Daily Reflections from a Teacher of the Deaf

The Return of Ms. Education

So right before we go on the blessed and long awaited Christmas/Winter/Kwanzaa/Winter Solstice break, I’m back blogging again. It’s been awhile. Things have been busy, and I’ve felt really overwhelmed with school and theatre obligations. I’m trying again!

The latest fun was an incident with Kenny and Bobby, who’s in the class next door. The boys are friends, but do have conflicts, which are usually soon mended. On this day, Kenny returned from lunch VERY upset, and sat down to write the following letter, addressed to myself and Ms. Rabies: (spelling and grammatical errors are faithful to the original letter.)

Please note today in morning when we went to hoiday concert. Bobby and Steven telled bad things and words to kenny. Bobby and Steven telled “Fuck you Bobby” And one more thing Bobby & Steven will tell everybody to not be bobby’s friend. I said “WHY”? Both of them are laughed aloud. Then I am upset. Bobby & Steven laughed with me. I do not like bad things and words. Bobby say “Kenny is a poo”. Please you tell everybody do not be Bobby’s friend. even I am not bobby’s friend. please you tell everybody with Kenny’s friend.

Thank you!
Kenny

All in all, a really well written letter, complete with punctuation, and quotation marks (us teachers of the deaf will take anything we can get). And, just in case you’re worried, all is now well in the complicated friendship of Kenny and Bobby.
