The letters to school served their purpose I got a call from the guidance counselor. All I know is that mac was not the instigator and did nothing wrong and that the other child "is being dealt with" and that for "confidentiality reasons" I cannot be given names or specifics.
Natter 55: It's the 55th Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Confidentiality my ass.
That's "We're not telling you in case you decide you sue us for not handling a bully".
In my Very Humble Opinion.
The one time Annabel got shoved hard by another kid, they wouldn't tell us who either because of confidentiality.
Of course, if it happened now, she'd tell us.
Parsnip the Westie - isn't that an excellent name for a small white dog?
Anyone have a sonicare? like it?
So I got up, got dressed, read the paper. And I just didn't wanna. My sinuses are protesting the cold and dry, but nothing that couldn't be managed and muscled through. But I didn't wanna.
So I didn't.
And I went back to bed.
It was a good idea.
I got to work on time today. I've been productive so far.
WTF?
Wow, Suzi. I have been tremendously unproductive. You are lucky.
I am helping a co-workers daughter with a paper. She is a senior in college and an English Major. It is the least coherent paper I have ever read. There is no thesis, no conclusion, about 45 unrelated ideas sprinkled about the paper. None of the paragraphs has a topic sentence, and the paragraphs seem to be randomly formed every three sentences or so. She made factual errors that are ridiculous (she says that Viola in Twelfth Night is a MAN disguised as a woman, she uses all sorts of weird phrases that are nonsensical, and has a lot of grammatical and spelling errors. I am not even sure what I should help her with because I told her I could only help for an hour and she also needs 3 more pages. Apparently her mom has been writing her papers all along, but now that they are about Shakespeare and such, she can't do it any more!
I just have to give an example paragraph:
Young boys’ taking female roles was accepted as “verisimilitude” something that only appears to be true by the audience.In the article, Boy Actors, Female Roles, and Elizabethan Eroticism, Lisa Jardine states that “the taking of the female parts by boy players actually occasioned a good deal of contemporary comment, and created considerable moral uneasiness, even amongst those who patronized and supported the theaters” (57). Just because males perform on stage leaving females with no role on stage, does not diminish the role they play throughout life.
