Well you/your parents-guardians are the ones responsible for applying for a work permit, it's issued by the school district. And your employer is responsible for telling the school district you've been hired.

Could also be feasible that they properly sent the notification to the school district and you didn't do your part and the school district didn't do theirs as well, although that's a question for a lawyer if it went there.

No, it's not illegal to *hire* a minor without working papers.

"...a minor can apply for and accept a job offer prior to obtaining a work permit. Once the work permit is issued, the minor may begin work. In all cases, when a minor is hired by an employer, it is the employer's responsibility to notify the issuing officer within five (5) days of such employment."

When were we talking about any medical treatment whatsoever here? You're the one obsessed over medical treatments, it's not an issue on this story. Read the article before commenting next time. Maybe you and the teacher should both comprehend what other people - including children - want before shooting off your mouth saying something stupid.

I don't understand how someone willingly becomes a teacher if they don't do anything within their ability to encourage their students.. If they want to be called an avocado, call them an avocado. Picking the correct pronoun is such a low hurdle for making them feel accepted, and last I checked it's no longer 1951.

This teacher sounds more like he'd rather indoctrinate students than nurture them. If you're in the profession only for yourself, you picked the wrong career.

Not sure why me answering an incorrect statement shows I'm not completely in support of the kid doing his hustle. I think it's a great idea, but you be you and complain after reading what you want into my comment.

Thanks. You're allowed to even wear campaign clothing in Pennsylvania. This isn't specific to any campaign and doesn't *ask* anyone to vote, so it's legal. Appreciate the concern for sure! (And I know the county Democratic Party lawyer on duty for Election Day problems, already let her know about my clothing option - she said she's probably going to get one too!)

Nah, the paperwork isn't that rough in PA. You can have a lawyer do it, and they'll scare the shit out of anyone saying you definitely need to hire them, but it's not all that difficult.

Just because you can make up scenarios in your mind doesn't mean it's reality.

What in the fucking world makes you think Harrisburg doesn't have access to your ID without you showing the physical card? They issued it, they have all the information on your application, they have your photo on file.

You're just making up bullshit to make a problem where there isn't one. All the information on the mail in ballot is simply to make things easier, Pennsylvania isn't a third world banana republic (although you may want to make it one) where any fake person can vote.

Get a grip on reality, you're not living in it.

>PA's mail ballot system is horrible broken. A piece of mail goes to an address, and you sign it and then send it back as your proof of identity.

This is incorrect. The voter's identity was already checked when they submitted their registration to vote. Pennsylvania does not require ID checks except the first time voting at a new location. The DoS and PennDOT and county boards of elections also have a system in place to check the ID already issued, as we aren't incompetent enough to suggest that only the physical card in your wallet is the only way the state can confirm your identity.

This argument is false and a red herring. There is nothing wrong with our mail ballot system except that it throws irrelevant barriers between people and their vote.

Here's the clause in the PA constitution covering this:

Article V, Section 13(b) A vacancy in the office of justice, judge or justice of the peace shall be filled by appointment by the Governor. The appointment shall be with the advice and consent of two-thirds of the members elected to the Senate, except in the case of justices of the peace which shall be by a majority. The person so appointed shall serve for a term ending on the first Monday of January following the next municipal election more than ten months after the vacancy occurs or for the remainder of the unexpired term whichever is less, except in the case of persons selected as additional judges to the Superior Court, where the General Assembly may stagger and fix the length of the initial terms of such additional judges by reference to any of the first, second and third municipal elections more than ten months after the additional judges are selected. The manner by which any additional judges are selected shall be provided by this section for the filling of vacancies in judicial offices.
