Fourth grade diplomacy

Posted on April 20, 2010 | Comments Off on Fourth grade diplomacy

I like this nice turn of phrase by one of Mr. B.’s teachers, even if she did misspell hygiene:

“With the onset of warmer weather, please be aware of changing bodies and their changing smells. As we approaoch puberty, controlling body odor can be a challenge. Please be aware that body odor can be strong and stigmatizing in 4th grade. Thanks for your cooperation in reinforcing good hygeine at home.”

Imagine being close to the action all day in a tiny classroom. Heh.

    Also “approaoch”, which makes this message a boon for attentive pupils who like to have fun on account of their teachers.

    And I can easily understand that “higyena” issue – a tough nut 😉

    Yes, but I think “approaoch” was a typo. Hygeine has the look of someone who doesn’t know how to spell. Higyena? Well, that might be a case of English as a second (or third) language.
