I assigned new seats in my math class the other day. A few of my students were rather vocal on their distaste for the changes made. I told them that I was not going to waste class time over on the debate, and if they have a major issue with something, they could write me a letter addressing their concerns and possible solutions. The letters I received were pretty comical, and very few changes will be made. I did want to share one letter with you all that I found to be most ridiculous. You should know that this was actually one of the three total letters I received from this student alone. I’ve typed it exactly as she wrote it because I think the lack of English skills only adds to it.

“Dear Wenell

AA/the child who is going to die soon of boredom.”

If you see that I’ve put in jail for murder, you’ll know that apparently she did die after all. I keep taking my chances for now though!
