So my daughters teacher is at it again.
Livy came home today and said that instead of two boxes of tissues for the whole class from the three students that originally brought them (She never called me BTW) she went out and bought some tissues on her own and they had already used all of them so now parents are being told to send the kids with their oen personal packs as she will not be buying anymore.
I have so many things to say about that. For starters, personal packs are what I normally send but like I said before this year I decided to do what they asked and I sent the box. I knew I shouldn't have. I should have continued to buck the system and do what the hell I wanted to do. For the teacher to tell the children that she would not be buying anymore tissues out of her own pocket... well, on one hand I get that she doesn't want to spend her paycheck on tissues all year considering that if this place doesn't get snow it's a hotbead of undying allergies. but on the other hand her demands seem to be being met by the other parents and she seems to think that she can keep making them.
Another burr stuck in my craw is that as per the supplies list, my mother got each of my girls five one subject spiral notbooks. Now keep in mind that my problem is not the price of the notebooks because they only cost .17 cents each but it would seem that at the first day of school the children were told to put all their notebooks on the table in the back of the room. The teacher then collected them all and assuming that there are 25 students per class and they each brought 5 notebooks that's 125 notebooks right? She took all of the notebooks and handed them out at her leisure. Olivia came home with one that was marked by a smart parent. He or she had written their son's name in the notebook and I can only assume they wrote it on everything else they bought their son. The teacher handed out random notebooks which means that if a child came to class with no notebooks, they now have a notebook curtosey of another parent.
We're back to the tissues thing from a few weeks ago...
I might need to see if Olivia can be moved to another class because this teacher is going to make me show my color before the year is out.
Suddenly, I can't wait to move...
