The Catch-Up Post

My favorite EA sent my princiPal a handwritten letter of complaint yesterday. She's upset that I've changed basal reading series (doesn't have the test book for this one!) and said that I wouldn't let Rotney take a copy of the book home. So NOT TRUE. My princiPal called and left a message that Rotney was, indeed, allowed to take the book home and that I would be teaching frequently from this basal. The EA never returned the call or the second call made today.

I wonder what the point of the letter was. Did she think that I'd be in some sort of trouble for switching series? Did she think I wouldn't advise my princiPal that I was doing this? One reason my princiPal is my Pal is because I've always kept her from being surprised by anything I've ever done. Confession is good for the soul and good for keeping your princiPal happy--every goof or misstep I've ever made, she's heard it from me first. And there have been several over the dozen-plus years we've worked together. Additionally, she, by my request, vets my emails for me when I'm dealing with a difficult parent. No sense in going out on a limb on my own.

Stay tuned. Will Rotney finally return to Nirvana School where students are handed A's and B's? Will the EA shoot me in the parking lot? Will I be sued for harming his self-esteem? Any and all of these outcomes is possible on next week's episode of I'm Tired of Rotney's EA. Stay tuned!
