Us Parental Consent Forms

You cannot be absolutely required to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, but states have varied laws regarding what students are required to do and how it is done.Here is a link to a website (last updated in 2003) that shows the requirements for each state:http://undergod.procon.org/view....I know that several people have cited the West Virginia case and the Supreme Court ruling for it, but there have been a few decisions since then that affect how that freedom can be exercised.In Virginia, the pledge is required as a part of citizenship education, so it can actually be required of students in schools. If a student objects to participating, they can "opt out" with parental consent. There is even a form to fill out. I don't remember if there is a requirement to state the reason, though. I recently had this conversation with a student who was upset that she is being required to recite the pledge in her first class each morning. She wants to opt out, so I looked into it for her.In many states in which the pledge is required to be done by the school, students only have to stand respectfully. If students wish to remain seated there are protocols to follow.Your grades cannot be lowered for failure to comply. You cannot be punished in class or treated differently for non participation.  I don't know if you are in a required compliance state, but there are definitely protections in place for you. You can find out the requirements for your state by doing a simple online search, but your local school board office should also be able to tell you what you need to do.If you can't get the help you need, or you find that the school is making your life difficult because of this, you can contact the ACLU.It does seem rather odd to enforce patriotism in the land of the free, doesn't it?I love America because it was set up to protect our natural rights. It is an imperfect country run by imperfect people, but it allows us to fix it when it is broken.

Here are a few nobody has mentioned yet:Expect to own a front-loading washing machine, which you can pick up second hand for as little as £20, and not have seen a top-loading washing machine since the 1960s.Not have air conditioning, because if you did have it you would only need it for two weeks a year and it isn't worth the bother.Marry at 16 (with parental consent in England and Wales, without it in Scotland). There are restrictions which say that a person in authority, such as a teacher, cannot have sex with a person who is under their authority and is 16 or 17 unless they marry them first, but other than that the age of sexual consent is 17 in Northern Ireland and 16 everywhere else. You can own your own flat and live wholly independently from the age of 16, although if you are under 17 and deemed to be in moral danger (i.e. a prostitute or addict) you can be sent back to your parents or into care until you turn 17. At 18 you are fully adult and can do absolutely everything except drive a heavy goods vehicle or own a business which sells alcohol, for which you have to be 21. It used to be that you had to be 21 to be an MP or town councillor and iirc 27 to be a magistrate, but now you can do those at 18 too. For some purposes the voting age is as low as 16.Live in a country (Scotland) where the leaders of the three largest political parties are all women and two of them are lesbians, and nobody thinks this odd.Live in a country where the poet laureate, the most popular and iconic sports presenter and several of the most popular stand up comics are all lesbians and nobody thinks this odd.Live in a country where one of the most signNow artists and political pundits (Grayson Perry) is a large, butch, straight man who routinely dresses (in public, while giving his weighty political opinions) as an over-made-up six-year-old girl in a frilly frock, and even the right-wing press only grouches that he's probably not a real transvestite like popular novelist, comedian and political pundit Eddie Izzard, but just showing off.Live in a country where the music reviewer of one of the most right wing papers (The Daily Mail) is a passionate Lady Gaga fan, and the book reviewer is fond of science fiction and comic gay romances.Live in a country where the main right-wing party is passionately in favour of LGBT rights and sending aid to the Third World, and every major party is opposed to the death penalty and in favour of welfare and the NHS - although they have different ideas on how best to fund and run them.Live in a country where the main dispute between left and right is over state versus commercial ownership of major services and resources.Be sure that you will get to vote if you are entitled to do so. The government periodically sends a form to every household which you fill in to say who lives at that address and is eligible to vote (any changes can also be made online). A few weeks before an election everybody who is entitled to vote is sent a cardboard ticket with their name and address on it, which they take along to the local polling station where they are crossed off a list. That we know of, we get about 20 fraudulent votes out of a population of 65 million.Live in a country where your welfare payments are yours to do what you want with, and not given to you as food stamps or paid directly to your landlord. I can see the arguments on both sides, especially if the recipient is a gambling or drug addict or has serious learning difficulties, but the fundamental difference is that the US seems to treat welfare like charity, which is in the control of the giver, whereas we see it as a payment from a state-owned insurance firm - the British welfare state is even called National Insurance. If we are entitled to a payout from that state insurance system we don't expect it to tell us what to do with the money, any more than we expect our car insurer to tell us that our insurance payment can only be spent on a new car, if we chose to have it paid in cash.Not be given special consideration at university or let off your academic work just because you are good at some sport, unless sport is actually what you are studying - and especially not be let off from a rape charge because you're good at some sport. In fact, if you're famous you're more likely to be charged for minor offences, or even falsely set up for an offence, because the press pays so well for scandal that it may be worth some con artist's time to invent some.Edit: Plus, also, live in a country where almost nobody has heard of Ayn Rand, far less read her, and rightish-wing newspaper The Daily Telegraph felt obliged to explain her to its readership as "An unpleasant Russian-American fruitcake".But perhaps the most important of all is this. If we elect a Prime Minister, and he or she turns out to be very bad at it, they can be heaved out on the grounds of incompetence. We don't have to impeach them: all that's required is a successful vote of "no confidence" to be passed in Parliament, in order to force a new general election.

