What Would You Do? How to Handle Kids Hating Their Teachers
What would you do? What would you do if your child gets a week or two into school and tells you that their teacher isn’t working out this year? They don’t like the kids in their class, they don’t like the teacher, and they aren’t going to like this new school year. It happens to every kid at least once in their school career, and we have all been there, when it happens, as a parent, there are a few options you can take, but which one is the right one to take for your child? Does it matter why they don’t like the teacher? Does it matter why they don’t want their classmates? If your child comes to you this week, next week, or in a few and says it isn’t working out, what would you do?
Kids Not Liking Their Classes in Idaho

With the rare exception of kids that love school, most of us at one time or another had a teacher or a certain class that we hated going to. It could have been that none of our friends were in the class, the subject, the teacher, or any other number of reasons, but most students have a class they dread at some time in their school career. What is the best way to handle it, especially as a parent? You can take the easy way out and ask them to be transferred to another class, with another teacher. This may help your child because perhaps the teacher’s methods aren’t helping them and they need something different. You could take the extreme case and pull them from school and homeschool them yourself, but that could hurt them in the long run, or be exactly what your child needs.
How to Handle Kids in School in Idaho

For many of us, we had to suffer through these classes, as our parents didn’t want to deal with the hassle of moving us from class to class, and they said how it would help us to stick with it. In many cases, it benefitted us to stay where we were and to make it through the semester or the school year. Kids today want the easy way out, and many parents grant that wish. Perhaps the best way to handle the situation is to have them wait it out and see if things get better. If your child is still unhappy or struggling after a month, then perhaps action needs to be taken to pull them from that class.
As a new school year begins, there will be parents in the Magic Valley and all across the Gem State that have to deal with their child not liking their teacher the first week, not having their favorite friend in their class, not liking a certain subject or for random reasons wanting to not be in a certain class. As parents, it is up to you to decide the best way to handle the situation, but if your child approaches you and hates their class, what would you do?

We’re lucky to live in a place as safe as the Treasure Valley. Despite our growth, one of the things that makes our area so special is the way that we look out for one another–for our neighbors! That’s a principle that seems to have held on as Boise has boomed.
Despite low crime rates, there seems to always be one incident or so that makes us scratch our heads.
A recent string of fraud incidents in the Treasure Valley area is one of those.
Nampa Police initially warned the public of this because cases of fraud began to ‘mushroom’. Then, it took an interesting turn–people that HAD their credit cards were being ‘taken to the bank’, so to speak.
In a statement originally released on April 30th by the Nampa Police Department, officials advised the following:
We are not sure how the suspects are gaining access to the victim’s credit cards. There is a growing fraud scheme, “ghost tapping”, that scammers are using to access victims’ credit cards. This is possibly occurring in these instances. “Ghost tapping” uses stolen credit card details in Apple Pay or Google Pay, then remotely relays the tap signal over the internet to a ‘mule’ at a store, allowing them to make high-value purchases that appear completely legitimate. (We’ll share more information on ghost tapping in a later public service announcement that will also suggest ways to protect yourself.) The app used by these criminals obscures the actual credit card number, making it harder for investigators to link a victim to a particular crime. Keep in mind that victims still have their physical credit cards while suspects use the stolen card information to make purchases, which also affects how victims are alerted. So far, local investigators have not been able to identify a common theme among the victims (e.g., a specific bank, a website they visited, a gas pump they used, etc.) in the fraud cases we are investigating.
The investigation spans far and wide.
Authorities say that some suspects are in custody, others are being contacted, and others are still at large.
Now, a week later, the police are back to reaching out to the public–this time, urging people to check their bank accounts.
Nampa Police say that they have caught onto a pattern– there are fraudulent charges at Albertson’s to purchase gift cards, at Costco to purchase Apple products, and at Best Buy, also for Apple products.
Check those bank statements!

A powerful search engine that organizes and provides access to vast information on the internet.
The USDA has issued a public health alert for various meat and poultry products containing FDA-regulated dairy that may have been contaminated with salmonella. The recall was originally issued on April 30th, but the contaminated product list could continue to grow as more products are identified.
The Food Safety and Inspection arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture issued the public health alert and there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of the products listed below, consumers are still advised to dispose of the items or return them to the place of purchase. Great Value and Pork King Good products sold at Idaho Walmart stores are included in the alert and recall.
Public Health Alert and Food Recall Issued For Pizza and Pork Rinds Sold in Idaho
As of right now, the food list includes pork rinds, breakfast pizzas, and chicken bacon ranch pizzas. The list could grow and the USDA advises consumers to check the list frequently. We will also update the list here when possible. The contaminated products carry a variety of ‘Best By’ and ‘Produced On’ dates, so check the lists carefully to make sure you don’t consume a contaminated product.
The nationwide brands to look for are Mama Cozzi’s from Aldi stores, Pork King Good, and Great Value at Walmart Stores.
