I had a friend who worked in the Discipline office in high school, who used to forge excuse notes to get me out of 8th period, by saying I had to go to Guidance. My teacher must have thought I had major problems that year!IHeartQuiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17540520882006362062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211826055400328840.post-10037724462832350862007-10-12T19:14:00.000-04:002007-10-12T19:14:00.000-04:00I used to forge notes from my mom saying I had a d...I used to forge notes from my mom saying I had a dentist or doctor's appointment. Strange that I looked to be in such excellent health when I was, uh, 'sick' once or twice a week.... and must hae had at least 200 teeth - all with cavities...<BR/><BR/>Your son deserved to be busted... I'm surprised the other parents didn't call and say thank you as well...Constancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02702046097986873803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211826055400328840.post-46899601497952656052007-10-12T10:08:00.000-04:002007-10-12T10:08:00.000-04:00RT - It turned out that one of their friends from ...RT - It turned out that one of their friends from a private school had the week off last year for college visits, so they just decided to hang out and work on their movie for two days. They didn't get caught the first day, so I guess they figured why not make it two. Not very bright, which is funny because these are smart kids.<BR/><BR/>There was an argumentative parent in the last period last night, who was angry because she felt her daughter was being shortchanged because some of the kids in her classes were talkers and she didn't want her daughter penalized for it. The school does a Citizenship Grade in each class, and if the kid's behavior is below par for any reason, they lose citizenship points. The teacher finally said he would talk to her after the session if she wanted, because she wasn't allowing him to address the few parents that were there, in the short time he had. But she aggravated everyone that was there, and wasted our time.IHeartQuiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17540520882006362062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211826055400328840.post-84149663829872653812007-10-11T23:06:00.000-04:002007-10-11T23:06:00.000-04:00THANK YOU!

As a high school teacher, I run into very involved and helpful parents and parents who expect me to raise their children. <BR/><BR/>Funny thing is my first reaction was, "Geez, that's really early in the year to be cutting two days in a row." <BR/><BR/>I'm glad his teachers decided to ask how we was doing. I try to speak to parents at back-to-school night about good things and that must have been awkward for his teachers.<BR/><BR/>My b-s-n was last Thursday. We've had parents flat-out try to pick arguments with teachers and yell at teachers because they don't like something about the class. It can be a very stressful night.Sezmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06788407585696655259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211826055400328840.post-77973305573682934762007-10-11T22:13:00.000-04:002007-10-11T22:13:00.000-04:00Isn't it funny, when you have a baby no one ever t...Isn't it funny, when you have a baby no one ever tells you it is the hardest job you will ever have. There are so many times when I second-guessed my decisions when I was a single parent. You just have to hope that you are doing the right thing.IHeartQuiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17540520882006362062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211826055400328840.post-7895027293345502132007-10-11T17:17:00.000-04:002007-10-11T17:17:00.000-04:00I think it's fantastic that you took the hard line...I think it's fantastic that you took the hard line with your son. I've had to do the same thing with my daughters, and have no doubt the occassion will rise up and bite them in the ass again in the future.
