I just had to share this ...

Today my son came home and said he had testing all day. One part was a reading / opinion essay. My son said, "Well, I learned last year that opinion can mean a lot of things, so I went up to the teacher and asked if this was my opinion or just a nice way of asking me to regurgitate what I just read."

I asked how the teacher responded. "She started laughing really hard and said it really was my opinion. Just to be sure, I asked her if it was any opinion or just a nice opinion. She said any opinion, so I told the truth."

At least this time he asked and clarified. That is huge progress.
