Coolness! I'm so using that.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Can you really say "she's the root of all evil" in Spanish?

I have my first teacher conferences in three weeks! 75% of my students are Spanish speakers at home.
Seriously, do you have a cheat sheet? I mean, I'm all flip here, but I do want to be able to help my students out.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Kat doesn't actually know any Spanish, she flies in kat perez for the parent-teacher conferences. No one is able to tell the difference between the döppelkats.

Hey, I have a Peruvian lawyer as backup; I figure I'll be ok.
Except she works too much for me to see her much; in Peru she's a lawyer -- in the U.S., a shopgirl and waitress.
Land of opps? NSM, sometimes.

YAY! I also have a form letter I send for when kids have detention. But it's not on my computer.
Kat doesn't actually know any Spanish,
how true and how sad this is. In fact, I'm going to my spanish class right now.

I WISH! I feel dread in the pit of my stomach at parent conferences in the BEST of circumstances, but when there is a language barrier and I need someone to help translate or I need to bumble along, it's even worse.
As terrible as it is, my spanish teacher gave me advice that made me feel better. I was stressing about how to talk to parents last semester and she said, "THEY should know English. Do not kill yourself over not knowing their language." I don't necessarily agree, but it makes me feel better about being a dolt in spanish when I'm trying to work with them to remember that I'm trying, that the institutional onus is not only on me.
