You have a doctor appointment in the next large city over for a personal health appointment. If you rebook it it’ll be in 2 months and you rather take this last minute opening. Many clinics have a wait list for when someone cancels appointments. So you got a call saying “can you come in next week?”.
Taking the rest of the day off because of minor med side effects. Think teeth work ish.

I got an email last night from a 7th-grade parent because her son said I mentioned the words "male privilege" in class, and she is very concerned about how that is related to ELA (she said "reading"), and she is concerned about this being taught in public schools. To be clear, I didn't do a lesson on this subject but we did discuss rights versus privileges. I've had multiple parents contact the school/get upset with me because of things like his. It's exhausting... Thoughts?
