How to offend everyone; humor...we had conferences last night, Coopers teacher said Cooper was struggling to understand how to embellish his personal narrative...a story based on something that happened to him. The teacher told him it was okay to embellish or make stuff up that didn't happen to make his story better, so the teacher typed in some details while Cooper watched and Coopers jaw dropped. Cooper explained..."but thats not true, that didn't happen". His teacher explained to him (and us last night) how it is okay to make stuff up and lie when you're writing your story so its more exciting.
I mean how could I NOT say "oh , you're training up future Mainstream media journalists"...the resource room teacher got it right away and had a good laugh, Coopers teacher was thrown off his kilter a bit, lol. I said "Im sorry, I should have set the joke up better for you and had you insert the media of your choice... so he blurted out "Fox news" and that seemed to make him feel better, lol :)
I left feeling proud of my kid for knowing whats good and whats not good, he might make a good journalist after all some day ..... just the facts ma' am, just the facts.
