Thanks for your sympathies about the chick.

Me and my family need your prayers desperately.
My dad is a High school P.E. teacher. He tried to get between two boys that were going to fight. One was a 6 foot tall bully, and my dad is only 5 feet. He told the kid to knock it off, and got between them. The big kid grabbed my dad's arm, and tried to shove him out of the way. My dad's hand hit the kids tooth accidentally and made it loose. Then the bully proceeded to pick up my dad, spin him up-side down, and ram him against the chain link fence. My dad grabbed the fence, and held on. He called for help and a few other students got between my dad and kid, and held him back.
He came home with blood all over his face, his hand swollen. The bully however only has a loose tooth.

The district is trying to fire my dad, because it is easier to "get rid" of the teacher, then punish the student.

We welcome your prayers.
Thanks

That sort of thing is what the teachers Union is for.

He should not talk to them unless he has representation with him.

The first thing should be paid administrative leave. Do what the Teachers Union says and I also remember something about free legal help from the NEA.

Best!

Quote: My DH is also a retired teacher/coach. This sounds so familiar, the district always goes after the teacher, because the student's family always sues. A good friend of our's just went through this same thing. He did end up prevailing.

Good luck.

What happens when you skip a day collecting eggs because you are gone to a show? And you have an OCD number of chickens?

And I just heard someone out there singing the egg song! I only collected around midday...................and it doesn't count the four eggs I let Earlene keep because she seemed intent to sit.....................and she's a showgirl, what more can I say?

Shantih,

Thought I'd let you know how things went with the stock you chose eggs from. The judge commented my campines are the best he'd seen in years. And my BR won all three of there classes (11 birds entered) and BV & RV,

The partridge showgirl you brought to Stockton for me.....................I was taking a good look at her today, she is now a he, LOL He is the sweetest thing though, very friendly.

Good advice! I did this before and it worked.


Good luck!

Can you get some tweezers and pick some of it out. Its must have a blockage...or soften the food with drops of water, keeping very careful not to get it in her nose. Also try massaging the clump and rubbing her throat downwards to encourage her to swallow. Good luck!

Thanks.  I did what you said, and the chick is peeping, and moving around.  I have her under a heat lamp away from momma and it's siblings.  Poor thing.  It is the one that had it's wing picked to flesh.  So much trauma.  
I'm going to give her coconut oil in hopes of loosening anything else that is in there. 

Great, glad it worked for you! Hope she's out of the woods.
