    8 year-old assaulted on bus. Advice plz.

    Every child does have a right to an education, even the ones causing a disturbance. The schools have channels to educate these students differently. The problem is are we funding those channels. When a school is told to educate all these kids by law, and the government says but we will only...

    8 year-old assaulted on bus. Advice plz.

    I actually empathize with your general statement. A teenager should be able to have the competency skills to own their actions. Given the limited amount of information we know about the teenager. He rides a bus to an after school program with younger kids and can be aggressive to peers. I...

    I have a feeling @FriendlySpartan you didn’t grasp the sarcasm in my reply.

    8 year-old assaulted on bus. Advice plz.

    Fair point. Instead of holding the people in charge of the situation responsible and trusting them to do their job, as a group of people hearing only one side of the story, should form up a group to harass the older child. Maybe go to his house as a group. You know, run them out of town. We...

    8 year-old assaulted on bus. Advice plz.

    That is not selfish. It is accurate. It is accurate. The school is making sure the younger child will not be on the same bus going forward. As the parent, there is not a next step where now I will make sure the older child does not hurt anyone else. The administration is responsible for the...

    8 year-old assaulted on bus. Advice plz.

    I know a lawyer who sues schools for a living for issues similar to this. It is a different situation than a normal injury or assault lawsuit. The nuances of Education Law have their own channels, as most specific areas. I am sorry you are not getting the outcome you want. I am glad that...

    Kudos to Jamie Pollard

    He clearly needs to invest in a Time Machine, so we can all resolve all of our regrets and live in different time periods!!!!!

    What is your ONE regret in life (so far)?

    I never should have invented that Time Machine and tried living in the 60’s. I screw it all up for Iowa State Athletics.

    Big 12 Conference Realignment

    Look Everyone, this discussion about Big 12 schools and sharing opinions is cool and all, but can we get back to opinions on Detroit and other posters counting the amount of time Detroit is mentioned? I would appreciate it.

    since he graduated from Iowa, probably not.

    Nailed It.

    The answer is simple and without flaws. He is unaware of his powers. This is the moment in his arc where he must begin to choose to be good or evil.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    We go 6-6 and get a bowl game with that schedule. If you think that is out of line then you are undervaluing this team or overvaluing the SEC.

    Big 12 Considering $1B in Private Equity

    Maybe I am missing something, so my apologies if I am, but this equity firm isn’t considering investing money in the conference so they can sponsor games in Europe. They are doing it because they see profit in the margins. I think the idea that games could be played in Europe is a marketing...

    2024 Transfer Portal Tracker (Wrestling)

    Not something any of you don’t already know, but compared to the other sports and their off-seasons, there is some real **** going on in Wrestling this year.

    Financial Partners Matter Right Now ("We Will Collective" is separate from Cardinal & Gold Wrestling Collective)

    Thanks for posting that link. Page 27-31 outline most of it, but page 28 is probably the biggest factor for the difference between track and wrestling. It is conference distribution allocations.

    There hasn’t been local Iowa State coverage on KxNO for years! Nobody here is complaining about local sports radio going National. We are all tired of hearing about Iowa constantly anyway.
