Quick Blog

Ugh.

We had Parent Night at school last night. Ugh. Why is it that some parents have no concept that while they have one child to look after, we have SIXTY? "No, Mrs. X, I will not call you each time your child is missing an assignment." My favorite was this one: "Um, sometimes we have a lot going on in the evenings and we don't have time to help the kids with their homework, but I see that you take 10% off the final grade for each day a paper is late. I don't think that's fair. Will you accept late papers from my child with no penalty?

M.H. called for Soulmate's references. Apparently he really is that cool (are you sick of hearing that, yet?). In fact, she wouldn't tell me everything - she wanted to wait so she could tell me in person.

Will update you as soon as I find out what the scoop is.

Not only do they want you to teach, they also want you to be the teacher, you are supposed to be the parent as well ?! Good luck with the hunt

Parents - cant live with them, cant live without 'em!
The best ones are when they want you to call them every time their poor Channale /Mottele fall over and scrach their knee - "s/he is 15 already!"

Videoconferenceing can be done with MSN. If you have a blog, you must be able to sort that out. Good luck with it.

Roger that, Karl-ster. Video conferencing seems like such a business meeting thing to do, though!

Most people are in their own worlds. Once they have kids, the children become the center of that world, sometimes to the exclusion of all else, including sense.

woo-hoo/yay on the soulmate references!!
