t3@(h3r t3@(h3r

Uh Oh. I feel like a kiss-ass. I don't think the kiss-ass persona fits me.

Big B came home today w/ his progress report. As he is handing it to me he begins explaining that there is a bad grade on it.

Now, I've had a few bad grades "back in the day" ((and yes, it hurts a little to say that..... no it hurts that it is true)) and braced myself for the worst.

Math 98, Reading 94, Science 95..... Social Studies 75. I guess for a straight A student a C might be a bad grade, but I was like "is that it?"

He was very distraught. I signed the progress report and then wrote a short email to his teacher. In said note, I found myself carefully choosing my words.

Ending the note w/ a mention of how much Big B has enjoyed her as his teacher this year.

((psst, that's where the kiss-ass came in))

I know, it's O.K.> Playing a "Kiss-Ass" to your kid's teacher, is a lesson in Social Studies; So, pucker up!

I did pretty good in school until highschool. Then I got a few F's (mainly English classes).

Teri Rees Wang- LMAO pucker up indeed.

Hey, he got a chance to do some extra work to bring the grade up.

Marf- I was a straight A student until junior high and puberty.

Pretty much once I got boobs and became a cheerleader, I was an academic goner.

Which is why you for one know I repeatedly say that I wish I was more of a geek in school.

They are far more interesting. I wasted waaaay too much time w/ people who couldn't think their way out of a dark room.