Yes!I was 15, and I woke up with the worst headache of my entire life.My mom, thinking it was just a normal migraine, gave me some Excedrin Migraine, and sent me off to school. School started around 8:30 am or so, and sitting in class I just couldn’t focus. I felt very nauseous and dizzy, on top of the headache, and my head became so heavy I couldn’t lift it up. I remember my teacher yelling at me that her class was not the place to sleep and I had better pay attention!My symptoms continued to get worse and I stumbled out of the classroom, ignore my teacher yelling at me to come back, and went as quickly as I could to the restroom, where I threw up. I passed out and woke up on the floor a couple of minutes later, where a classmate was looking over me, concerned, and she ran and got a teacher.At this point it was getting hard to walk and I remember feeling really hot and sweaty. Two teachers had to basically drag me to the office where I laid on a couch with a warm rag on my head, throwing up into a bucket while they called my mom to come get me.By the time my mom got there I couldn’t walk, and my headache was so bad I was screaming. Still thinking this was a normal migraine, she decided to take me to an urgent care for treatment, instead of taking me home to sleep it off. That decision saved my life.We got to the urgent care and the doctor just had a gut feeling something was wrong. I was alert and talking and making sense, but he just knew something was off. So I was rushed to get a head CT.As soon as I was in the CT machine he was on the phone calling a helicopter to transport me to the children’s hospital. There was a fairly large amount of blood leaking into my brain. They gave me in the helicopter to ease my discomfort, and honestly all I remember about that flight was, “Man, it’s cold in here.” When we arrived at the children’s hospital I had several MRIs, another CT, and all sorts of blood work was done. Nothing was conclusive. Was it a tumor? Did I somehow bump my head hard enough to cause it to bleed? They decided to do an exploratory artiogram to find out.An artiogram, for those of you who don’t know, is when they insert a large catheter up through the vessles in your groin area. They thread it all the way up from your leg to your brain. I’ve had 3 of them done since this.Once they got to my brain they discovered what is called an arteriovenous malformation, or AVM for short, in my cerebellum. An AVM is an abnormal connection between arteries and veins. In my case, it was something that I just happened to be born with, and had caused the blood from my veins to leak into my brain. Nestled inside of the AVM was an unruptured aneurysm. They shot glue into it to fix stop it from bleeding and to make sure the aneurysm would never burst!It has been almost six years since then, and I have very little side effects. I spent almost 2 weeks in the hospital, a majority of that time in the pediatric ICU. I can still walk and talk and do almost everything normally, although I do have some left sided weakness, I still get debilitating migraines, and I have some issues with memory sometimes. I was so lucky! Brain AVMs occur in less than 1% of the population, and I only had a 41% chance of surviving its rupture. And yet here I am, relatively healthy, and capable of living a normal life!

That would depend on their personal situation, but should they actually have a full financial life in another country including investments, pensions, mortgages, insurance policies, a small business, multiple bank accounts…The reporting alone can be bankrupting, and that is before you get on to actual taxes that are punitive toward foreign finances owned by a US citizen and god help you if you make mistake because penalties appear designed to bankrupt you.US citizens globally are renouncing citizenship for good reason.This is extracted from a letter sent by the James Bopp law firm to Chairman Mark Meadows of the subcommittee of government operations regarding the difficulty faced by US citizens who try to live else where.“ FATCA is forcing Americans abroad into a set of circumstances where they must renounce their U.S. citizenship to survive.For example, suppose you have a married couple living in Washington DC. One works as a lobbyist for an NGO and has a defined benefits pensions. The other is self employed in a lobby firm, working under an LLC. According to the IRS filing requirements, it would take about 15 hours and $280 to complete their yearly filings. Should they under report income, any penalties would be a percentage of their unreported tax burden. The worst case is a 20% civil fraud penalty.Compare the same couple with one different fact. They moved to Australia because the NGO reassigned the wife to Sydney. The husband, likewise, moves his business overseas. They open a bank account, contribute to the mandatory Australian retirement fund, purchase a house with a mortgage and get a life insurance policy on both of them.These are now their new filing requirements:• Form 8938• Form 3520-A• Form 3520• Form 5471 (to be filed by the husbands new Australian corporation where he is self employed)• Form 720 Excise Tax.• FinCEN Form 114The burden that was 15 hours now goes up to• 57.2 hours for Form 720,• 54.20 hours for Form 3520,• 61.22 Hours for Form 3520-A.• 50 hours estimate for Form 5471For a total of 226.99 hours (according to the IRS’s own time estimates) not including time to file the FBAR.The penalties for innocent misfiling or non filings for the above foreign reporting forms for the couple are up to $50,000, per year. It is likely that the foreign income exclusion and foreign tax credit will negate any actual tax due to the IRS. So each year, there is a lurking $50,000 penalty for getting something technically wrong on a form, yet there would be no additional tax due to the US treasury.”

