They sometimes put the note on the kitchen table, the refrigerator,　 　50　 　another place where their children are sure to find it. A note is often a 　51　 　way to "talk" with a child than using the telephone. For one thing, parents have time to think about　 52　 　they want to say before they write. 　53　 　another, the note lists all the information in one place. It is easy to read again and again.

For these reasons, after-school notes are very popular with parents.
