A complex issue. If that person doesn't want to eat his or her own entrails, then it's clearly illegal. But even if that person does want to eat their own entrails, then you as the preparer of this meal may have to abide by the same rules as any restaurateur or food preparer. There could be restrictions against serving raw human entrails; even if it's to the owner of those same entrails. However, in a home setting where no exchange of funds has occurred, it may be perfectly legal to consentually feed someone his or her own entrails though in the United States, the USDA still reserves the right to inspect the product should they so choose. *nod*

Sounds all fun and dandy, but I must speak of the contrary. The laws for the preparation of food only apply to preparation in a professional way. Producers of foods need to supply their consumers with a reliable product. In a private sense, this law has no hold. It is perfectly legal for me to feed raw chicken to my brother, with his consent, so that law has no meaning in this sense.

No, what matters here is punitive law. Punitive laws safeguard inalienable rights, in the purest sense of the word inalienable. Even the holder of said rights cannot distance himself from these rights. They are his to keep. You will agree that eating someone's entrails is quite bad for the health of that person. So, when you are feeding someone his own entrails, you have to deal with mutilation (removing the organs), causing great bodily harm (both removing and feeding someone organs), murder (you are removing entrails) and eventually defacing a corpse, because someone is not going to live long while you are feeding someone his own organs. Human flesh is considered a public safety hazard, so it cannot be prepared in a restaurant or sold in a market or shop, but eating human parts on itself is not illegal. I can cut my own thumb off and eat it legally. Just feeding it to someone and hurting people for them is quite illegal.

The school psychiatrist came to see my, and she did little other than ask questions and tell me to go to the doctor. I told her about the homophobia I was receiving, and she told me to just look up ways to get rid of it. Real helpful. And my PE teacher made fun of me for sucking at dodgeball. Not fun, even without taking the persistent abuse I receive from all the other students.

You know, every time I go and have lunch with the hubby at the alternative school, when he's sub-teaching, I get more and more doubt about becoming a parent. Sure, we have been discussing the possibility, but those kids... *sigh* Maybe I just shouldn't go by that small group but damn...

So true. Shouting at you to put more effort into it in the freezing cold while they're just standing there in their think jerseys and jackets...

In fairness all of my PE teachers were fine, provided you at least put in some kind of effort. Even getting changed into the kit qualified, depending on who you were.

Same I suppose - the "I forgot my kit" excuse never went down well. I generally got on with mine but it was still annoying when they'd expect you to pull out all the stops while they did (frankly) jack shit.

I've had that before too. Seems fairly common - even other teachers made fun out of the PE teachers.

More frustrating when you merge the classes. Being pelted by the kids who are really good at PE whilst their normal teacher shouts at you for being unfit is further away from fun than having a cold.

It's frustrating though, when you have a sub teacher who doesn't know anything about the subject at the most important time of your school life.

Be glad that, at least, there's someone there giving you the material or that the school bothers enough to have someone around to still give you the material even when your teacher's absent.

Once your regular teacher comes back you can ask them questions.
