Oregon first-grader humiliated by school’s punishment after being 1 minute late to class

[ND-Dem]

234. She claims her disability as osteoporosis, something I and many other women have. She's about 30.

I'm much older, have a 20 year old car, and am able to get places on time. When my car has problems I walk and take the bus. But I get where I need to, and on time.

My neighbor has Parkinsons and can hardly walk for shaking. She can no longer drive, but is regularly able to get to places on time, on the bus.

I know a couple, one of whom has MS; both are in their 80s. Somehow they make it to all their doctor's appointments on time, though it's difficult for them and takes them longer than it would younger, weller people.

If I were in charge of a child and lived less than a mile from the school, I would be able to get the child to school on time despite my osteoporosis and my old car.

My neighborhood, btw, is much, much poorer and likely more dangerous than this woman's neighborhood, which looks rather idyllic to me. And it has a lot of sidewalks, and not so much traffic, so despite what the husband said, walking the child to school is not out of the question.
