BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT
So you go and you meet the teachers, put a face to the name, which is nice. Never are they what I expect. Never.Then the teacher tells you a little bit about the class and you, as the parent, sit in your student's chair and nod at all the right moments. Or goof off because as soon as you walk into a classroom it is like back in the saddle again and all of your senses revert you back to whatever you were in fourth grade. Clown, quiet, nerd, athlete.
It is amazing what the environment can do for human beings. Absolutely unreal. Each year the student writes a letter to the parent and the parent writes back. I have been to a few of these Back to School Nights and I have two kiddos right now in the elementary school...so I have written my fair share of Back to School Night letters.

Dear Helen
Your teacher looks likes a truck and she seriously needs to reconsider her shade of blonde highlights. She seems nice though. Theses chairs are too small for my ass and I freaking hate Everyday Math. Hugs. Mama
