I LOVE ALEX'S SCHOOL TEACHER

I love Alex's school teacher for many reasons, like she spends so much one on one time with him; like she conferenced with me at the school yesterday from 7pm til 9:45pm last night.  Well anyhow, yesterday during our little conference we were on the topic of how speech could help more. I was telling her about my calls to the Dept of Ed and their continuous comments on how speech should be tied to reading, but that over two years of attempting to get this done, I have given up on it.  She asked why I gave up on it and I said, "well, you can't teach an old dog new tricks."  Then in a semi-monotone voice she said, "Well maybe the old dog should be dead".
