The Perfect Symbol Of Teaching Challenges

(In high school I tend to draw constantly in all my classes. One night one of my teachers calls my parents…)

Teacher: “I need to talk to you about [My Name]. She’s drawing these strange symbols in class and not paying attention to lessons.”

Parent: “Strange symbols? Oh! Those are hieroglyphics. She’s written like that since Elementary school.”

Teacher: “…”

Parent: “We can give you a key so you can read it for yourself if you want.”

Teacher: “No… No, that’s okay. Goodbye.”
