Ok, more on the calling of my student's momma, since I realized that it sounded a little odd. I tease my kids, especially those who are more ADD, that I am going to call their mommas. Well, I have this one kid whose mom and two sisters live in Mexico City, he doesn't talk to her a lot, lives with his dad and older brother. As much as I can tell he was there this summer and hasn't talked to her since. Well, he started saying that I should go ahead and call his mom..."What do you want me to say?" "Tell her I'm ok."
We went through that banter for a few days, then Friday he brings me his mom's phone number in Mexico City, writes down her name and tells me to call after 8. I asked did his mom speak English and he said to ask for his sister Georgina cause she speaks "a little." (this last bit was with a grin and a giggle, so I'm not real sure how much 'a little' is.) So I really think he does want me to call. Not sure what to say, he is a good student, very bouncy, the boy who taught me what "tuba" means in spanish, but a sweet kid. He apparently misses his momma and wants her to know he is doing ok.
So, does anyone know how to call Mexico City?

Don't know how to do it, but I bet Dan can figure it out. You should call his mom! Wouldn't you want someone to call your mom? That would be very nice, and I bet the mom will really appreciate it!
I found someone who can translate for me, so I'm going to go over to their house next Monday night and call. if I get into trouble, she can step in. I am afraid that I call and all they understand is "i'm Hernan's teacher from FW" and they panic. :)
