Teacher: "Your kid is fantastic and really nice and loved by their classmates, but there is one small problem..."

Parent: "Yeah? What is it, nothing about bad grades I hope?"

Teacher: "No, they aren't struggling in any classes, but they refuse to turn in assignments without their homestuck troll typing quirk, which messes with their spelling grade and our spell check system. Can you please ask them to stop using the weird punctuation and exotic old english characters? Is everything okay at home?"