NOOOOOOO. You are talking to a military romance scammer. I received an email from the US Army that directly answers your question that is pasted below please keep reading.I believe you are the victim of a military Romance Scam whereas the person you are talking to is a foreign national posing as an American Soldier claiming to be stationed overseas on a peacekeeping mission. That's the key to the scam they always claim to be on a peacekeeping mission.Part of their scam is saying that they have no access to their money that their mission is highly dangerous.If your boyfriend girlfriend/future husband/wife is asking you to do the following or has exhibited this behavior, it is a most likely a scam:Moves to private messaging site immediately after meeting you on Facebook or SnapChat or Instagram or some dating or social media site. Often times they delete the site you met them on right after they asked you to move to a more private messaging siteProfesses love to you very quickly & seems to quote poems and song lyrics along with using their own sort of broken language, as they profess their love and devotion quickly. They also showed concern for your health and love for your family.Promises marriage as soon as he/she gets to state for leave that they asked you to pay for.They Requests money (wire transfers) and Amazon, iTune ,Verizon, etc gift cards, for medicine, religious practices, and leaves to come home, internet access, complete job assignments, help sick friend, get him out of trouble, or anything that sounds fishy.The military does provide all the soldier needs including food medical Care and transportation for leave. Trust me, I lived it, you are probably being scammed. I am just trying to show you examples that you are most likely being connned.Below is an email response I received after I sent an inquiry to the US government when I discovered I was scammed. I received this wonderful response back with lots of useful links on how to find and report your scammer. And how to learn more about Romance Scams.Right now you can also copy the picture he gave you and do a google image search and you will hopefully see the pictures of the real person he is impersonating. this doesn't always work and take some digging. if you find the real person you can direct message them and alert them that their image is being used for scamming.Good Luck to you and I'm sorry this may be happening to you. please continue reading the government response I received below it's very informative.   You have contacted an email that is monitored by the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command.

Since I have asked this question, I believe that I should share the knowledge I have managed to collect in its regard.So, it appears that you should file a SS-4 form to apply for the Employer Identification Number (EIN). To this successfully you will need to have a contract signed with customer in the USA. You will have to show given contract to the US IRA.The downside of this method is that:It requires for you to sign contract with US party prior to the acquiring the EINYou will have to mail originals of your Passport/Natinal ID and contract to the IRA.Instead of going that way, I have decided to register my own "Disregarded entity"-type LLC.If you are also considering going that way, please note that the most popular state for registering such companies (namely, Delaware) is not necessary best for your particular case.AFAICK, tax-wise, there are two top states:Delaware (DE): Sales Tax = 0%, Income Tax = 6.95%Nevada (NV): Sales tax = 7.93%, Income Tax = 0%You will need to find registered agent to register your LLC properly.

Departments of education and school districts always have to make decisions about what to include in their curriculum.  There are a lot of life skills that people need that aren't taught in school.  The question is should those skills be taught in schools?I teach high school, so I'll talk about that.  The typical high school curriculum is supposed to give students a broad-based education that prepares them to be citizens in a democracy and to be able to think critically.  For a democracy to work, we need educated, discerning citizens with the ability to make good decisions based on evidence and objective thought.  In theory, people who are well informed about history, culture, science, mathematics, etc., and are capable of critical, unbiased thinking, will have the tools to participate in a democracy and make good decisions for themselves and for society at large.  In addition to that, they should be learning how to be learners, how to do effective, basic research, and collaborate with other people.  If that happens, figuring out how to do procedural tasks in real life should not provide much of a challenge.  We can't possibly teach every necessary life skill people need, but we can help students become better at knowing how to acquire the skills they need.  Should we teach them how to change a tire when they can easily consult a book or search the internet to find step by step instructions for that?  Should we teach them how to balance a check book or teach them how to think mathematically and make sense of problems so that the simple task of balancing a check book (which requires simple arithmetic and the ability to enter numbers and words in columns and rows in obvious ways) is easy for them to figure out.  If we teach them to be good at critical thinking and have some problem solving skills they will be able to apply those overarching skills to all sorts of every day tasks that shouldn't be difficult for someone with decent cognitive ability  to figure out.  It's analogous to asking why a culinary school didn't teach its students the steps and ingredients to a specific recipe.  The school taught them about more general food preparation and food science skills so that they can figure out how to make a lot of specific recipes without much trouble.  They're also able to create their own recipes.So, do we want citizens with very specific skill sets that they need to get through day to day life or do we want citizens with critical thinking, problem solving, and other overarching cognitive skills that will allow them to easily acquire ANY simple, procedural skill they may come to need at any point in their lives?
