  2. I got an offer I couldn’t refuse for my wallet so I cashed out.
  3. I use ip cam viewer on iOS, dunno if there’s an android version
  4. I use an old dell vostro it’s a 2tb drive as a storage space. Plenty of freeware solutions out there to handle it for you.
  5. I have Foscam C1, they are ok at best. If you can find a deal on em they are worth it but not the full price.
  6. And my point was, you claim faculty can and are trained to spot this. Yes, they should be. What would have happened if we didn’t move? How many other kids are in our old school struggling and going unrecognized.
  7. You can spin it to fit if it makes you feel better. Point is, if we didn’t move, my son was headed down a bad path and we tried everything we could as parents. Therapists, testing, recommendations, you name it. If we could get to it on our own as parents, we tried. None of the recommendations from outside the school were acknowledged and he was labeled in the school system as a trouble maker. Hose teachers didn’t give two shits nor could they pick up on anything. He was shoved aside so he didn’t care nor want to try. The new school gave him a fresh slate, they listened to us and the ball got rolling there. Don’t try to feed me more BS because the system failed once, and it is obviously failing with other kids. Edit: not sure if you are implying that we didn’t try to work with him, but we sure as fuck did. We gave recommendations to the school on things to try when he would run into issues but they were ignored. We asked for him to be evaluated so it originated within the system and it was on record so his issues could be addressed but they were ignored. I always found it ironic when teachers would lecture us about education being reinforced at home, yet they wouldn’t listen to a damn thing we’d tell them. He’s our kid, we know him better than they did. The new school listens. Much better education system here and they seem to listen to outside sources, unlike the other school.
  8. I’ve kept out of this thread, but here is where I’ll chime in. The above bolded is bullshit. Total BS. At my sons old school, he was simply labeled a trouble maker. It started when he was in K and continued into age 6-7. We were told he is basically unteachable. We have battled with him and the school for years over this. He never wanted to complete assignments, disrupted class, textbook type behavior. Hated going, wanted to stay home and the works. Not one teacher said anything aside from snide comments about us as parents not working with our kid at home, special schools and etc. He was treated like an outcast and everyone could see why he wouldn’t want to go to school. Not one god damn teacher offered any guidance, help or suggested anything to us despite our pleas. We moved. Boom, new school and on day fucking one a counselor (not a fucking teacher) pulled him aside and tested him with our permission. He has a speech issue, reading disorder and teachers never once saw it. Magically, he is doing excellent after working with this counselor. He just missed the gifted program, tests at a high school level and loves school. New school counselor picked up on it and now at age 8 he is a completely different kid. Likes school, wants to go and enjoys it. My point in all of this is, no, the teachers can’t pick up on this. Judging by the teachers at our old school, they can barely pick up a Starbucks. Those teachers were barely out of college, no experience and basement pay. I’m not 100% faulting teachers. They are inundated with kids, parents and rules but to not listen to parents when we plead that here is a bigger issue and not help get us pointed to somewhere that we can help them is a failure of the system. You’ll read similar stories like this everywhere though. Bad kids do shit, parents try and plead for help yet nothing ever gets done. THAT is the fucking problem here. Kids feel cast aside because they basically are sometimes. Once labeled as a troublemaker, why bother to get out of that label if everyone believes it, right?
  9. It’s a lot fucking harder to sue for this than people think.
  10. I dealt with CL on my first one. Picked up one for $100 after much searching, tuned it up and used it for a year while I figured out what I would really need. Got a better one after a year from a relative and flipped my original CL buy for $250.
  11. Both of my kids had one also, hated it after a few months. Begged to go back, so be sure or keep your old bed just in case.
  12. A hellcat wrangler would be badass, but I’d even settle for the 6.4 in one ffs.
  13. When you haul ass like that, who gives a shit?
  14. I laughed way harder at this than I should have
  15. All of the soft covers and multi fold ones I had on my old truck leaked like crazy so I went back to the hard cover.
  16. Craigslist, armslist, eBay, etc.. I’ve never had good luck scouring myself.
  17. What image host is everyone using now that photobucket is an asshole?
