I've had students do that will cell phones in my class. I tell them they have two choices, leave the class and don't come back today, or take the battery out of the cell phone. If they are waiting on a call for a gig or something else, they just have to tell me before the class begins and make sure their phone is on vibrate. I also have the luxury of classes that are usually only 10-12 students.
We're in love. We're ... lovers. We're lesbian, gay-type lovers.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Just got home from K-Bug's Back to School night. The first topic for each teacher was how parents can contact the teacher and how we can find out what the assignments are. Voice mail, e-mail, class web sites. We were encouraged to contact teachers with ANY questions.
This seems so counter to the discussions here earlier.

Well, high school is different than college. I expect much more communication between parents and teachers in high school.

I know. Most of her classes are full of just seniors, so it almost gets parents into bad habits.
K-Bug is engaged enough that I don't really plan on contacting any of them. We did stop in and talk to one of her old teachers. She has asked him to write a letter of recommendation for college and he wants her to give a resume and a copy of her transcript before he will do anything.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I adore your relationship with K-bug, and I don't ever see the two of you becoming one of the really overinvolved dyads that never go independent -- the ones I worry about are the ones where the parents are still writing the kid's resume when s/he's got a Master's degree.

Shoot, I won't write her resume NOW.
Though, maybe I should get her to write mine.

I like your thinking. Mmm, spicy brains!

Ah, the joy and excitement of sitting in a hotel room watching horror movies on a laptop. It's even for work.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm so numb to these things at this point I think if Jason or Freddy or Leatherface turned up in my room I'd just offer them a drink.
