Discussion forum overview
For some reason he wanted to put her in her place, so to speak...just wow.
Anyways, as this forum too has plenty of examples, there are real...uhm, meanies among teachers too. But it hurts more at that age.

God must be proud of US
As far as I understood the school had a clear policy and the coach overstepped some boundaries. I don't know many details of this case but I think he should have respected the school's code of conduct/recommendation or find a middle way.…

Thanks. I have chosen a doctor who is more pro-natural birth and was very happy with her last time.
Neither has NICU. Having Zollikerberg close to Hirslanden is a plus for Hirslanden but no guarantee you'd be transferred there. I…

I have been chairing an entrepreneurship discussion group for about 15 years every Tuesday morning at 8 am.
We discuss the trails and tribulations of entrepreneurship. We do not sell products or services to each other.

It really should not, if you have done some financial planning..
- First of all check the disability cover on your pension fund for yourself, kids etc. If it is not up to scratch, see if they offer any additional cover you can…
The only places that don't have front pictures are some mobile radars and maybe older cameras?
For everything else, there is no getting away. Friend got flashed years ago, tried to say it was his wife because he didn't want to lose his…
Not necessarily in charge of people (not formally at least) and I think it depends on the company. Mostly, it is related to years of relevant experience but not only. It is used rather loosely on some sites. I'd say it's between 5 and 10…
OK thanks. I will definitely get it cleaned and will check if there are any leaks etc. (but don't think so as the car is relatively young).
Let's see how it goes, I heard/read weird stuff about this inspection and apparently it's a…

Watch Valuation
Seconded.. I have inherited a gold pocket watch.. Took to a high end jewelers and they had zero interest .. told me to look on ebay ..
He said it isn’t practicle to insure as very old so almost impossible to replace so only the…
There are a lot of offshoots involving dogs and my wife is interested in grooming. The formation just looks very expensive but I guess it is an investment :)
Thanks for all the information above and all the posts have been very…
Nationality is not important. Driving license is only in so far important, that it must be valid and the driver should be at least 18 years old.
Important is the place of residence. This shouldn't be in the EU. Non EU citizenship and non…
Indigo gym in Geneva also closed permanently unfortunately - my husband loved it so was very happy to find that there is one in Zurich still. He went there a few times in May (they honored his voucher/pass he had remaining from…

SNB rises rates to -0.25%
In my country: I grew up in a 3.5 apartment (a family of 4) in a upper middle class family. Many my friends did so either in 3.5 or even 2.5 (rarely 4+) despite having both parents uni graduates from top tier faculties.
To my…
OK. So an update.
First of all thank you for everyone who helped. I was pretty upset when I wrote the original post.
This is what happened.
We spoke to the Gemeinde, who said that we must have misunderstood them. The Gemeinde have a…
In Ireland I'd say sort of... It really depends on where you live and what is on offer. The dept. of Ed will fund schools if you can show that you have the required number of pupils. For historical reasons protestant schools are…
I fully agree, they are lethal (especially the one from Cantieni, yikes), but luckily I am in good shape and exercise regularly and don't eat a ton of sweet stuff other than the occasional ice cream binge. :D

Location matters too. You mention German, so I presume Zurich and not some tiny town in the woods. If Zurich is anything like Geneva (and it should be also in this regard), 200k upwards for base salary, adjust based on how confident from…

Rental cars in Scotland
Car rentals have gone through the roof everywhere. And yes, if automatics are not the norm wherever you are going- they will be even more extortionately expensive.
Related to other thread re US citizen borrowing mother's car in France ...…
Longer commute might not mean a higher paying job. It may only mean very poor decision making when choosing a place to live. If money REALLY matters, an intelligent man does not commute longer, this man just moves closer to the job.…
Two issues I see: The car must be used privately, a car transfer over such a long distance might be seen as a commercial operation. Second, I do not know if you have to bring the car into the EU customs union or if they could do that.…
Actually she isn’t. All she asked was if inspections existed here like in the UK. Otherwise she is just asking a specific question related to Vaud.

Where to get good fruit?
Running a shop like Marinello was probably very time-consuming. Likely, the kids of the founder had no problem partying till 3am, but getting up at 3am was something else ;-)
Marinello is just one company that buys their produce…
As many as there are official reported. The gross sqm and number of rooms are a part of the official data. Advertising a different number of rooms that are official reported would be in quite a bad taste.
That's one of the tools where…
Maybe we should look at it this way:
If you have a few hours to burn, I think all the E lounges are worth paying for, but none of the A/D lounges are worth paying for.
I would rather hangout in one of the restaurants in the main…

Where to buy damaged cars?
Thanks a lot for thinking with me.
I know about Axa and I would be very interested to enter their online auction portal but as far as I know this is only for Swiss registered car companies. My company is unfortunately not based in Swiss.…

I have not had a good experience. For none of my 2 recent orders were they able to commit to their promise of "order today, receive tomorrow" and this was the reason I ordered from them.

One group who I know to have frequent bloodwork done without a doctors involvement are body builders taking illegal supplements.
I don't agree with the supplements, however with the number of people advocating frequent blood tests…
Guys, maybe this an instance to show kindness rather than mock?
Trpl: I hope you find the right person to talk to about the issues you're having. Perhaps a health professional could help where the police are unable to.
Switzerland's news in English
The Swiss school where students study Dante in Florence and Flamenco in Seville
When we send our children to school, we expect that they'll learn how to read and write, to understand how the natural world works and how to measure things. Here, The Local finds out about an international school, in a stunning setting above Lake Lugano, where the idea of ‘cultural capital’ is central to the ethos.

'I didn't expect such depth': the Swiss EMBA that boosts your personal life
When Tom Borec enrolled at the University of St Gallen, he didn't think that one day he'd be learning from hostage negotiators. Here, he tells The Local about an executive MBA with a difference, how it even improved his marriage, and why he now feels "the world is my oyster".
