going into<br \/>\nninth grade in the fall, so they invited the parents of all incoming freshmen to<br \/>\nan orientation session.&nbsp; Ninety minutes in, we were <i>still<\/i> watching<br \/>\nthe same powerpoint slide show which, click by agonizing click, listed every<br \/>\nsingle bloody course the high school offers.&nbsp; Math I.&nbsp; Math IA.&nbsp;<br \/>\nMath II.&nbsp; Math IIA.&nbsp; Regents Math Facts.&nbsp; Like all gripping<br \/>\npowerpoint shows should be, this  segment was narrated by a math<br \/>\nteacher&#8211;&quot;We offer Math I.&nbsp; Math IA.&nbsp; Math II.&nbsp; Math IIA.&quot;&nbsp;<br \/>\nAnd in explanatory moments, we&#8217;d hear, &quot;If your child is deficient math, those<br \/>\nstudents take Math IB&#8230;.&quot;&nbsp; Of course, I was mostly off in another world by<br \/>\nthis point, watching the six-year-old at the next table make faces and fly his<br \/>\nhands around like jet planes, marveling at the absurdity.&nbsp; I should have<br \/>\nknown it was going to keep us on the edges of our seats when the moderator of<br \/>\nthe whole meeting (the guy clicking the mouse to list each of the hundred<br \/>\ncourses) started with, &quot;We&#8217;re on a four day schedule.&nbsp; We have day one.&nbsp;<br \/>\nDay two.&nbsp; Day three.&nbsp; And day four.&nbsp; Most classes are offered on<br \/>\ndays one and three or days two and four.&quot;&nbsp; Was straight to this meeting<br \/>\nafter ten hours on campus.&nbsp; We almost skipped, but after sitting in the<br \/>\nnear-vacant parking lot for ten minutes, enduring a prolonged three-way dunno-about-this,<br \/>\nI said, &quot;Let&#8217;s go.&quot;&nbsp; And of course we picked a table in the middle,<br \/>\nmore than five paces<br \/>\naway from all the exits. <\/p>\n<p>By the time those in charge got around to scanning the room to decide whether<br \/>\nthey should explain the ELL (formerly ESL) courses, which they described in the<br \/>\nmost obtuse terms imaginable, and by the time they announced that the Child<br \/>\nDevelopment course was for &quot;young girls who are pregnant or who might not be<br \/>\npregnant but who will have children one day,&quot; and by the time they told us that<br \/>\nHealth I &quot;covers everything about healthy lifestyles except for sex and drugs,&quot;<br \/>\nI was long past burned up.&nbsp; I think some of that carried over to today.&nbsp;<br \/>\nMust&#8217;ve.<\/p>\n<p>But there&#8217;s also been a heaping load of work stacking up.&nbsp; Five.&nbsp;<br \/>\nFive! letters of recommendation for freshmen I had in class last semester&#8211;three<br \/>\nfor scholarships and two for transfer applications.&nbsp; I really don&#8217;t mind<br \/>\ndoing the letters, but five at once felt like quite an addition, and I wanted to<br \/>\ncustomize them sufficiently that each one actually characterized the student.&nbsp;<br \/>\nAnd extra care with proofreading.&nbsp; Probably shouldn&#8217;t have signed them &quot;transferably<br \/>\nyours,&quot; eh?<\/p>\n<p>Nothing more than that.&nbsp; Posted<br \/>\n<a
