Don’t let the “quick” response fill you. This request for all my information just got me put in ANOTHER person’s pile to have them review my file. Followed by a request for me to “give them time to review it”.

Hey @Marriott @MarriottBonvoy I have an customer case from over a month ago and cannot get anyone with authority to discuss it with me. In fact, someone closed it and I had to ask it to be reopened. Where’s basic customer service?

[Dr. Amy Garrett Dikkers @Konijn]

@MBonvoyAssist DM sent. I have also called multiple times and have emailed twice with no response.

@acquixsce_ My confirmation literally came 15 minutes ago (11 pm EST) after I had given up. Hang in there.

@k_zac @Ebonyteach @juliaerin80 Star switch … sorry. Missed that first part 😂

[Dr. Amy Garrett Dikkers @Konijn]

@k_zac @Ebonyteach @juliaerin80 Switch is a great one. I have a copy you can borrow. Freaky Friday set today —- everyday girl switches places with a young pop star. British.

@k_zac @Ebonyteach @juliaerin80 I’m also making a list of YALit with diverse backgrounds, protagonists, experiences, topics as part of a grant this semester. Happy to share!

My dissertation student is looking for military families with kids in 4th or 5th grade for an IRB-approved study. Snowball sampling is approved - please share widely!

@leannaarch Thank you. My kid has straight A’s, is taking honors and AP classes, and goes to school in pain because they don’t feel like they can miss any more school. It’s maddening what schools do to kids.

Now excuse me while I go fight our insurance who refuse to pay for migraine medicine in 2023 for this child even though they paid for it for the last 18 months. Without meds, my child will be out of school even more days.

[Dr. Amy Garrett Dikkers @Konijn]

Btw - child has a 504 plan that specifically states unlimited medical absences can be excused. Can you imagine if this child didn’t have a parent who could navigate the system? I can and I still have a wee bit of fear.

Re. Exhibit C: lest you think letter isn’t actually threatening, it throws in the Dept of Juvenile Justice and the Dept of Social Services as potential actions if I don’t have a conference with principal. I’m a professor of educational leadership and I feel threatened.

[Dr. Amy Garrett Dikkers @Konijn]

Exhibit C: child was out for major surgery. Missed three days = 12 absences. Parent submits excuse from the HOSPITAL on first day back. Gets threatening letter in mail one week after. Front office says it takes 2 weeks to update paperwork.
