No Secrets in THAT House
“Oh my god, have so much fun [at your bachelorette party] tonight! At my bachelorette party I got so drunk, there were MULTIPLE strippers, and there are just these ridiculous photos of me hanging off of stripper poles and, like, penises EVERYWHERE.”
— Parent of former student, just now on the street, while holding her 5-year-old daughter’s hand.

My favorite part of this is that she doesn’t know how to space the exclamation points because I’m pretty sure she’s never used one.

Glad someone’s keeping track of her kid’s progress. 
For reference, the state tests are scored on a 1-4 scale:
1= below grade level
2= approaching grade level
3= on grade level
4= above grade level

Six days after the original incident, 4 days after realizing I was offended, and 2 hours before I’ll be seeing her kid….an apology!!

Pretty sure she literally has us all programmed in her phone as “The Help.”

My Philosophy, Part 3
My Philosophy, Part 2
Quick update on this lady, who, as you will recall, inquired about a reading tutor for her 1-year-old…
We have a phone appointment this afternoon to discuss what it is, exactly, she means by “reading.” If it is a sane notion (aka “I’d like my baby to be read to, and perhaps exposed to the alphabet song”), then I might just consider taking the job. No one needs to tell her that these are tasks she– or an iPhone app– can handle for free.
She also mentioned in our email exchange that she is pregnant, so I expect to be asked about options for in-utero tutoring.
Stay tuned.
My Philosophy
Just received this email from a potential client:
Dear Potential Client,
Absolutely!
My philosophy is that any baby can learn to read, as long as he/she is a wizard or a genie.
Let me know if that is the case here, and we can discuss pricing.
