Dear Spike:
For the first time since we arrived here, three years ago, the city school district is hiring elementary school teachers.
Salt Lake City may be the capital of the child-rearingest state in the union, but in recent years, a lot of Mormon families — the ones that most contributed to the state’s overwhelmingly young demographic — have bled out into the suburbs. They’ve been replaced by single professionals, new immigrants, ski bums and others who aren’t as interested in popping out 10 kids. Fewer kids means fewer teachers, and that’s made getting a job — or even an interview — tough going for your mom.
She doesn’t mind working in the suburbs, but that's not why she became a teacher. So she’s trying to get in as many interviews as possible before you come.
To that end, she could use some help. It would be great if you could wait until she’s had a chance to impress a few principals. That shouldn’t take too long — she’s pretty darn wonderful — but if you could buy her a little bit of time, that would be great.
Love,
dad

I hope she gets a job soon as she sounds like she'd be a wonderful teacher.
