My 8 year old's teacher gave my husband a call today about her 'naughty note passing' [View All]

Ok, so we all have done it. Kids around the world have done the note passing. Here's why this was a little different, and I'm foaming at the mouth.

First, I really like her teacher. She seems laid back and always tells me that Ive got myself a great kid. And she is! Hey, we've got five between us, and she is the 'easiest' by far. No back talk. No disobedience to speak of, etc.. She's a great kid.

Apparently the note really bothered the principal, as my daughter was sent to the office. My husband got a call about the note saying the following: 'let's talk about sex at recess' and she passed to a friend of hers, a girl. That was all we knew at the time, and I didn't call the school back, as it didn't seem to be that big of a deal. We are pretty open about talking about sex with our kids..but after she got home, TSHTF as it were. Not for what she did, but what she told me.

After my daughter gets home, shaking and scared, I ask her to tell me what happened. She said that her friend was asking about 'sex' and wondered what my daughter knew about it. Really innocent stuff. She was sent to the principal, by the teacher. Later on, as my daughter explained to me this afternoon, the principal told her' if you were my kid, I'd spank your behind and send you to your room'. Oh. Hell. NO.
Then, gestapo style, she said they cleaned out her desk to see if they could find more naughty 'evidence', Which they did not.


Ok, so I call my husband. I tell him, put off all your work, we have a little trip to make in the morning. Im LIVID. I can't believe that WOMAN would speak to my child like that.

I hope to God I am more calm in the morning. I'm kinda like Roseanne when it comes to dealing with uptight schools and rules. I just don't sweat the small stuff. But apparently a certain principal decided to make a mountain out of a molehill, and I'm going to have to verbally beat this woman's sorry behind myself.... sorry, Im venting.

So, yeah. Yippee, I get to confront the principal of this elementary school. Thank goodness my husband is more calm and collected.



The only ass whoopin' I see in the future is the one I want to give this principal. I told my daughter that I was more upset by the note passing(getting caught really) than what the note said.

Good ol Texas school system. What a load of CRAP, huh?
