You know, if you're going to say sophomoric things like this, then you're going to have to take criticisms like the one I'm going to give you. In your little defense of public schools, you misspelled the word "righteous." There's an "E" between the "T" and the "O."

And then again, maybe this is that new math stuff CNN keeps talking about, or a result of the breakdown of formal rules of English, but in that top paragraph up there you say that you have reached a "final note," and then in the next paragraph you say *that* is your "final note." Inquiring minds want to know, which one is the real final note?
As for your idea that you might have waited too long to send out the e-mail, I'm going to have to say you didn't.
I don't think you waited long enough- a spell check and quick reread would have taken a few extra minutes.
