Today a parent told me they're sure that their child would be succeeding in math without my "interference." Which I guess is my teaching?? Their child is in 4th grade and refuses to participate in class, doesn't do (and isn't encouraged to do) their homework and fails almost every quiz or test by not doing the work or not getting the work correct. But it's my fault.

So…they want you to put the kid in a room where they’ll be safe from interference and allow them absorb math from the energy of the universe? I want to watch that happen. Any chance you can set up a webcam for the event? I’m betting on at least a cinematic sky beam.

Does anyone have family members who constantly demand money because they feel like you’re rich now because you’re a lawyer?

I’ve given a detailed summary of all of my expenses yet every month one family member in particular comes to me for rent money (not some, the full amount, and they refuse to get a job). It has become quite the burden.

My district has finally gone 1-to-1. Is there a good app or website that I could use to have students submit answers anonymously while going over problems in class? I did this last week using Kahoot to go over a state testing review packet. It was great because I could see how many got the right answer and move on if no one missed the question. However, I would like to do it without having to create something in advance. I hope this doesn't sound confusing.
