Obviously you have the right attitude, as do most teachers. However, I had a phone call once from one of his teachers that was pretty much like that letter. She was pretty unimpressed when I backed my son up rather than her.

This may be snopes debunked, but I find it infinitely amusing. Good Yankee Fail:


> This is an actual radio conversation between a United States Navy
> aircraft carrier (U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln) and Canadian authorities off
> the coast off Newfoundland in October 1995. (The radio conversation
> was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on 10/10/95 as
> authorized by the Freedom of Information Act.)

> CANADIANS:
> Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a
> collision.

> AMERICANS:
> Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a
> collision.

> CANADIANS:
> Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South
> to avoid a collision.

> AMERICANS:
> This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR
> course.

> CANADIANS:
> No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.

> AMERICANS:
> This is the aircraft carrier USS Lincoln. The second largest ship in

I don't know for sure if this fits in here (I mean, the guy definitely IS doing it wrong.), but I love this commercial so much.
