  5. Am I missing something? SOS

    WyVy replied to WyVy's topic in School

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks teacher may be overreacting. I've done all I can do, but they're grasping straws. They also hunted me down five minutes after I left their room to demand I...

  11. I. CAN'T. DIAGNOSE.

    WyVy replied to WyVy's topic in School

    Glad I'm not the only one who's X-ray vision is out of order! I try to level with them by saying "if it was my son (I have a first grader) I'd have it looked at just to be on the safe side." I hate...
