    I guess the teacher could'a tattooed it across the kids forehead instead of putting a note on his shirt....I mean, tatt's are so popular with the young ones today and all....

    Especially getting tattoos of their own names. I never understood that. Are you so stupid you don't know your own name so you have to look at your arm to remember?

    Although, and this is just awful, I'll admit, we had this one girl at school who had her name tattooed across her own chest in HUGE letters. The joke between the students was that she was such a "lady of ill-repute" that the tattoo was so the guys would know her name when they were ... I think you'll get the point.

    Wow, that is the greatest euphemism ever.

    My favorite is "ladies of negotiable affection", although in fairness I suppose one could include "gentlemen" as well.

    Can't speak to mom's fury, son's supposed traumatization, or teacher's frustration, but bottom line is that, intentional or not, the teacher's action resulted in a FERPA violation. No matter how many degrees of batty a student or parent drives you, this is never acceptable.

    It shows questionable judgement to resort to stapling a paper to a child's shirt. There are policies and procedures in place for these situations, but instead of following through in an appropriate manner, the teacher chose to implement her own "solution," which likely has turned out to be a bigger headache than the original issue.

    Sadly enough, this teacher has added fuel to the fire for those who would see teachers stripped of collective bargaining agreements.

    With that being said, I'm also the mom of a notorious note-losing son--until he realized that the accumulated consequences were FAR worse than giving me the notes. :sly:

    Well the teacher did make an effort according to the article to cover up the note with the kids sweatshirt...lmao! I think this is hilarious. Was it a bit over line probably as we can't have teachers thinking it is okay to staple notes to children but I have to admit is that it is funny that this was her solution... and seriously why did the kid not pull it off? I think the parent is being a bit dramatic and the kid and parent apparently need to toughen up and get over it but this would mean that we stop spoon feeding our children and I don't see that happening anytime soon!

    I was in a knitting group with a middle school science teacher and she kept knitting bright pink belts....after I had been a few times I asked her what they were for. Well when kids when come into her class room with their pants hanging down past their a$$ she would make them wear a pink belt in her classroom! She rarely had repeat offenders ;)
