A student letter

The semester is almost over, and I had the counselor come in today for a "come to Jesus" meeting with my students. So many of them are failing not from lack of understanding but from pure laziness. That don't fly with me, chilluns! Here is a letter that one of my lovely girls (the one of "follow your dream!" video fame) wrote me:

Mrs. Pennell,
I sorry I didn't turn my work on time but I thank you so much for giving me a chance to make it up. To be honest if my mother knew I didn't turn my work in it wouldn't be a pretty sight. But next semester I promise you that you wont have this problem. My work will be on time and you wont have to worry about me talking or making lower than a 85 on anything. Thats my promise to you.

A.S.

I love it- let's hope she makes good on her promise.
