Do kids even stand a chance with such idiots as parents? Sad.

Sadly, there are many students' parents who can not even try to write a note, funnily mis-formed or not. And for many of those parents, it is not their fault entirely.

And yes, all students have a chance. And most parents, even those who can't write or write well, care very deeply about their children and are passionate about giving them a chance.

Unfortunately, there are also many parents, even very literate ones, who don't care enough.

But these are very funny snippets, akin to some of the better church bulletin faux-pas (okay, what's the plural of that?) I've seen.

Faux passes?

Very funny stuff. I feel for Ray and his loose vowels.

I must gently disagree about the origin of these hilarious quotes, as I read (most) of them years ago when I was an elementary school secretary, but it just goes to show real humor lasts! Here are a few my teacher friends or I actually received:

(This was in a teacher conference with an elderly black great-grandmother who was raising 5 small children, and had been told her 6-yr-old g'grandson was using the "F" word.) "Now, Miss Nancy, did you say Cedric was SAYING dat or DOING dat?"

(A note I received from a parent.) "Thank you for geting the so off James eye bald."

(From a little girl who was sick and told me we couldn't call her parents because they were in the hospital. When I asked why?) "My momma don't want any more babies so she's taking Daddy to get it cut off."

(We lived in farm country.) "Please excuse Bubba for being absence. His sow had babiies and she couldnt nurse all of them."

? "Plese let Magnolia and Leenolia ofn the bus at the fault in the rode."

(Another teacher's conference, when the parents were told their little boy was being impertinent in class.) "Oh," said his momma, " his daddy is impotent all the time."
