For me a good day is a day without a call from a teacher. I'd have the operator screen my calls at work, but I think the teachers have figured that one out and now make the Oompas call me themselves to give the bad news.
ISS = In School Suspension.
I may be mistaken but I don't think any of my teachers ever had to call my parents... Well, except for that honey bee incident, and that wasn't entirely my fault because I specifically told that stupid boy NOT to squeeze his hands together once he cupped them over the bee on the flower...
And that sprained wrist never would have happened if that other boy hadn't tried to run away like a sissy when I twisted his hand ever so gently behind his back and up to his shoulder...
All in all I think my folks got off easy as far as I was concerned. But not me. I've had the food fight call, the 'kicking the kid in the face' call, the unauthorized making of foil Star Wars fighting vehicles in Math class, the 'hasn't turned in any homework all year' call, you name it, my kids have done it and you can be sure the school/s have called me about it.
Okay, not really, I'm just kidding... but it would kind of be nice to know... just in case, cos you never know when the option might come in handy, one day, some day, after the millionth call from the school.
Only one call so far this week. Of course this is only Monday. And that was only one Oompa. I still have two others in school, and each Oompa has 7 teachers. That still leaves 20 phone call opportunities.
I can hardly wait.

One day, you'll think back lovingly at those oompa calls, and miss them.. LOL... No you probably won't, but the kids gorw so fast.. :) Julie
I got that phone call last week, only David had cut a bus seat which had to be fixed at a cost of $53 that I made him pay with his own money. I sure as heck didn't cut it!

Calls from school stink.. this I know. But you make me laugh so much!! Not laughing at you! But I know the next call I get from school will make me think of this and I probably will get hung up on because I'll be laughing.
Yeah I'm know as that "nutty mom"
Luv,
Promise
hehehe I homeschool. I WISH I had someone to call and complain to!
You know that old adage " I hope you have one like you, or worse. Just so you know what you put me through." Would your mother have happened to curse you with that by any chance? *Winks* (Hugs) Indigo
LOL...I do remember the days of phone calls. Somehow we survive and so do they...love, Sandi
