+1 this is stupid. Maybe it's time to call the local news and expose these dumbass school admins?
I hope Arden isn't too upset.

Yeah this is a little far. Unless they sent home a request for that specific blue and/or provided it themselves, they have no right to deny her. I would say legally but hey I am not the lawyer here. How about morally.

I suspected that might be the case from recent posts. It's a bit of a catch 22. It's all but impossible for just one partner to quit, although my Dad quit decades before Mom did. On the other hand it's it's a real bear to go through withdrawals at the same time. I wish you both the best of luck with this.

Ditto. Good luck to both of you.

Agreed.
Our experience was considerably different. We forgot that it was picture day and he went to school with an old-school Star Wars t-shirt. We got the proofs and hung our heads in shame. The pictures were so good -- except for the corny picture on the shirt. We called the photographer and he photoshopped the picture to make it a blank t-shirt. THAT's customer service.

This bites, but I'm not surprised. I hate the public schools in my district with a passion. Fortunately Diane is in a position to home school her grand daughters, but I have basically abandoned hope for most public schools. I really fret for my grand kids who aren't in school yet.

Thank you for the coffee. I need it because I just purchased my GenCon tickets this morning. My wife, two of my sons, and I are going to GenCon this year!
We had such a great time at Owlcon this year that we have decided to go to the big show. I would have loved to go to Paizocon this year, but it doesn't work with the boys summer school plans.
That's awesome! Family trip to GenCon. I doubt if I'll make it this year, but next year I plan on doing both PaizoCon and GenCon.

Unless there was a specific shade of blue specified, yes, I would really want them to explain this to you ... and apologise and find a way to make it right. I really hate this sort of officious bullshit. Really, who does it hurt if one or more kids have a different shade of shirt.
I went to schools where wearing a uniform was mandatory (fairly standard here in Australia) and we frequently had school photos where kids were wearing the wrong shade, or wearing their sports uniform instead of the normal one, or the winter uniform instead of the summer one, or non-standard pieces or just not in uniform at all ... and I don’t remember anyone being excluded from a school photograph because of it (though I think there were a few detentions handed out for people not wearing uniform).

Koto is pretty cool to watch someone play - especially songs where they retune it in the middle! I had a friend in Japan that took traditional dancing lessons, and she had a friend on the koto and shakuhachi while she danced as a performance for my mother and aunt and me when they visited. It was very cool!
I'm mostly just trying to see if Freehold DM would actually die of jealousy...:P

Good luck to you both. I hope you're able to quit.
