10:16:52: @seananmcguire At least a fast-forward button. COME ON.

10:42:00: @digitaldraco Wishful thinking and omg I'm SWAMPED.
12:52:24: @KMont Believe it or not, the Asian markets near me are the ones with stroopwafels. Reliably.
12:53:18: @Lea_Hernandez Pear-flavored as well would be, well. Compensation.

12:57:12: @KMont *looks at the clock* During school hours? That's...something.
13:02:34: RT @seananmcguire: Let's talk about stealing on the Internet. http://seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com/288301.html
13:03:42: @KMont A teacher has time to compose a legitimate email during school hours?
13:07:54: @KMont *shakes head* I am so sorry. Me (and a lot of the cohort) can relate.
13:16:35: @KMont *nods* My social circles on Twitter overlap like whoa - you need parenting touchstones, I has them. No shrinking violets, either.
13:18:59: @KMont I *like* getting reports - good or bad, but I'm bent that way.
13:19:41: @KMont Interesting as in interesting times, I'm sure. Hang tough as my mother would say.
13:20:08: @KMont Parenting young higher-level primates. Yahp.
13:25:12: RT @wilw: Usage example: "I call bullshit. That's 50 Cheneys on the Cook's Source Scale; pay me and give me fucking attribution, dickwads."
13:26:39: @KMont A very excellent question. I tend to look at intensity and repetition of issues. Getting email every day is pointless.
13:27:26: @KMont More than three of them, and it's time to make a plan on how to deal with it and oh my yes - BACK OFF THE EMAILS while change occurs.
13:30:33: @KMont There also may be more to it, I'd check if this was documentation to CYA instead of assist the parents.
13:31:23: @KMont Oh my, do I have social workers and educators in my immediate family? *blushes* Why yes, I do.
13:33:09: @KMont Good luck - and don't take it personally. Rule #1.
13:33:41: @KMont BTW, do you and @edonald know each other? Mebbe you should.
13:34:35: RT @peoplefor: Karl Rove's Crossroads takes big money from Wall Street but bashes the Wall Street bailouts in anti-Dem ads. Watch: http: ...
13:35:26: @KMont LOL. Why does that not surprise me...but then again? How long as she been retired? More than ten years? It's a whole new world now.
13:37:09: @KMont And yours is the kindergardener who didn't pre-K, wasn't it?
13:42:18: @KMont They publish teacher performance ratings in the newspapers here - and one committed suicide when it was less than stellar. So - no.
13:43:41: @KMont Thank No Child Left Behind - teachers get very wrapped up in getting the kids to do benchmarks, they have to. Come on, everyone does.
13:44:28: @KMont That's what you'll hear. The assumption is that kids are in care at preschool age (and earlier), not the other way around.
13:46:39: @KMont So this is the first exposure to some of it? Two months is nothing. And as I said, 3 emails and it's time to pow-wow.
13:47:57: @KMont http://articles.latimes.com/2010/sep/28/local/la-me-south-gate-teacher-20100928
13:49:15: @KMont I was assured of many such things bringing a Mandarin-only speaking 3.5 year old home. Amazed wasn't it. Relieved? After 9 mos.
13:50:27: 10,000 Tweets. My, how words do fly.
13:52:20: @KMont Three emails on the same subject and that's it. You don't need it.
13:54:10: @KMont What is accomplished by it, after that? It approaches bullying.
13:54:26: @aplacetobark !!
13:56:43: @KMont She's not going to go to college tomorrow, and you'll change strategies as things change. I'm just not a fan of 'wait and see.'
13:58:07: @KMont It'll be okay. And I'll dig up some quick and dirty help for you tonight.
