Summary
1907 “Children, please have your parents sign or put their X on your graded papers and return them to me tomorrow, or else I'll have to speak to your parents about it at services Sunday. Now, fifth-year children, take out your science books and turn to page 141 so we can read about the eight planets.”
1957 “Kids, please have your mother sign the graded papers and send them back as soon as possible so you don't get a demerit. Now, take out your science books and turn to page 141 so we can read about the nine planets.”
2007 “Please remember to get your parent or guardian to log in to the class home page so that I know that someone has seen your posted assignments. Now, take out your science books and turn to page 141 so we can read about the eight planets.”
