Parents--got love em

In the past two days I've had to call two different parents!! Yesterday's parents was great nice and understanding and would talk to her son about a problem that we had yesterday. This student's mother is also a teacher at another school--so she understands things.
Well, today my class was really good up until the end of the day. We had studied what predicates were and to my suprise they all got it and understood it. They had so much fun trying to figure out what the predicate was. Anyway, the were wound up and couldn't get ready to pack up to go. So, I made them sit back down and try standing in line again. We were 3 maybe 4 minutes late leaving the class. About 3:45 the PA system chimes in and ask if I was still in my class room. The military Liason walked down to my room and said that student X's mother was very upset because she was 5 minutes late getting home from school. The mother had told Ms. B that she was worried because her children are never late getting home from school. Ms. B said that student X's mom was yelling at her. So, I ended up calling mom at home and explaining why she was late. The mom said that she was getting her babies ready to walk to the school to see what was wrong. The mom said that they are usually home by 3:20. Okay so they got home at 3:25. I appologized and said sometimes the class will not leave on time because of situations such as the one that occured today. I wanted to tell the mom to chill the F down and to relax for a bit.--We all know that I can't say that. I was really nice and understanding. But come on!!
Hopefully tomorrow I won't have to call anymore parents. UGH!!!
