Is your daughter's mouth worth $80g?

I have no sympathy for them. At all.

But, it seems to me that if they were wrong enough to have to pay $80,000 than the academy really doesn't deserve to have it back.

 

What's odd here, though, is that they're likely to end up spending close to the $80k, if not more, in lawyers fees defending the decision not to give over the check. I'd ballpark the Court of Appeal cost at $40k alone, and there was the preliminary hearing at the trial court plus a potential trip to the Florida Supreme Court, which should push the cost north of $100k.

Also, the confidentiality agreement itself seems odd. It only allowed the principal to disclose it to his wife, not his daughter. And the daughter didn't disclose the terms of the agreement, only its existence. It's unusual for the agreement to bar disclosure of a settlement since the existence of a settlement is often put on record at the court.

 

He was over 50 when she was born. Am I doing that correctly?

 

If she's a freshman or sophomore at Boston College, yes.

And what was with that Halloween(?) costume of her with a cardboard box on her head that had "Sylvia Plath's oven" written on it? WTF? Is she Sylvia Plath? I'm so confused.

 

At first, I thought this thread was about getting your kid braces.

 

This is why some people were never intended to have big voices. And another reason why Facebook is the dah-bull.

 

I know that. I'm trying to figure out if she was the oven or if she was jokingly being Sylvia Plath with her head in the oven. Either way, it's moronic.
