I thought the exact opposite. I was thinking the family didn't want the results released.
I would think the family are the ones with the power to release the results - not the hotel??

Dear Editor, please fix the headline to 'learning' instead of 'tuition'.

Think of a 5 gallon bucket, which can hold 5 gallons of water. Fill that halfway with soil/fill, - how much water do you think that bucket will hold - less or more water? So if the area floods now with say 5 gallons of water and you add fill, when you then add 5 gallons of rain some of that rain will be absorbed into the soil (and not seen) but the rest of the rain will simply flood any neighboring area that is lower. Does fill in one area solve the overall problem of flooding in the entire area? NO!

I saw a copy of the announcement. It's headed 'Dog Eat Your Lunch' - which says a lot. After several paragraphs about the FNM being the cause of the Russian invasion and soaring inflation and hence the price of gas here at home, it ends with... "there will be no changes at this time".

Make all new staff hires contribute to their pensions. SIMPLE.

I concur.

I usually agree with blaming the parents but in this case I can't.
A kids anger issue is something that I dealt with personally as a kid and it had nothing to do with the home - normal two parent home, parental love and all that.
For me it wasn't even puberty - it was earlier than that - I just had uncontrollable rage which unleashed itself under fairly specific circumstances. I would literally black out (not in the sense of passing out) and come too in the act of complete rage. Thankfully I never had a stick or rock in my hand at the time, but I remember the look of terror of the people around me when i came too, and I was horrified that I could have killed someone in those few moments of lost time.
After literally trying to attack my sister through my father I decided myself that I needed to get this under control before I seriously harmed someone (and most likely myself, because I was a tiny child). It took a lot of introspective, which was hard at such a young age, and I finally figured out at what point in a conflict I had to walk away. At first conflicts ended with me just crying from extreme anger (which is better than fighting). But that was too embarrassing so I learned to walk away as soon as I even sensed a conflict in the making.
Even now I use the same technique because I know that rage is just below the surface.

Not going to happen. These guys are criminals at heart. If they can get away with something... they WILL do it.

My God! This dude has a seat in Parliament? I guess you just need to be popular but surely a basic education should also be required.

So I should trust the government with more of my money? ROFL!!!
