''As your daughter/ward Quinn’s Language Arts teacher, it is my sad duty to inform you that Quinn is not working up to her potential and is in danger of failing Language Arts, which I teach.''

''Now, I use the term “working up to her potential” deliberately, for it is my belief that all students have the potential to soar like eagles (educationally) when their imaginations and interest are engaged, and in fact Quinn’s imagination and interest are engaged, just not by school or anything to [do] with learning in any shape or form. Ironically, I myself have learned quite a bit about current skort styles and materials by listening to Quinn and her friends, but unfortunately this does not help her grade. Would that it could! In any case, I thought you should know about Quinn’s poor performance so that together we can help bring her grade up. When teachers and parents work together as partners, Look [sic] out world, nothing can stop us now!''
