Maxman has a great 2nd grade teacher.
He learns a lot and his writing has improved enormously.
She is a perfectionist and expects that of the kids as well.
Maxman has an agenda that comes home every day and if he makes mistakes in his writing (of the date for instance) he has to correct it at home.
His correction came back again the other day and she wants him to re-write his perfect capital "E" again. When I say he has to re-write one letter, I mean one, single letter.
"Why do you have to re-write this, it's fine?" I ask (even though I'm pretty sure I know why).
"Because I did it in pen," he says.
Just as I thought.
Yes, he isn't allowed to do his homework corrections in pen. A one-letter correction I might add. With the consent of his mother I might also add.
You see, we don't have a freaking pencil around right now. The little girls or Hops & Barley use them all the time and I can't find one bloody sharpened pencil right now.
So I had to write a note to the teacher saying that Max would be doing corrections in pen sometimes because his little sisters keep stealing the pencils in our house and we don't have one available.
I wonder if she'll accept that excuse?
