What I Want to Write In the “Comments to Parents” Section of This Kid’s Report Card

“Dad, keep being Jewish. Mom, keep being Asian. You have created the perfect hilarious, hard-working child.”

Today, while taking a math test, a kid (who is Japanese) leans in close to my co teacher and whispers…

Kid: “I’m not sure if I should tell you this.”

Co-teacher: “What?”
Kid: “I realized something.”

Co-teacher: “Ok…”

Kid: “Japanese people learn things better and faster than American people.”

Co-teacher: “Well, I don’t think that’s a very nice thing to say.”

Also, you are absolutely correct.

Then he aced his math test.
