“It pained me to see your typed poems left in the passenger area of the car. My instinct was to get this to you somehow, however, it is your job both to complete the homework and to submit the homework. I did my part by asking you about it. I did a little extra when I asked you, this morning whether you had it. You said that you did, that it was in the car. And then you forgot. I keep thinking about how upset you will be when you can’t find it in your binder. But, it is my job to let you learn these hard lessons and allow you to suffer the disappointments that come from your own actions.”
