Rules for working with me
When not to call your friendly, neighborhood test prep provider:
- When you cannot use your flashcards. If you are a parent of a high schooler and you are mystified by flashcards, you need more help than I can give you. Give the cards back to your child and have your child call me. I respond better to talking with your child anyway, because your child will not yell at me about how I am taking a precious day of studying away from him. Your child understands that there are 95 days left until the October SAT and one day won't kill him.
- When you want to tell me about your remarriage and what your child did while you were away. This one is surprisingly common. You would not believe how talkative people get with their test prep providers. I am not a therapist, nor am I a priest. I just want to know what you need on the phone in re TEST PREP.
- If your child ran away because he couldn't stand the bourgeousie, racist, and sexually unfair nature of test preparation, I don't need to know. And if you're going to want a refund because of it, wait until the kid returns from running away.

Yay! You updated! And with a great post, too. Although if all those people stopped calling you for certain things, what WOULD we talk about over wine??
Seriously, the stories are great for bonding--and don't even get me started about the latest mom I have, who wants me to call her in Louisiana every day with updates about her lazy-ass son.
