Last night I emailed the mom back to tell her that while I received her email, I could not legally talk to her until I had the appropriate release forms in hand.

Tonight I got the email that I’ve been dreading ever since I started teaching at the college level:
“I have a child in your class. They tell me they are not going to pass your class and I was hoping you could give me some information.”

My boy and I hit the golf course this afternoon for the first time this season.

I should be writing a 1-2 page response paper on articles I covered and discussed in class last week. I’m staring at the notes and the articles, and I’m just totally not interested in writing this, mostly because I’m very frustrated with the teacher and the lack of explanation that is given toward assignments.
