Conversations from a before school Suzuki class which should not need to be repeated after 100 days of school:

"You do realize the parent is supposed to attend the lesson" (that's why it is BEFORE school!)

"Your fifth grade sister is not your parent"

"Coming for the last 8 minutes of every other class does not equal regular attendance".

"Recording for home listening? What recording?" (from someone whose older child allegedly took Suzuki lessons, albeit from someone else).

Now, despite the above, I have to say my early morning class (whose parents come and make sure practice happens at home) is zipping along at record speed. Oh, and nobody broke a cello this week. I also have to squeeze some practice during my lunch for a upcoming strolling gig. My office is next to a staff bathroom. Today, I found out I was providing some musical entertainment ( La Vie En Rose) for a 4th grade teacher who had to sneak in a quit potty break.

And how did I finish the day ? A third grader, who never practices and whose parent once interrupted another one of my classes to ask me if we were learning anything, says as she is leaving-- "I think I may quit next Thursday".
