I liked those a lot. At first I thought they may have been forged notes written by the kids themselves, no way parents could be that stupid. On second thoughts though I'm sure it's entirely possible. I loved no. 8,
Just came across this post. I have to write a note to the school. My daughter would kill me if I used any of these. :-? Should shouldn't mmmmmmmm :-?
I used to teach grad students. At our first meeting, I would ask them for 200 words on what kind of resource person I could be for them. Every time, every course, I ended up teaching Freshman English. Our schools no longer teach, our pupils no longer learn and our parents no longer care.
