Dear Ms. Gibbs,
Thank you for your explanation re: the rap song and your intentions behind presenting it in class. It does amaze me that it is hard to convince students that tragedy is still relevant today. I feel that they are overwhelmed with tragedy and tend to block out its reality. (Just listen to or watch the news daily.) Maybe it is a self-protection mechanism?
Congratulations on your upcoming delivery. I hope that all goes well, now and for the next 20 years!

This is when I love parents. 🙂
Some teachers rock.
Some parents do indeed rock. I came across three (examples where the parents truly did rock) on my caseload this month. And so far, no parents reaming me this year! ::happy dance::
I’m glad the mom asked, and I’m glad she was willing to listen to (read) the answer. Yay!
