Actual memo sent by my kids school.

Great meme, Kate_the_Grate! Geez, it is hard to be a mom these days! Back in the day, our son's fourth grade teacher wasn't using a red pen to correct errors (I wanted to see corrected papers as that is how kids learn) and she didn't want to interrupt or inhibit the story telling for mere mistakes. Wrong.

Now, you may be dealing with no grades at all, pass/fail, as they don't want anyone to feel bad about themselves so they will 'all pass'. SATs are also out of fashion along with excellence at the higher institutions of learning (what a joke)! You have your hands full today trying to navigate the low standards, Kate, but if anybody can do it, my bets are on you....

Upvote for you vBackman...you get it.

❤️ Thank you, Thparky. We are on the same page...

Funny story, I took the SAT twice. I wanted to score 1200, barely missed it the first go around. Tried to better my score the second go, and lo and behold I got the EXACT same score. I figured that was providence and went on with it, forging my way as i went. That mindset hasn't failed me yet, and i dont think it ever will. Book smarts are great if one has them, but common sense, free thinking, morals, and sheer determination/stubborn factor will get you a lot further in this world. Pains me to see how many "smart" people are so detached from reality these days. Carry on, and stay calm.

Great story! Definitely agree with your comments and mindset. I just hope there are more of us than the "detached from reality" crowd....:)

They left out the thrombosis on the vaxxed side of the card.

I hate conservatives
