Babies on the Brain

Stupid parent award of the day goes to...

... one of my student's parents.

Kid comes in (for 2nd time in 2 weeks) without a winter jacket on. The weather here is sub zero celsius.  Last time I wrote and called home, saying please make sure he's dressed appropriately before leaving the house. 

So, he comes in this morning, no jacket.  I get the office to call home, mom says "he doesn't want to wear it."  Um, hello?  Who's the parent here?  Your kid is nine years old.  Make him wear his fVcking jacket.

  • Good grief! I've had students that just didn't *have* winter coats... but not to make him wear it when he does have one? ?Does the office have any spares?

  • No, no, no, MrsC.  She wants to be her son's "friend" and friends don't make friends wear jackets.
  • That's when you woop that azzz!

    Very true. In fact, I think I have a keychain that says this. 

  • my sister used to make the kid stay inside during recess and help her clean up. If it was really that he didnt want to you bet that after a couple of days he would be wearing a coat, otherwise she would send one home with the kid because he probably didn't own one.

  • Even if the office did have spares, I wouldn't be lending this kid one.  He can sit in the office all recess until his mother brings his jacket. 

    Yes, I can be a mean teacher.  ;)

  • So when the kid gets sick, you will know who to blame.
  • I love that. Maybe I'm just mean but I'd shove my kid's arms in the jacket and make him zip it up and everything. Maybe put on the hood for good measure. You're going to wear that jacket dammit because I said so. LOL

    I hate parents like that.

  • My DD hates her jacket and hat, but guess what, she still wears it because it is COLD outside! Some people are 'effing idiots who should not breed!
  • Ok, maybe not allowed to breed is a little harsh, but I just saw something on the local news this morning about a 1 year old who was killed in a car accident because she was not in a car seat, so I am being snippy with all idiot parents today!
