The Glade 4.0

Just about everybody else:

Obviously you all have such a wonderful knowledge of what it takes to run a classroom. Let the kids do what they want, fart, burp, spit....whatever. These are all natural bodily functions...So what.

Does anyone that commented to that effect have the first bit of experience of what it takes to run a classroom and keep the children in that classroom in line. Discipline policies are set because if you give just a little bit, there is no control whatsoever. If a school can't keep the peace and keep the children from running roughshod over the teachers and administration by letting them get away with whatever they want, there will be no learning at all.

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.

Send the note back with the correction. The teacher should be able to handle the correction. If not, tough beans..

Also, PM incoming.

I send my son to private school....

I mean unless he hiked up a leg and aimed at her

No, a private institution must answer to the demands of the consumers. This means not pissing off parents for scolding a child for making a silent and non-deadly fart that they wouldn't be aware of if the child had not told them.

I don't really believe that mispelled words are all that bad. They make you stand out and seem cooler ignorant, since almost everyone else lives in a world where everything must be spelled perfectly for no good reason spelling is part of good written communication.

Excellent, When all here that have posted as such have children in private schools and are irritated by a teacher's disciplining of their farting child(ren), then they can voice that opinion. Until then they can still shut the hell up.

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.

+1. Also the whole "**** teh unions!" has become quite grating.

Isn't the point of sending your child to a private school to have more control over the schooling (curriculum, discipline, activities, etc.) of your child vs. that of a public school?

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.)

Taly, there ain't a heck of a lotta options in bum**** Mississippi.

It's not like nut allergies are more common now than they were 30 years ago.

Factually untrue.

Beyond that, peanut dust, and even casual exposure to peanuts can be fatal for those with severe allergies. It isn't just what they eat, but the fact that it can come in contact with other things that can be a severe health hazard. There have been cases where a teen died from kissing someone who had eaten peanuts on a sundae several hours earlier.

Kids who are allergic to nuts should know enough to be careful what they eat.)
