My son had a school project to do - something about "The History of Me." He was to compile a bunch of pictures from each year of his life, and then write a sentence or two about them.
Parents had an assignment, too. They had to write a few special things that happened during each year. This had to be completed on a worksheet.
Okay, fine, so the teacher gave me homework. Not that I had time to do this, but I managed to squeeze it in. I turned in my homework and patted myself on the back.
Today, that paper came home in my son's homework folder.
"Bubba," I said. "Do you still need this?"
"Yeah, Mama," he said. "The teacher says you need to do it again."
"What?"
"She says it's sloppy, and I can't read it. Plus you need to use complete sentences."
Seriously?
So, ladies and gentleman, here I am, the writer who just failed second grade penmanship and English. Is that pathetic, or what?
We all fail with the teachers. I did loads of "homework" and it was never good enough.
ReplyDeleteLove,

Oh well. I guess you can't please everybody. LOL!
DeleteEek. This reminds me that I have something to give to my students tomorrow for their parents to fill out.
ReplyDeleteLOL! So glad I gave you the reminder!
DeleteSherry, I'm having a good laugh.
ReplyDeleteShe gave the parent of the student homework and then ask that the parent do it right.
That's a good teacher.
Is that not crazy? LOL!
Delete:)
ReplyDeleteExactly. Just you wait - this stuff is just around the corner for you!
DeleteFunny! This sounds like something that would happen to me (-:
ReplyDeleteHaha! I hope it doesn't. It wasn't fun redoing it!
Deletehahahahaha oh that shame, you will never live this down haha
ReplyDeleteI know. Totally unbelievable! How could this happen? LOL!
DeleteHow funny, Sherry! Maybe the teacher had higher expectations knowing that she would be collecting the assignment from a writer...anyway, this was really cute.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Little did she know I can't do anything right unless I'm attached to a computer!
DeleteLOL! I'm sorry I'm laughing, but that is too cute.
ReplyDeleteI always dreaded the first day of school homework the parents had to do. Filling out paperwork for each teacher. So many duplicate questions. I always thought I should just fill out one set of papers and then make copies for the other teachers. But then I'd have probably gotten notes sent back saying that I was "cheating."
I do remember my son having to do similar "The History of Me" projects (3 different times) throughout the school years.
Have a great day!
Go ahead - laugh at me. I don't care. LOL! I thought it was pretty funny, too!
DeleteI hope you have a great day as well!
Parents really shouldn't be given homework. That's just not right, but it is a really cute story. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha. Yeah, I agree. The projects are really cute, though. So, I guess if I have to do a little homework to have a nice momento of my child's life, I'll do it.
DeleteLOL ... I am sorry I couldn't help myself :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's okay. Everybody's laughing at me. LOL!
DeleteHehe, Oh no..must be annoying to do it all over again.
ReplyDeleteIt was. But I did my absolute best printing job, and I wrote in complete sentences. I expect to get an A+ for it! LOL!
DeleteHow awful - not your contribution but the fact it was a homework assignment from a teacher and her mean comments. Maybe she should get a lesson on the importance of sentence fragments. (I hated school, can you tell? lol Nat'l Merit Scholar and graduated suma, and I still hate school.)
ReplyDeleteYou're very patient to have done it again. I guess it's for your little boy, not the teacher. That's a good reason. :-)
Actually, the teacher is really nice! The comments were my son's interpretation of what she said. I'm sure I had to redo it, because me son couldn't think of how to formulate it into complete sentences. I'll have to work with him on that.
