This morning I had the meeting from hell and walked out totally stressed and needing to do a TON of work for our next meeting tomorrow morning. I quickly logged on to my school email and found a message from a parent - "How is XXX doing in your class?"
I quickly wrote back and said that he is missing a lot of assignments because he cries a lot and disrupts class, therefore needs to leave the room.
A few hours later I logged back into my email and found another message from the parent - "Can you tell me more about this "crying" in class - is he actually crying?"
I hit reply and start typing out a message about how, yes, he is actually crying. A lot. Every day. In the back of my mind I'm thinking this doesn't add up - this mom KNOWS her son cries all day every day. Why would she question that?
Just as I was hitting the send button, I noticed the subject field - it said: XXX YYY. The kid I had been talking about was XXX ZZZ!!! I wrote to mom and explained that I had the WRONG XXX and that her XXX was doing just fine! Fortunately she took it fine, but EGADS! I am sooo embarrassed....
