We regretfully inform you that all the 5th grade teachers are sick and tired of missing assignment reports. As a result of this and a “get your grades done ASAP” hangovers, we will not be sending home missing assignment reports this week. Who knows if we will ever get to them again. Honestly, when you have 10 pounds of papers to sort, correct, and frequently identify owners of, it gets old faster than you can say “you all fail!!” Besides, how many of your slacker children really finish their assignments any way? It’s like talking to a wall and expecting it to produce a completed math page. It’s never gonna happen! It has been said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. What are our weekly missing assignments reports if not a manifestation of all that is insane and illogical? Therefore, in order to preserve our sanity, and as a byproduct your child’s life, we have decided it is high time to cease and desist with the futile efforts of getting students to complete work and make something of their lives. Let them be slackers. After all, we’ve already passed 5th grade.
Sincerely,
Tired and Disgruntled Teachers Who Need Career Changes

Amen! I only wish we could have sent it home.
Aaaah! The bane of my teaching existence! Love your letter!
I'm glad there are teachers like you who still persist even after all the crazy things that teachers have to deal with.
