Any anecdotes?

My favorite....

My wife had a parent come in for a conference. the parent spent ten minutes
aggressively questioning each and every assignment that his daughter had
been given since the beginning of the term. My wife was very upset.

A week later my wife met an old friend who was the assistant principal in
the school where this parent worked as an English teacher. He gave new
assignments based on what he learned from my wife.
