I cut my dinner short, ran back to the office to wait. She was over 30 minutes late, and I was already in class by the time she showed up. She dropped off some sandwiches and organic juices with a "peace offering" note attached. "Please be nice to my son."

Students like that, you can tell, are viewed with such blind perfections by their parents, likely because their the primary male children. That's scary to invest all your hopes, dream, and money into someone who trashes it all away. Oh well, I just had a spelling test yesterday where one of the words was "Wednesday." Since it was Wednesday, it was written on the board and thusly, the students had written it on the dateline of their tests. Nonetheless, two misspelled it on the test itself. That was a good indicator as to whether a student is honestly struggling, just not studying, or is plain lazy. Man, I hope that mother does come.
