DEAR HARRIETTE: I am upset with my husband because he thinks that it isn't his responsibility to do our daughter's hair — ever.

In those black-and-white days, so long ago, my high school classmates Cindy Smith, Cheryl Gordon and Jan Schwartz were popover girls, circulating through the General Glover House Restaurant dining room with a basket of hot, light and buttery rolls.

Sometimes on late nights, the town police would drive him home.

DEAR HARRIETTE: I'm a high school teacher facing a challenging situation with one of my students, and I'm at a loss for how to improve our relationship.
