Is this too sarcastic?
My daughters 8th grade science teacher has assigned parents the task of grading our own childrens formal lab writeup. WTF? The parameters for grading are specific and daunting. It will take a while and require my own notation for each section justifying the points I award my daughter. Here is my letter to her teacher;
Dear Ms. Smith,
Imagine my excitement when I learned that I was to be given the opportunity (assignment) to grade my daughters Buoyancy Lab Report! At first I was unsure if you thought I suffered an abundance of free time during my 60 hour work week or you simply thought my understanding of the tenets of buoyancy were incomplete. I have decided that this exercise is likely a sophisticated new public school contrivance designed to encourage “quality time” for my daughter and me.
With this in mind, I have attacked my assignment with deliberation and enthusiasm. I am thrilled to report that after careful analysis, my daughter Anna will not only recieve a perfect score of 55 points on her assignment, but the quality and style of her work has compelled me to award her 50 extra credit points!
Should you wish to appeal Anna’s score or the extra credit points she has been awarded, I will consider written requests. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Moses
