I've called a gazillion parents this week to express my concern about missing work. I used to hate calling parents and I would do anything to avoid it. But I'm starting to rethink this whole enterprise. During each call, I maintain an upbeat tone of kindness as I outline all the missing work and expose an assortment of ridiculous lies that obviously have been told both at home and at school. The parents are so grateful that I called and they get pretty ticked off at their sixer. This is a win-win situation for me.

I wondered about the dog too. LOVE THAT DOG. Everyone needs one Lee. Soon your children will be gone and you will need someone to care for.
kc, i can't wait for this quarter to be over so we can start again. i love that first minute of that first day when NO ONE has late work.
(I don't like seeing crowds of dogs together, though. there's something really suspicious about them when they get into large groups, i think.)
