stradmom, lol.

K8sDad, in the future you might want to ghostwrite these emails (with her approval, which I’ll bet she will give happily.) Your support is invaluable to her. A lot of parents help their kids with the secretarial stuff (some don’t and some kids won’t allow it, but many are grateful for the extra support.) I know one mom who was chastised by a teacher when she called him during the daytime to arrange a lesson (her son was unable to call during school hours, the only time to reach him.) He ended up at a different conservatory, and who knows if the mom’s call had anything to do with that. It’s all very tricky. Sometimes one feels that one is playing a complicated game without being allowed to see the rulebook!
