Corey's Apology

I just got a phone call from Corey's music teacher. Apparently one student raised her hand in class to ask if they were done because she was bored. The teacher then told her that if she was bored, she could just go sit in the hallway as punishment while everyone else enjoyed music class. The girl left, and the teacher turned back to the class and asked if anyone else thought they needed to go into the hall.

Corey, clueless to sarcasm, declared that he, too, would like to go sit in the hallway, and then quickly looked down from his teacher's gaze. Boom, kicked out of music class! (Two more students quickly followed suit for the exact same offense believe it or not; do they EVER learn?)

Needless to say, Corey lost the computer and the WII, and was promptly made to sit down and write this letter to his teacher through his tears:


It reads, "Dear Mr. Hoover, I am sorry for getting smart with you in music class. It won't happen again. - Love, Corey"

That teacher obviously does not know Corey, or kindergartners for that matter. They have a very short attention span and probably thought the hall had more to offer than he did.

Hmmm... the teacher will learn! He shouldn't have asked!

Yes Sister. It didn't cut and paste as a hot link. Anyway, the news story is about a kindergarter whose teacher sent home the childs "poo." Apparently, the special needs child pooed on the floor, so the teacher put it in a baggie, with a sticky note for the parents. Shocking!

I can't believe you made him write that letter and took away his Wii and computer...you meanie! Mr. Hoover should be writing Corey a note saying he is sorry for expecting Kindergartners to understand sarcasm. Someone needs a new profession...perferably away from children.
