| I would suggest talking to her doctor and see why she has the need to do this. I have had a problem for almost the past year now where my tubes that are suppose to drain pressure from my ears to my nose are either plugged or not working properly and the doctor cannot do anything except tell me to do... |

I am waiting to see what my review will be like (especially considering I see my coworkers/management face to face for only 4 days this year).
I have been thought them though at IBM. Sounds similar to your except for a few minute differences. |

| I used to live in Upstate New York (Buffalo NY) and I will tell you what most people have told anyone 20 - 35 living in that part of the state. "Get the f**k out of there". Look at places like Charlotte NC where many upstate New York residents have resettled. You probably got the degree because due ... |

| I am extremely good with direction although when telling other people, I get it mixed up. The only time I ever got lost was when I went with my family to visit some friends in Central Pennsylvania (the hamlet we were visiting was not even near a state route). Also, once I have been to a place, I wil... |

| Going to the media does not always work either. About 1 1/2 years ago, a family went to the media about their fight with the district and the attitude of quite a few people was that they did not care. The districts attitude was that the parents were simply looking out for their child (as if that was... |

The school cannot ignore what is in black and white. If they do, you can request a fair hearing a... |

| Lets see where to begin, I know, at how he is classified under the law: 1) Did the school consider him for classification under IDEA rather than Section 504 and if they denied him protection under IDEA, what was their reasoning. Simply put, IDEA offers better protections than section 504 and the IDE... |
