Excuses!!
Excuses written to teachers
"My son is under the doctor's care and should not take P.E. today," wrote a
parent. "Please execute him."
"Please excuse Mary for being absent," wrote another parent. "She was sick
and I had her shot."
These drastic measures were inadvertently taken in notes written by parents
to excuse their children's absences from school.
In all fairness to pupils throughout the land, I must point out that
slaughtering the English language is a practice that is not limited opnly to
students. An astonishing number of grownups blithely go about murdering the
King's English without any inkling that they are committing a serious crime.
If you think that today's students aren't learning all they should, check
out some of the writing miscreated by their moms and dads. the following are
actual excuse notes received by teachers.
