The price includes spay or neuter, and they take them to have it done. It's really a good deal since that is included.

I wondered where the Jemison folks were when this article first appeared in the news section. I watched it all day hoping for some fired up comments, but it never happened. Where is everybody?

Miscommunication or misunderstanding? I don't know. That is why I now sign the No Paddling paper instead of choosing that my kids can be paddled after contacting me first, because apparently that did not work in my case. So, for all of you that think the ones of us who sign No paddling are against discipline, you might want to think again. By the way, my children knew that, at the time, they were allowed to be paddled. I don't know if I told my 3rd grader she could be paddled ONLY after I was notified or not, but she probably would not have argued the point with her teacher anyway. She was only 8 years old, and had never been in any trouble at school. She just accepted what they did even though she did not understand it because she was innocent.

CrimusK8T, Not ignorant. I just wanted to be consulted when there was a problem. They knew this, they did not follow their own rules, resulting in punishing an innocent child. What lesson did that teach my child?

Likeitreallymatters, just because I don't allow my child to be paddled at school does not mean she is a problem. On the contrary, she is now in 8th grade, involved in numerous school and after-school activities, makes good grades, and is liked very much by all faculty at school. We have had only one other incident (on a bus) that could be considered a "problem". Believe me, she was punished greatly. Before the 3rd grade incident, I strongly believed it should be mandatory, but my daughter was also having health issues at the time, and the way it was handled was very, very inappropriate. Say what you want, but the teachers want parental involvement only when things are going right. Parents should be involved in ALL aspects of our children's lives.

For years, I did not sign the "do not paddle" waiver when I signed my kids up at school. I did state (there was an option) that I be notified if they were to be paddled. However, when my youngest child was in 3rd grade, she was paddled for something we determined later that she did not do. I did not even get a notice from the teacher AFTER the paddling. My child told me about it casually in a conversation. At first, I thought she was joking because I was not notified. But after questioning her further, I realized she really was paddled. It took me 3 days to get a NOTE from the teacher with the explanation of why she was paddled. In the mean time, I continued to question her about the incident. It turns out, it was a big misunderstanding. This is why I wanted to be notified BEFORE a paddling. Don't get me wrong, I spank my kids, but I do not trust the school faculty anymore to determine which child is telling the truth, and which child is not, just to get out of trouble. So, I now sign the "Do not punish" waiver because of a big misunderstanding between 3rd graders.

I agree. I have 2 school age children, but I'm still not sure I want them to get the vaccine. I am afraid it will make them sick. Besides, the flu has already been through the schools.

Thanks travlr, I must be thinking of the wrong family. I really hope the truth comes out, and, if this man is guilty, is held accountable. However, in this county, good luck with that. My daughter has a friend that this happened to her for about 4 years before it came out. I was extremely shocked, but after talking with the mother and my daughter talking with her friend, I beleived it was true. The friend, mother, and sister has since moved away because of this. The accused is still out and I think, not 100% sure, that he is remarried and about to have another baby. He apparantly knows the right people. He is going on with his sick life, and the ex-wife and children not only have been abused by what he did, but are still having to suffer by being uprooted from their home and friends. He was and is not being held accountable for what he has and is still doing to his family.

Is Simon's Dad a preacher also? Just wondering if it is who I am thinking about.

SEC, Please do not tell kids to get out of Chilton County. There are plenty of good people here, and we need more good kids to stay here to continue to improve this county. Why are you even on this website if you hate Chilton County so much?
