What?

Dear readers, you have endured many complaints in this blog before but this one is a new one for me. I went into the high school today to make another presentation on essays. The teacher requested this appearance and I spoke to two of her classes yesterday. When I showed up for the class today there was an unfamiliar woman there. At first I thought little of it, people do get sick. But the classroom teacher hadn't even called in sick. She simply hadn't shown up. That meant there was no lesson plan, no work, nothing. To add to that, the woman they found to babysit the students, and that is all it was, told them they didn't have to be there if they had some better place to be, leaving eight students in the room idly chatting.
