Had an… interesting experience trying to get to the airport today.

We live in NJ, and were heading over to JFK in NY for vacation - myself, wife, kid (stressful doesn’t begin to cover it).

I scheduled an Uber in advance, and when it arrived, the driver said he wouldn’t take us to NY. Thankfully we were able to get a Lyft… but man, this was kinda the last straw for me for Uber. My experience with Lyft as a passenger has been miles ahead of Uber.

Anyone else run into similar situations?

Crazy ethics issue. Client 1 has VPO against man who later becomes Client 2. This is the 4th VPO this year, previous ones dismissed.

In the meantime, State has filed rape charges against man who becomes Client 2 and A/B charges against Client 1. Client 1 also files for divorce.

Clients reconcile (which is how they both end up clients...) and want VPO dismissed, divorce dismissed, and criminal charges dismissed.

DHS gets involved and want to remove the child from Client 1's custody. (1/2)

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick. No penalties for late work, taking excuses for attendance, lower academic and behavioral standards... We were beginning to make so much progress on transforming our school culture, but this year is erasing that and then some. Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?
