Are you in England or the USA? It alters your question signifcantly. If you are in the USA a public school is state run, what the British call state schools. In the UK, an example of a public school is Eton. Also, your rights as a parent depend on whether or not you have parental responsibility. In the UK you will have this if you were married to the mother at the time of the birth (presumably if your child is already at school he/she was born too long ago to be covered by the new legislation re this). Your financial contribution does not affect your parental rights, whether or not you have parental responsibility does. However if you have been accepted to be responsible for this child (ie you are paying maintenance) then you do have a right to have your opinion heard. Ultimately any dispute would be settled in favour of the best interests of the child.\nWith regard to fees, if you cannot afford to contribute to them and the childs mother can, you will have no liability for them. It is however my understanding that if you can afford to contribute you may become liable to do so if your maintenance is reassessed (on request). As above, your ability to contribute financially will not affect any parental rights (positively or negatively).

It depends on how your family is structured. If your mom and dad ask you if you've paid him, then that shows that your parents feel that it is right for him to ask you to pay. Are there alternative methods for you to get to school that cost less? \nYour parents should really be paying the 60 cents or subsidizing him for taking you in some way. I never charged my parents or sister and she went to a different school.

Absolutely not especially since a child cannot enter into a legal and binding contract. Unfortunately you as the parents may be liable for this debt. Tread these waters very carefully and see a lawyer. Most will give you a free consultation. And to help yourselves do the leg work first and have everything with you when you go such as reasons for the detention, any financial statements from that time, and be sure to have your son with you or a letter of release for you to discuss this with the attorney.

First, they are in Aruba, US law doesn't apply there.  Nor does Aruban law apply here.  If you want to fight her over these issues, then you need to either bring her and the child to the US, or go to Aruba and hire a lawyer and fight her under Aruban law.  It is admirable that you want to pay for the child's education, and I think sending the money for that to the school is more than adequate, of course, she must allow the child to attend, which she may not out of sheer spite.  I would not send another penny to her, not one.  IF she claims medical costs, ask her where, and contact them yourself as you did the school and make arrangements for the child's treatment cost.  DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE SEND HER ANY MORE MONEY.  Unfortunately, the money you have already sent her is a total loss, you cannot recover a penny, but learn from the past and don't repeat it.

File for the FAFSA.  One of the questions asks if you are a ward of the court or an orphan.  This gives you the same status as a single parent which (at least in my experience working with students) gives you an EFC- expected family contribution- of 0.  While this doesn't guarantee you a full ride, it does put you in line for all the school scholarships, grants, and great loans (as opposed to crappy bank loans.)  Visit fafsa.ed.gov to apply.  Also, I recommend fastweb.com for scholarship searches.  Hope this helps.

actually, I believe as long as he is a full time student he would still have to continue Child Support payments until he Commissions, drops out of full time school or wwhatever the state's laws are..in our case, it's 23(NY)\n\nIf he were to enlist, or join the Reserves/Guard, I think it stops.

Please do talk to the teacher first, so you will have gone through steps.  Principals may ignore you if you haven't at least spoken with the teacher.  Please be as diplomatic as possible so you don't get labeled as a problem parent and then ignored.  Then, very soon, take your concern to the principal.  He/she will probably want a meeting with you and the teacher.  Come with documentation, but be sure to continue to be diplomatic.  Make appointments to observe your daughter (not the teacher) in class.  Be sure to keep every piece of paper you have that might show incompetance.  For all you know, the principal and school board are already working on getting rid of her.  It takes about three years to get rid of a poor teacher if people are trying.  Unfortunately, good teachers can also be hounded out of jobs by incompetant administrators, so do make sure that this wasn't a fluke, or a case where she was overwhelmed with grading and just took it as a completion grade (not checked for accuracy).  If you are in an elementary school, you can lobby to have your child transfered to another class, but you will never be able to do that again, and will be labeled as a problem parent.  If you are in a middle or high school, make friends with the counselor so that your child is not placed in that teacher's class again.\nThe class average of 38%--do you know what this means?  38% passed a national standardized test?  38% of them have a C average or better in class?  The class has a 38% on all their work?  \nGood luck

If its the best option go for it, your parents will take care of them well so you wont have any trust issues, the only problem would be that you will not see your children.

Not really for pain and suffering. Schools are required to have liability insurance, which would pay for any costs incured due to this injury.  The child was probably kept there because they didn't know it was fractured.  My daughter was sent home by a hospital with a fracture that they missed.  Look at all the consent forms that you signed at the begining of the school year.  The school is protected against frivalous law suits for pain and suffering.  Also....why would you want to milk the school systems out of more money.  Medical bills can be paid by the school, yes.  Maybe even time off work any parents needed to take off to take care of the child/drive to from MD visits (although....you said you are at home mom).

Without specific details of your situation, this question is unanswerable.  I've included links to the State of Virginia's official Department of Social Services, as well as a child support calculator that will help approximate the amount due.

Whatever you did - your parents are going to find out eventually. Best advice, tell them BEFORE they get the call/letter/email/visit from your teacher.\n\nIf you are up front, you will likely face far less-severe consequences. This is true throughout life.\n\nBeen there.

you can register your child for any school as long as you are willing to drive them there. this applies mostly to private schools. please understand, funds for public schools are determined by districts and how many children are in that district, so you may be encouraged to keep them in your particular district.

That's not a trick. It is saying, in plain English, that by signing that paper you agree that what they've paid you for the accident is all you and your child are going to get, and neither you nor she can go back and sue later for more money or to cover any more medical expenses or anything else.\n\nFYI - she will be able to sue for herself later after she's 18 - this quit-claim will probably not stand up if the reasons are good enough.

I would also submit any legal documents such a court orders involving custody matters and legal separation forms if you have any. This way there won't be any problems involving receiving information from the school regarding your child's progress. Take care. I wish you well as you are going through this.

No, I don't agree that you should have to pay for your child to ride the school bus to public school. First of all, our taxes go to help pay for that, the schools also receive federal/state funding. Seems like they keep taking more out of our paychecks, what are they doing with it?  Not everyone could afford or even squeeze bus fare into their budget. It is every child's right to have a free public education, and the transportation dept is supposed to be sure every child has a way to school. I can see charging a little for field trips or maybe the extracurricular activity buses, but to a from school absolutely not.
