Our school is accredited by NAAS, and our credits are accepted at every school and college in the country. Don't believe me. Look into NAAS and consider calling them for more information.

Yeah I don't believe you because I had to retake several classes in California to be entered into Community College! You are a shill and a liar for your employer, you couldn't be anymore obvious!

Your school might be accredited by NAAS-- but it is also accredited by your regional accreditation board, which is the only accreditation that counts. WWASPS "schools" have no regional accreditation-- just NAAS. So, no, they're not accredited.

This is a huge and provable lie. NAAS is a JOKE and any WWASPS diploma is garbage on its face. Ask any kid who was barred from college entry. There are many of them.

I had to take several courses in college to catch me up because my Browning Academy education paled in comparison to the other freshman, who'd attended schools where the teachers taught. I was unprepared for the content of college courses and to be able to pass mandatory entrance exams to begin at 101 level courses. So, I paid for beginner courses to basically redo what WWASP claimed they'd taught me and that I received As in.

What else is on his rap sheet?
Sounds to me like you ought to spend your money on a better lawyer.

I would strongly suggest going to the judge and finding out exactly where your boy is going to be doing time, or if there is some alternative that can be found.

The only other thing on his rap sheet is truancy citations. The DA is basing their decision on his school record mainly. They have some theory that if kids aren't doing good in school, that they'll be future criminals. The theory is to keep it from happening while they're young. Plus my lawyer said there were other tip jars taken in town so they want to make an example out of my kid for it. Like I said though they let a caucasian kid that was with him off with a lesser charge even though he's clearly doing poorly in school.
The judge may give him a lesser sentence yes, but he might not either. I'm fully expecting my kid to get at least a year. He'll have a felony conviction on his record too. Hopefully that can be removed when he's older.
I suppose I can ask the judge about alternatives. I'm not going to hold my breath though. "

Dad, unless your kid threatened someone with a weapon to get that tip jar, there is no way they can convict him of a felony. $37 is petty theft.
Get a better lawyer.
They let a white kid off for the same thing? It's called selective enforcement and it's a no-no. Call the NAACP or the SPLC and get a referral to a *much* better lawyer.
Do Not Take This Crap.
Also, juvenile records get sealed. Your kid can not have an adult felony record for a $37 juvenile petty theft.
You need a better lawyer, because the DA is figuratively doing the Abner Louima dance on your butt.
Get a lawyer who (if all else fails) will not balk at calling the press and raising holy hell that a non-white kid is getting a year or more and a felony over $37 and a white kid is getting nada.
We had a mother on here who was suffering the same kind of crap you are where the law had stuck her daughter in a boot camp over something trivial and they were going to keep her for a long time, wouldn't say when she was coming home, the girl was sick and injured and they were taking her medicine away and ignoring doctors' orders.
We kept telling her to get a lawyer, get a lawyer.
She finally got a good lawyer and *BAM!* that garbage miraculously stopped.
Sometimes people who like to have control and power over other people get in positions of authority and abuse that power.
Your kid shouldn't have done what he did, but his wrong doesn't make it right for the DA to railroad your child into the system over petty theft as if he'd stolen a car or broken into someone's house and burgled a lot of expensive stuff.
You don't punish jaywalking with the penalties on the books for murder, and you don't punish petty theft with the penalties on the books for grand theft auto.
Get a lawyer. Get a damned good lawyer.
