With every sip of wine last night I became more and more irritated with the whole Blue Ribbon-Gate thing. So I sent this email to Mr. Principal:


Last week my class earned our fourth Blue Ribbon
Goal by getting our second batch of 20 Awesome Tickets. This is indeed our
fourth Blue Ribbon Goal that we have met. I was told by the office that this
is under debate, since the
bulletin board in the office still shows me at three Blue Ribbons. I am not
trying to scam Blue Ribbons. Here are the Blue Ribbon Goals we have met so
far:

*For earning our first whole-class good behavior
award
*For earning our first batch of 20 Awesome
Tickets
*For over 50% of the class turning in their
Monthly Reading Log on time

This is our fourth Blue Ribbon that we have
earned this year. I feel disrespected that this is under debate, and amazed
that it is being debated. I would appreciate it if the bulletin board in the
office reflected our achievement. Thanks.


And here is is Mr. Principal's reply:


LOL No scamming going on. You are certainly at 4 blue ribbons. We will update.
I let the gals know because they were confused since Ms. Office Worker also does an award.
I let them know it is up to the teacher if they choose to use Awesome tokens as
a class goal as well.
Thanks for pointing this out! Have a wonderful holiday!


Huh. If his reply is true, then I should have seen that fourth Blue Ribbon on the bulletin board as soon as I pointed it out to the office staff. If his reply is true, then I wouldn't have been told yesterday that it was "in debate." If his reply is true, then this would not have even been an issue since every teacher at our school has claimed a Blue Ribbon Goal for 20 Awesome Tickets. Why was my choice to do the same being questioned all of the sudden? I smell a rat.
