So, my old boarding school is being sued in a class action suit for physical and mental abuse |

And for failing to have the best interests of the students in mind. My Dad says I have to opt out of the suit by Oct 5th if I am going to. I think I will, honestly, nothing ever happened to me. I never saw anything bad happen to others except for the teachers doing the usual asshole teacher things. Maybe a little MORE assholish, but nothing I couldn't handle. The "dorms" were unsafe shacks. In the guy's dorm the windows were bolted shut so you couldn't escape at night.
I will write a statement or even testify if need be, but I haven't much to say except that. Frankly, the best teacher I ever had was there. Mr. Campbell, great guy and a good teacher. I hope nothing has been pinned on him.

1. Go talk to the plaintiff's lawyer first. |
|
free advice. Or at least talk to him on the phone.
Don't make a decision based on what your dad says.

8. need to find a new career- bureaucratic crap is driving me crazy... |
|
hmm, don't know what, though. Would love to travel around the world doing something- checking out musicians or writing travel pieces or something, like they do on Globe Trekker.

7. Horrible abuse can take place right under a whole lotta people's noses. I know it happened to me. |
