Apparently We Need to Talk

Got another email today from the Foods Teacher:

Your student was involved in multiple distrubances during the Rice demonstration I tried to give today.  Because of this they are not going to cook tomorrow along with the rest of the class.  This is not fair to the other students but I cannot teach in this kind of atmosphere.  Would you please talk to them about respectful behavior and the importance of taking turns in group work.

Also someone combined two of my examples of rice typ es that I passe around.  This has not happened in my 11 years in Davis school district.  If your student know who did this I would be happy to know.  Would you talk to them about good citizenship does not let other people destroy property.

So yes, we need to have a talk.  The kid is apparently Trouble with a Capital T...1950's style.

But can I just say, "Hello? Teacher for 11 years? Spelling? Punctuation? Grammar? Proofread your dang emails!!!"  How many errors can YOU find?  I found 11, not even counting that whopper of a last sentence.

I have to say these stories are pretty funny. That was definitely a typo-ridden email.

A rice conflict? I'd like to hear the other side to that story. Maybe it's better if your child does not cook tomorrow: I got Mono from Foods class because no one really cleaned anything and some guy I never met in period 1 happened to use my same kitchen.

I was counting the errors before I even read your comment! I am curious to know what a "rice conflict" is as well. Sounds messy?? Good luck with this one.

Oh, no. The basmati got mixed with the arborio! What a hellion you've raised.

Too, too, funny!!! That Foods teacher needs to return to the classroom for basic English skills. I can't believe she didn't proof that email before she sent it out!
