Finding readers in the most unusual places

The coooolest thing ever!

My son's science teacher broke his shoulder so he had to be out for two weeks (he's the one who was instrumental in the district adopting the science textbook I like, and he teaches evolution "straight-up").

During that time, they had a substitute teacher. She gave them their first assignment - to find something interesting science-related and write a short report.

Then, she started listing which sources are legit and which are not. Then, my son raised his hand and asked if they were allowed to find information on science blogs, for instance on one his Dad writes.

She asked:"What's your Dad's name".

He said "Bora".

She yelled:"Nooooo waaaaay! YOUR DAD writes A Blog Around The Clock!!!!"

I guess this blog is popular around here....

Well, being a sub, she is not in school any more, so my son cannot just say Hello, but she reads this blog - now I know this! I'd love to get a comment or e-mail....

Comments

For all you know she's commented before, right? Tee hee.

It is possible, but I do not know.

"Nooooo waaaaay! YOUR DAD writes A Blog Around The Clock!!!!"

...She exclaimed as she deftly slid the sheet of paper she was about to recite with the class in a desk drawer. For, on it, began the words, "I pledge allegiance to the flag..."

Sorry. I couldn't resist. :)
