Slightly crazy writer and passionate educator for those who struggle
The art of Candid
Candid is about honesty,
Bluntness and open frankness
These things that I am none of
Now this presents it’s problems
In Partent teacher inteviews
And phonecalls to said parents
As I find myself too often
Glossing over the “I owe yous”
The fact that your child had ten detentions
Morphs into “What a great young lad”
And the fact that your child always causes tension
Turns into “Ocassionally she can get a little mad”
If I could master the art of candid
I’d be able to be open handed
And tell my dear parents
The facts unrelentant
Then maybe I’d have less abberants
And some of the kids would be repentant

Unfortunately, if you were completely candid, most parents would resent everything you said!
