Maybe apply some of your abundant cleverness to just being a good, normal parent and getting your kids to school on time?

But this is so precious and cheeky! Plus, teachers are so abundantly worshiped these days, it takes a really brave and clever person to make their lives more difficult just for fun

At first I was amused, then I thought of being the teachers who receive these long notes, and the jokes falling flat pretty fast.

And with the #HashtagHell #OMGsoManyHashtags #seriouslystopalready, it felt more like a trick to rack up Instagram followers and likes and whatnot than actual attempts to apologize to teachers (or make fun of their kids).

Otherwise, get the kids to school on time. They can slack off all they want when they get their first job.
