Questions and answers

21 Apr

Officially, I have office hours. All the teachers in my district do. And yet, I get interesting questions by email at all times of the day (and night). I thought I’d share a few of these with you today, with my answers.

    Hah! I also have been recruited for a “small, part time, mostly social situation,” in Ladd’s Addition for a bunch of 6 year olds. I declined and told them it was not ok to break the stay at home order.

    Wow!

    Sincerely, Kathleen Parker 💕

    I like this format. It is interesting the questions students ask, some still trying to wheedle out of something while others try to look for something extra.

      It’s classic, isn’t it.

    I love your response in to these questions! It must be so reassuring to your students to know that you are not in a panic and they shouldn’t be either!
