I know this belongs in drewbe.ments but I just had to put it into drewbe.log for the sake of exposure. Here it is, a genuine “progress report" from 7^th grade, Mr. Bruggeman’s social studies class. This dates back to 1991 and includes the most frequent comment found on almost all of my report cards: “…He sometimes talks too much…”

Honestly, I think that comment is way too polite. I would talk all the time and I’m guessing that I was the talk of the teacher's lounge when it came to chatty students. I even found a yearbook from 7^th grade where a fellow student thanked me for talking so much that we got out of our math homework. The teacher was too busy answering my silly questions to give the assignments out...but he caught on later in the year.

Amazing how some things we never grow out of. Thank goodness we don’t get written progress reports at this age…

…maybe we should.
