Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

One was responding to an e-mail regarding a test CJ missed when he was sick last week. It is the class he had gotten a bad behavior report in for the 1st quarter, so I added a question about his behavior this quarter.

well, that doesn't count as helicoptering if you're responding to an email that they sent you.

I was asking how he can dig himself out of that hole and end up with the B+ he needs to stay in that class.

Hmm, I'd say borderline. As a teacher, I'd want the student to be asking that question. OTOH, I work with/teach college students, so I have a different level of expectation with students.

Of course, if you were just making an idle comment, and didn't really want me in your business, feel free to ignore :)

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

No, I am curious Vortex. When K-Bug was going through school, teachers didn't have school e-mail and there wasn't a bunch of contact.

With CJ, every teacher has made a point of providing their school e-mail address. Both these teachers have initiated contact in the past regarding school issues. I just don't want to be come "one of those" parents.

I would never ask those kind of questions to K-Bug's teachers. She is a junior in college and gets to fight her own battles. But I'm just not sure where that line is for CJ as yet. 7th grade? 8th grade? High school?

yeah, that's why I added the caveat about college students. I really don't know. Maybe ask the teacher?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just bought health insurance -- now I feel like a real grownup. Although it doesn't kick in until 1/1, so I hope I don't get fined! I mean, or sick.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

My afternoon snack is totally not up to par.

Defeats the purpose to leave work early only to have to wait around until swim lessons are done to go to the pool...

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Do you have to stay long, Connie? Does your DH get much chance to go out and be social?

I am going to DH's . He has to go because he is management. I 'm going because it will make it easier for him.

Does your DH get much chance to go out and be social?

No, he doesn't. I'll have to doublecheck the dates and see if I can find something sort of festive to wear that I don't wear every day to work. I hate having to dress up for events. I think I'm missing vital girl genes.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Bleah, Monday. It's cold and rainy, and I have a bit of congestion. (Not enough to be Con Crud, but enough to be annoying)
