Didn't see this posted here. Sorry for the repeat if it has been shared. But it just blew me away. The parent doesn't respond to phone calls or other notes so the teacher stapled a note to the kid and the parent CALLS THE MEDIA!?
Here's a clue - elementary teachers pin notes to kids every day in every elementary school in the country. Deal with it. Oh and when my own children were young, I pinned notes to them to be sure their teacher got them. So turn me in for public humiliation!! I'll tell my kids they were damaged. :eyes:
MIAMI (CBS4) – A Miami-Dade woman said her son’s teacher made a big mistake ridiculing her son, but the district said there was an explanation for what happened to the student at W.J. Bryan Elementary School.
“This is totally wrong. This is inappropriate. This is ethically wrong,” Rose Innocent said about what happened to her second-grade son at school. She claims that his teacher humiliated her son by stapling a disciplinary note to his shirt for talking in class.
“He was upset, he said the kids had been laughing at him,” Innocent said. “He was embarrassed and humiliated.”
“Everyone was starting to laugh at me,” the child said. “That’s when I got the feeling; I was angry and mad.”

Miami-Dade Schools released a statement saying: To make sure that the note reached home, the teacher fastened the note to the child’s shirt, then placed the child’s sweatshirt over it, so that the note would not cause any undue attention.
