Tim Cole said:Again this thread is freaking lame. To sum it up, you're hearing ONE side of a multi sided story. Tons of good advice has been both given, and ignored. The only point to this thread is for attention, and I'd say there has been more than enough.
Oh wait...crap.
Meh, I'm done arguing. Me and the adults don't see eye to eye, and nothing's going to change that. Bye!
Somebody PM buenafortuna the link to this thread. See what she thinks!AxtoOx said:
As far as me not posting, what else do I have to post? I've told you my story, I've told you my mom's story. What else is there?
You guys continually say that there is more to the story. There isn't. I've just about given up on getting my rig back by now. I don't know if I can face my teacher anyway because I don't think that he will believe me
He just has no reason to resolve this situation. He doesn't like me. This is his chance to revel in my suffering. I might go to my counselor, though. I'm too busy with school right now to think about all of this.
I'm shaking in my boots. Why not Rockgurl while we're at it. Remember her?Alex said:
Edit:had wrong person.

Who the hell is that, and why would I care? Forgive me if I am wrong, but isn't she the one who doesn't even play, but is just here for the OT fodder?
Grow a pair man....I'd LOVE for you to show your mom this thread and let HER respond.
Also, the STOLEN tag in your sig is a bit much....isn't this thread ENOUGH attention????
Aight the stolen tag will be gone.Tim Cole said:
As far as showing my mom, I think I might. I'll let her write a reply. How would you guys like that?
Alex said:
Dude, that would be freaking awesome!
PS, after you show her and hear the other side of the story, tell her to let me know how much she wants for your computer.
joejnyc said:Thank you, Jeff and Alex for making me think about my own teaching practice. Now time to drive home and practice some arco.
I'm glad you can see where I am coming from. I also see your point, and it makes sense given what you do. As someone who goes to work every day to help the kids that don't have the 4.0, I can see why your focus is on giving the time to those who need it. You work in a place where there probably aren't many people who can coast through school and ignore the teachers. I went to a school where most of my peers (and I) could. Many teachers there were great and let those of us who had no trouble learning work at our own pace on whatever we wanted, so long as we didn't cause any problems. I didn't do the homework, but the 90's on the tests were enough for them. Or at least they were by the end of high school when the marks were all for tests and not for the daily busywork
Your own teaching is probably just fine - don't think you need to change it because of what we say. Remember, you were a smart kid in school
Now I'll go pick up the stick and practice too
well, after wasting about 2 hours of my life reading this...i've only learned one thing out of this.........
...when i turn 18, i'm driving up north a few hours and gettin into canada

And Tim, I don't think you should call Alex the attention whore. He just ranted about his mom doing something that I think we can all agree was over the top, and then a bunch of primates posted about suing/killing/blackmailing her, and then the parents told them to **** off, and then the kids who don't have their heads up their asses (yours truly, I think) started an argument, and here we are! Alex has done little if any arguing, it's the rest of us that are the problem.
Although I will agree that Alex has tiny nuts.
Seriously though Alex, show her this thread. It would be interesting to find out her side of the story. I know I said it was a bad idea earlier, but now that the rig is gone the harm is less.
And Alex, do you not see the irony in obeying a command from the same person who told you to grow a pair? The only way you can hope for sexual affirmation is to start sticking it to the man. Tim is a good place to start.
Edit: I got dibs on your bass!
I love all the threats to move to Canada! I'm sure that'd be great, until you actually get a job and start paying the Canadian tax rates. I have to think if it was such a panacea, the population would be quite a bit higher than it is. (I like Canada too! I've always had fun whenever I've been there).

Yes, this is fantastic advice. Your mom will reward you for taking the initiative to post this family problem on the internet. Gee, maybe she will even sign up and tell us "her side" of the story.
