RE: I have a question
Remember last week, when I told you how strong your work was, and what a fine job I thought you had done this semester? And we both got tears in our eyes?
In light of this memory, I feel I must ask you: where is your final exam?

RE: I have a question
Remember how we met two times during the semester, the last time in late November? And how, at that time, I read a bunch of your work and gave you feedback, preparatory to you revising and submitting your final portfolio? And I praised that work?
In light of this memory, I feel I have to ask you: where is that portfolio?
Choose one or more:
ReplyDelete1. Laptop stolen
2. Violated parole
3. Deported
4. Shipped out to Kandahar
5. Wha?
6. You never said we had to
7. Just one more week, please?
I may be repeating myself, but why have I not had teachers like you? I mean, I'm always the teacher's pet after three classes together and all, but I didn't realize I could jeopardize that relationship by neglecting my studently duties. How cruel of those kids.
