ugh

Apparently, I've lost my mind and have become stupid as well. The (almost) two degrees that I have are not enough because Parents (not mine, but my students) obviously, know more than I do. I mean, why assume that when an assignment says "using Native American legends as a MODEL only, write your own legend" that this means to WRITE YOUR OWN LEGEND. Not copy another legend, already written, but to write your own. I must be stupid, right?
