Certainly you aren't naive enough to think this kid isn't going to have the teachers walking on eggs. Just trying to remember to never refer to him as him or her, and making sure none of the other kids insult him. You know he's going to get special attention that detracts from the time spent on other kids. Hell, they are already spending money to send out pamphlets to all the parents.

BS.

Letter home is no different (expense-wise) from the nits and strep ones. Teachers are already walking on eggs. They are afraid to hug crying children for fear of sexual abuse accusations. this is no biggie, comparatively.

It's not a letter it's packets of information, not a sheet you run off on the xerox.
All this bullshit because this little bastard won't wear pants? Fuck him, he needs a good swift kick in the ass

I don't feel all that much pain for the other kids losing their share of those fractions of seconds of indecision.

That's part of their job already. Kids insult about anything, and if they do it in the presence of a teacher, the teacher has to address it. Nothing new.

So they put pamphlets in with a letter? I can't imagine how they managed.

And none of this supreme effort would have been necessary if they weren't worried about other parents freaking out, which isn't the kid's fault.
