Memo To Parents
"If you have matters to discuss with a particular student, please obtain the permission from the proper school authority before approaching the student."
Clear enough. I wonder if an incident prompted the school to issue this memo...
School and a Mixed Bag of Emotions
"You can’t imagine your life with kids, until you have them, then you can’t imagine your life without them." ~Author Unknown It's been a week since two of our three sons flew to Manila to attend their classes. Even with the (remaining) 9 year old son at home, doing his usual stuff alternately watching tv, tinkering with his Legos, cutting/ folding/ creating things with paper and playing with the iPad, and making a ruckus all by his lonesome, the house is, weirdly, quiet.

It usually does. I guess the school is makin' sure that peace and order will prevail.
ReplyDeletei was thinking along that line too. and i commend the school for setting their procedures down to make the parents aware.
