Awww that's awesome! Thank you and Cheers to you as well :)

I love the story of your daughter and her Language Arts teacher, and of course how conscientious she is in writing the poems for all of them, without your help. That makes me smile. I used to have students who were proud to tell me that they would skip out of any other class, but never consider doing that to me. It was a strange position to be put in haha

As an aside, one year, I told my (English class) seniors that they would not be receiving any grades for the first few months. Instead we were going to focus on improving their writing, as opposed to them focusing on their marks. Of course they were horrified and terrified, but that semester, they had the most improvement they had ever noticed in a very short time. It was an interesting snapshot of what I consider, one of the main problems in our education system.

Not sure where that came from, but I just wanted to share it.

I'm going to enjoy my glass of wine now and read some fine poetry by my new friend :)

Cheers!
