phone calls

my student who left a couple weeks ago to move to another school called me a few minutes ago. he sounded really sad.

maybe that's due to the tetanus shot he has to go get ... because he got jumped today in the cafeteria and got bit in the chest. and no one from the school so much as called his mom.

he told me about his new class. the teacher is a man, and is mean. they don't read a lot because they don't have any books (i asked if he was serious, and he said that the only books they have are the textbooks). in science and social studies they copy vocabulary words and look up the definitions. there are ten kids in his class and he is friends with one of them, and the rest of the kids are "bad and mean."
