A student brought me a note yesterday. She's a nice girl, but struggles with attendance as well as with math. Although she has failed the last two terms, she has decided to start out the new semester with a fresh, revitalized attitude and told me she wants to start doing well. The note is very sincere, but funny. I thought I'd share:
Thank you letter to Mrs. Binggeli:
Dear Mrs. Bing,
I just wanted to thank you for being so patient and caring. I appreciate how you never let people slack off and to be honest with you, I detest your class. I figure when I get my grades up & stuff though I'll really start to like it more though. You're a fantastic teacher and I'm sorry that the [less competent and responsible students] in your last semester's class would just stare off like lobotomy victims. I'll get to math time eventually.
-J
