Nice to meet you Drac! I noticed your location. I didn't think there was anything between Cleveland and Akron, OH?
There is..We keep it a secret...

Wow - I never knew five horses and a goat were valuable enough to go to the trouble. :wink1:
Don't forget the chickens and ducks...
Evening, all... it's parent/teacher conferences tonight, and I'm the teacher. I've been at work since 7:15 am, it's 5:15 pm, and I am required to stay until 8:00 pm. Conferences started at 4:30... and the one and only parent I've seen so far showed up at 4:20, while I was still eating pizza (since school gets out at 3:32, there's no way to get dinner before conferences at 4:30, so the school buys a lot of cheap, greasy pizza)... on the other hand, my desk is cleaner than it's been since fall conferences! Even so... I wanna go home! :tantrum: :wah:
Evening Kacey....Hey at least they feed you...

Oh, see now, you didn't mention them. As the emergency food supply for the majority of the population, I'm sure they must be protected at all costs.
You damn skippy..LOL

Yeah... but it was "bring your own beverage", and being in a school, it coudn't be any truly interesting beverages that go better with greasy pizza than soda...
I've still only had 1 parent show up, and it's after 5:30 (over an hour)... but I did find the top of my desk!
But seriously Kacey...even if they did show up...would they about what you had to say?
I don't know... but at least I'd know someone, somewhere in this child's life, was making an effort. I have one student whose mother didn't how up until the manifestion hearing... that's a pre-expulsion meeting, and the only reason she came then was because she was told by an administrator that if she didn't show up, he'd be expelled - and she told the administrator she didn't want him sitting around the house all day; he gets free lunch, and if he was expelled, she have to pay to feed him. That was her only concern. Scary, isn't it?
Damn. That's VERY scary. Words are escaping me at this point.
Yeah... welcome to my world. I send home progress reports with grades and missing assignments; she signs them, and never indicates that she's noticed he's missing 30-50 assignments and his grade is a 44% (<60% = F)... and he missed school Monday, with the excuse that "my mom worked the night shift and no one woke me up, and I don't wake up to alarm clocks, so instead of coming late I stayed home". This boy is 13 years old, and he didn't understand why this was not a valid excuse.
