Thread: Wishes I could really send this out.

Dear "Everyone Wants This Kind of Parent" Parent, Thank you for your support! Even though we may not see eye-to-eye on everything, I can count on you to make sure your child is respecting me and doing his part as a model citizen and student. I know he's mirroring what he sees at home. Thank you, Signed, Blessed Teacher A-Z Teachers: I had to include a letter like this, because there are parents like this and for...

I'm sorry, e1t1, but that is hilarious!!!!! Not to deal with, I know, but to read!

Dear Mum, Just because you teach in the elementary section downstairs and get here early does not mean your daughter and the other girls in your carpool can come upstairs before the middle school bell rings and mess around in the restroom and locker area. Oh, and even though I know the elementary school is dismissed a full 45 minutes before the first middle school bus gets here, your daughter really needs to stay in class until that time, even...

I almost spit out my coffee while reading these

Dear Different Parent, Could you please try a little harder to get your son or daughter to school on time. Could also please stop walking your son or daughter to the class room. I realize that he is your baby (or maybe not) but at school they are expected to be as independent as the rest of the first grade. Must you walk them in everyday 20 minutes late or later and proceed to do everything for your child. Must you tell me for the millionth...

Dear Mr. Mullet Parent, Thank you for walking your eight year old child to class each day. Thank you for holding her hand as you escort her to the classroom door. Thank you for the fatherly strength you provide as you remind her that you will be there to eat lunch with her. Thank you for hugging her and reminding her that you're just a phone call away. We try very hard at ______________ School to instil a sense of distrust and fear in our...

Unfortunately, one of my children has one of those. This is funny I was typing before you posted. I went to get a glass of water and then posted it my post was not aimed at you

Cello, I think you do need to send a version of that one! ETA: I meant the first one!

Quote: Originally Posted by Mamacita Dear Daddy, Your faith in your daughter is lovely, but the fact remains that, in spite of your assertations that puberty has put a few pounds on her, she looks as though she's swallowed a beach ball. I do hope you're taking her to an obstetrician to keep track of her, um, weight problem. If she goes into labor in my classroom, I'm going to be really P.O.'d. Sincerely, Mrs. Crankypants...

Dear Trusting Parent, I think it's wonderful that your child has finally decided to start handing in work for first marking period. However, I am unable to comply with your request that I put an A into the grade book for her while she has a 67% with the understanding that she will earn that A eventually. If she keeps up with her second quarter work and only hands in her late assignments after completing her current ones, I will consider...
