[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey. It's Christmas break. Your kids are incredible. This time of year is crazy because they are REALLY showing how much they've changed and progressed. I sometimes can't believe these are the same kids I had on the first day of school.

If you sent your child to school with a gift for me, I appreciate it. Even if it's a Dollar Store mug with candy in it. Even if it's just a card. Even if it's a gift card to a place I don't use, or a pack of my favorite drink with a ribbon lovingly attached to each bottle. The thing is, seeing your high school kid shyly walk up to give me this present was the best thing ever. I love their cards. I am so lucky to be cared for by so many.

Your kids make me laugh EVERY SINGLE DAY. How are they so funny? They are also rascals and I imagine they wear you out because they wear me out in the best way possible.

If your kid's grades are behind, don't get too down on them. They matter but only to the computer. I'm not disappointed in them if they have a D. I love them as a person, they are SO MUCH MORE than their stupid grade.

Please don't make them work too hard over break. Let them sleep, relax, hang out. Enjoy that time with them; I know there's so few holidays left that they're living at home. This is why I didn't assign work over break. Be with your wonderful kids. I will miss them and look forward to when they come back in January.

Love,

This is nice, but are you really a teacher?  I don't think any high school teacher should be referring to grades as "stupid".

Your reference to the gift cards to places you don't use is random, too.  Why even say that?  [/quote]
