Teachers, do you too have to write letters like these...??😲😆

Now a days teachers are not allowed to say or write anything negative... A few interesting letters from teachers to get around this... I loved every one of them

Dear Parent,

We are delighted to inform you that your child displays remarkable initiative. Not for him the simple-minded obedience to teachers. We refer to his admirable refusal to do homework. We have, however, humbly requested him to stoop to our level and condescend to do his homework. Your support is appreciated.

Yours anxiously,

Teacher

Dear Parent,

Your child's distaste for mundane subjects such as mathematics shows an imaginative mind. Why, he wonders, does the square of the hypotenuse have to be equal to the square of the other two sides in a right-angled triangle? It is no wonder that he has scored a splendid zero in his math exam. Unfortunately, even brilliant students have to pass exams. Could you gently break that news to him?

Yours entreatingly,

Teacher

Dear Parent,

We are pleased your child has one of the same qualities that Henry Ford, the founder of the Ford Motor Company, possessed. Like him, your son believes that history is bunk. But it may be best to disabuse him of the notion that the Mughal emperors were Amar, Akbar and Anthony.

Yours beseechingly,

Teacher

Dear Parent,

Your child submitted a blank paper for last week's science test, influenced perhaps by Albert Camus who said 'Whether the earth or the sun revolves around the other is a matter of profound indifference'. Your son shares that profound indifference, undoubtedly for philosophical reasons. But could you inform him that in order to study philosophy, he has to pass class eight first?

Yours plaintively,

Teacher

Dear Parent,

Your son has obviously read Friedrich Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil, which is why he was copying from the boy next to him during yesterday's test. Like Nietzsche, he believes that Supermen like him have little use for conventional notions of morality. The teacher who caught him copying is a conventional type who gave him a zero.

Yours desperately,

Teacher

Dear Parent,

We are impressed by your child's knowledge of martial arts. In the past month, he has broken two legs, four arms and three noses. He also shows prudence while fighting, taking care to pick on weaker boys. For some reason, however, the fathers of the boys who were beaten up are planning to go to your home with hockey sticks.

Yours wretchedly,

Teacher

Enough lessons.😈 I've suggested that Ram Shankar Nikumbh Sir take over Jalal's classes and so will it be.😡

Jalal told me that Rose Ma'am was drawing mosquitoes and flies and various insects on paper and called them all alphabets. Poor Jalal. No more Chinese.😛

My remix poem.

(The original titled, " A tragic story" by William Makepeace Thackeray)

There lived a sage in days of yore,

There lived a king many years ago

And he a handsome pigtail wore;

And had a harem full of wives galore
But wondered much and sorrowed more,

But enjoyed much but sorrowed more

Because it hung behind him.

Because none could taught him English any more.

He mused upon this curious case,

He pondered over this curious case
And swore he'd change the pigtail's place,

And swore he'd find a teacher for this
And have it hanging at his face,

And looked for someone in Lashy's thread
Not dangling there behind him.

Scrutinising names from A to Zed

Says he, 'The mystery I've found -

Said he- "The person I've found out.."
Says he, 'The mystery I've found!

Said he- " The person I've found out"
I'll turn me round,' - he turned him round;

"She is the Dazzler, she is the Dazzler.."
But still it hung behind him.

"Who else, but Rose the Teacher

Then round and round, and out and in,

Then round and round, and out and in
All day the puzzled sage did spin;

All day the king was confused within
In vain - it mattered not a pin -

"English or Chinese? " not that anything matters
The pigtail hung behind him.

"The classes would be a place for natters"

And right and left and round about,

And Sandy and Chellam did the merry -go- round

And up and down and in and out

Wooing him to establish their ground
He turned; but still the pigtail stout

He didn't respond: but the fight went on
Hung steadily behind him.

They continued their tiffs without sojourn!

And though his efforts never slack,

And though her efforts never slacked
And though he twist and twirl, and tack,

Sandy had to oblige with Rose's request

Alas! Still faithful to his back,

Alas! With the one condition
The pigtail hangs behind him.

To tie in his hand the Rakhi Bandan!

KK.

It is not easy finding a teacher for Jalal - the vetting procedure itself would scare many a teacher away! 😆

Why, Rose?😆

Female teachers willing to tie the rakhi bandan have an edge.😃

Those would be rare! 😆

Thank you Periyamma for today's Periyamma Special! ❤️

Such a fun-tastic piece it was! 🤗
