You need to flip and roll the bag around then open the 'bottom' of the bag to eat them. I don't think it's a flavor quality issue, I think it's that they're making a lot more now so the flavor settles weird in the bag. It helps to try and redistribute the flavor. Hot shit those are good chips.

It isn’t a straightforward answer. The first thing to ask is how you are receiving payment. Business check? Personal check? Venmo? Cash?

If it’s a business check there will be a pay stub that has that information on it, you probably filled out a W9, and you will receive a W2 in time for tax purposes. However, since you’re not a citizen and don’t have a SSN I would doubt that’s your situation.

If it’s a personal check you’ll probably get a 1099, typically nothing has been taken out for taxes and you’ll have to pay.

Venmo and cash and any other form, you probably won’t get ANY tax form, but you still have to declare the income. I usually file this under “other income” (I freelance and typically have a mix of W2’s, 1099’s and venmo/cash/PayPal that I have to declare)

So … I would get in touch with a CPA. That’s a decent amount of money, and if no taxes have been taken out for you, you’ll be responsible for paying about 30% of it to federal. State taxes are separate, but much less. And I have no idea how it works with you not being a citizen!

I am no tax expert, so anyone with more knowledge than me feel free to correct me here

As you should, all kids deserve those same opportunities with as few barriers as possible.

Is the 1:1 chaperone a school policy or is it something that you agreed to during some type of meeting while discussing their disabilities?

Depending on your experience with the school so far, I would personally have a meeting to see if any accommodations or compromise could be made, if not I would seek advice from a lawyer that specialized in education or special education. This is largely based on growing up with a sibling with a disability and how my parents went about issues like this.

Unfortunately I don't know too much about private schools, but this would be open and shut at a public school.

Check out the Education Law Center and I’d probably call McAndrews Law. McAndrews is a firm in Villanova that does education law. I am a former special education attorney, but the firm that I worked for handled only public and charter school cases. Education Law Center is a non-profit in Philadelphia that does exactly what the name implies. They’d probably be a great resource and point you in the best direction. Best of luck!

You mentioned the bus in a couple comments - using the public school system’s buses doesn’t make them have to follow any particular laws that apply to public schools and not private schools. In PA, districts that provide their own students with transportation must also do so for students in charter and nonprofit non public schools in their area. Info on transportation specifically is here: https://www.education.pa.gov/Teachers%20-%20Administrators/Pupil%20Transportation/Pages/Pupil-Transportation-FAQs.aspx That doesn’t impact the classification of or requirements placed on the school being provided the transportation.
