Are you one of the people who cannot understand that others do not
have the resources that upper-middle class families have, including
friends who can give rides? On one point, you want someone to ask for
help. On another, you want them to solve their own problems.

They should at least be able to attend a telephone conference.

Where did "telephone conference" enter the discussion?

I think the discussion had to do with a Texas law that posits a $500
fine, and doesn't mention telephone, at least not as presented
earlier.

The phone concept might or might not work: it is close to impossible
to identify a voice on the telephone, for one thing, without some
fairly sophisticated gear.

Uh, why would one need to "identify a voice on the telephone"? *This

It got crazy when someone decided a 500 buck fine was appropriate for
not making a meeting with a schoolteacher.
