    Did he fear for his life?

    The principle and teacher have already both said they didn't think the SRO did anything wrong.

    Canada Canadian Forum

    I dunno. It could be the next carrier forum to go. At least three carrier forums have been eliminated due to inactivity (and one due to a merger with another carrier). If it's eliminated, it could easily be brought back, though, if there's a desire amongst Panther people to do so. But since...

    Canada Canadian Forum

    Poof. Gone. We used to have a rather large contingent of Canadian expediters, but I guess the open commercial borders with Canada has shrunk over the last 10-15 years, and thus the decline in active Canadian Expediters here on EO and the resulting nearly-dead Canadian forum. All of the threads...

    Did he fear for his life?

    I also think that plays a factor, but it wasn't specifically mentioned in any of the 3 articles I read. Most of the parents' desire to be able to quickly and easily contact their kids stems more from helicopter parenting than anything, even though that term wasn't specifically mentioned, either...

    Did he fear for his life?

    I read an article just the other day that told how 70 percent of schools with cell phone bans 5 years ago have reversed the bans. Instead of trying to sweep back the tide with a broom they're just riding the surfboards, I guess. Interestingly enough, it was the parents of the kids who has had...

    Did he fear for his life?

    I remember when calculators first started appearing in schools, and it drove teachers nuts. Cellphones in class have got to be one of the top frustrations for teachers (and the ones with video cameras, for SROs, as well LOL).

    Did he fear for his life?

    True, but the response was not appropriate for the "crime" of refusing to leave the classroom. Driving While Black has apparently evolved into Sitting While Black. Even protesters staging sit-ins are simple dragged away rather than picked up and slammed into the ground. This resource officer...

    I "liked" it but I like it a really, really lot. :clapping-happy:

    Who's on a Layover this weekend? Where?

    Clearly, the entire state of Missouri drove to Nashville to watch Vandy beat Missouri yesterday, and they're all driving home today. This is ridiculous.

    World Taekwando Federation. And of course, the CIA's recently created Wikileaks Task Force.

    Who's on a Layover this weekend? Where?

    Delivered last night from Michigan to Hoptown. Picking up Sunday morning just north of Nashville going to Claycomo.

    Time for a swim

    That particular one was $65,000. They range from $25,000 to $85,000, but each one is pretty much a custom job. Hidden Pools was acquired by Invisipools out of Phoenix, so unless or until they get a dealer network set up, I imagine the farther away from Phoenix you are the more it's gonna cost.

    Classic Movie Saturday

    I though you were going to watch Grumpy Old Men or something.

    Forum Tip Even More New Features

    Expressing negative opinions is fine, but that's not really what most forums strive for, EO in particular. There will be a percentage of users who will be offended when their posts are disliked, which just leads to bad feelings and a negative tone towards the whole experience. Not to mention...

    I debated with myself on the WTF one, since it's in such ubiquitous use on the Net. But it's gone now. :)

    There are plenty of fleet owners and carriers who will let you take your dog with you. And if you have a smartphone you can use that for GPS until you get get a dedicated one. Hang in there.
