So there was a form from school...

So there was this form that the school sent home to give parents input about some grade destructing that is set to happen next year.

The form asked a few questions to which I was to agree to or not.  I didn't feel represented by any of the options i was given, and so briefly i kind of lost my mind and decided to go, as they say... "rogue".

I don't necessarily agree that one method of learning is inherently better than another across the board and it irritates me that we get boxed into positions, drawing lines in the sand over these issues.

So i put some stuff that came out of me at the time, in ink,  all over the lone form we have for the twins that is due tomorrow.

Good news for me, is that we have my wife who is a more sane and expert communicator than myself... "more" would be an understatement for sure come to think of it.

Bad news for me, is we only have one form.  For a very brief time I thought my points were valid and I strutted into the room and announced "do you think this is insane?"... and then read what I just wrote, seeing for the first time that it is awfully clunky, terribly misguided, grossly ineffective and rather blindly arrogant.  I kind of had my head down to read over the parts i had scratched out... when i looked up, there was a mixture of confusion and horror on  my wife's face. 

Obviously we can't hand that form in... i might keep it just to remind myself not to do those things... maybe i should just write a song and avoid answering school forms on behalf of our family.

Yes lets do that.
