Man am I out of date. This is what I get for mentoring a private school for the last three years:

I guess this was set in 1984 but many California schools have been stretching the definitions of "asking" to pay a fee. For the record, I "had" to pay a fee or the sports team was gonna fold. So go figure. Considering I did not like the coaches, maybe I can get my 200 bucks back?
