A Sad State of Affairs
This next submission was received from a friend. The text below was from a college educated, high school teacher in response to my friend's inquiry regarding an assignment being turned in late by his son. This sickens me greatly:
"He could bring everything tomorrow to Rm B-107.
teacher's recommendation are turn in by the teachers not the students.
I will accepted this time.
Thank you"
