I know it is tough for them and frustrating for the adult to have to give constant reminders. IMO it's not cruel because it is for their own and their families' and teachers' safety.

I agree with everyone. The neighbor is greedy and just awful. Don't communicate with the neighbor at all. Make it all go through your lawyer. I honestly don't think this case will get far. You...

We are in person and lunch gets delivered to our rooms. They drop off all of the food and the...

I just want to add, it's not just that you don't want to make another student start late. It's also that she's paying for you to be available at 4:00. Even if she's late, those 10 minutes are...
