What the?

This "secret" is currently up on Postsecret - kind of made my jaw drop, but I loved the response someone left. I bet there will be more resonses - poor Frank will have his email filled.

Response: "Our children are our lives and we're in your classroom because we know how little some of you really care about them and about us. Our little secret? We don't trust you with our children unless we're keeping an eye on you."

Awesome response. I'm so glad Tyler's teacher doesn't feel the way that teacher does.

whoa! I've been on both sides of the coin. Both are valid responses, when included with the appropriate circumstances.

I once had a parent quit her job, so she could come to school with her 13 year old everyday, because he could not make good choices. It lasted for like two weeks. I wonder if it worked?

Oh My Gosh! I saw this too and had the same mouth dropping response! I even almost posted it on my blog! I love that you read postsecret! PS I too loved the response!

Awesome response. And being a mother IS a job. What the heck?

I had a teacher tell me not to come into my 1st grader's class once a week to help with reading. In his former school, that is how I knew how to help him catch up with his class since we moved a lot. I went to the Superintendant (filling in for the principal) and told him of my concerns. He told me to come in anytime I wanted and then offered me a job at the school.
Don't tell me not to keep up with my children's lives!!
