For the record, I said you will come off as a smartass, not that you were being a smartass. And I also said that what Riov said, if she's a *****, Taylor is going to take the brunt of it. I was just trying to avoid the crapfest that could ensue though I do think it's pretty funny.
And the farting thing boggles the mind. I mean unless he hiked up a leg and aimed at her, things like that happen. Laugh, tell the kid to try not to do that around people, and move on.
This, in every way.

+1. Also the whole "**** teh unions!" has become quite grating.
Public sector unions in general are a blight on society. Nobody has a right to earn a good living at taxpayer expense. Government will pay what it needs to to get the service it wants to get. Holding the taxpayer hostage with collective bargaining and threats of work stoppage should be criminal.
Outside the public sector, unions have their place. Government protection of those unions do not.

The opinions here really sicken me. Most of you have no idea of what you are talking about and just keep spouting your anti-public school BS. Just proves to me that teachers are really looked down upon for what they do because they DARE to try and control a classroom of 20+ children so they don't have absolute anarchy on their hands on a daily basis.
I have nothing but respect for a good teacher, and strongly support the public school system. That said, public schooling quality in the USA is notoriously
bad. This is not an indictment of public schooling in general, or individual teachers, but some systemic problems that must be addressed. (And it's
not an issue of funding.)
Anyway, as has been pointed out, all those rules go out the window as a private school. If they want to spank kids for farting, fine. I wouldn't send a kid there, but that's my choice.
