  1. Hi! I’ve been through hell and back with Fort Bend ISD Special Education. Once you request testing, they have 90 school days to complete it and then 60 to implement findings. It took us from basically early November of my sons first grade year until Spring Break to get him out of a general education class room. During that time, he was illegally suspended three times. I should have sued then. We were put into the Behavioral Support Services class at a different school. That went w pretty good through 2nd grade. I will say that we had an AMAZING teacher. The rest of the admin and teacher in that school - not so much. The kids in this program don’t fit typical special education. Their outbursts are often violent, so they get labeled as bad kids. They get forgotten for things like bench mark testing. This teacher fought for these things. Beginning third grade, Fort Bend found it brilliant to move us away from the ONE teacher my son bonded with and moved us to a school that would feed into his middle / high school. The principal told another parent she didn’t want this program on campus. They didn’t set it up correctly. They had a new guy that had never run a BSS class running it. My son did 10 worksheets from August until Thanksgiving. He was assaulted by the teacher. He was bullied and insulted by the teacher. The teacher took away bathroom privileges. I could continue…. We hired an advocate at this point. I highly recommend you use an advocate any time you meet with the school. The asshole was removed and our second grade teacher was moved over. The district had a meeting with us and formally apologized. We were given 40 hours of compensatitory services. One of my sons friends is around 400 hours of compensatitory services. My son is now home. He’s killing it doing online public education through Connection Academy. He will not set foot on a Fort Bend Campus again. I’m looking at GED at 16 or whatever to junior college or tech. School was ruined for him because he didn’t fit. TLDR: FortBend ISD special education is trash. Get an advocate for any ARD meetings, as they know all the rules and everything the district is supposed to do for you.

  3. My wife and I have been through hell and back with our son and schools. At one point the asst director for Fort Bend ISD special education department was thanking us for not suing them. My son is now in Connections Academy - the online public education school. He’s killing it and happier than ever. My biggest advice is that if you can afford it - hire an advocate for any and all ARD meetings with the school. Also, as soon as you start public school (if you go that way), ask to get the testing process going. It is a long and slow process.
  4. Nope. Fuck him. Seeing #1 sitting on the side of the track is awesome.
  5. No, they don’t. The Ds control the Senate of and when Manchin’s owners tell him to be democrat.
  6. We went to battle field Vegas. I shot the .50 and the mini gun. The .50 is mounted but it’s still awesome to fire. I did one of their machine gun packages and added on the mini and .50. The wife also shot and loved it.
  7. All of this is to force Congress or the Supreme Court to act?
  8. Really? They are going to start this at 10pm Vegas time? Wow.
  9. I wonder how much a corner balcony room at Cosmo will be that weekend.
  10. Trump won’t pay for what he’s done, but maybe, just maybe there is enough to keep him from ever holding office again.
  11. Saw a guy on Instagram that was at the Dubai store. People were flipping them right outside the store.
  12. Some WWE stars were stuck in Saudi for a bit over a payment issue or some such thing. The Prince could easily have them arrested on any bullshit he deemed necessary. He could ground planes.
  13. They will eventually release online. Too much money to be made.
  14. My son does online public school at home. I work from home. We are together everyday. It has taught me patience. I also wouldn’t trade it for anything.
  15. I bought Fluor at $3.50. Sold at $20. I don’t know if they will ever return to their days of $75 a share.
  16. Awesome. I love the MG. The crew I’m with have decided to not hit COTA for a while and travel instead. Shooting for Canada 2023.
  17. Alpine went pink for this race. Should be Blue for the next races.
  18. We have a dog. We do not live at the property. It’s a family place, so I’m looking for something I can set and forget.
  19. Fuck Horner and Max… that meltdown was amazing. Loved it. Lewis and Russel doing great with the 3-4 finish was just the icing on the cake. If you watch through the ESPN app, the race has always been trash for me. I’ve had much better luck with YouTube TV.
  20. They shit all over the dock. I don’t want to injure them, just don’t want bird shit all over the dock.
