... and yet it still drives me absolutely bonkers when a teacher undermines my decision to send a kid back to class.
Little one (LO) came to school with a "get out of jail free" note- you know, the ones that say something like, "________ wasn't feeling well yesterday, please call..."
Well, LO had no signs or symptoms warranting a call home, and this particular note asked for a phone call home "IF" it was felt he needed to be picked up.
Sent him back to class and his teacher called me immediately to say "he is coughing and needs to go home. My whole family has had this and I know what is going to happen." ::Insert eye roll::
I called and stressed to mom that it was her decision to make, that I had sent him back to class but his teacher wanted me to call.
Why send them to me if you are just gonna argue and undermine? Why not just go ahead and call yourself? I will mention this to her when I get the chance, I just needed to vent!

Staggering diagnostic abilities. The Force is strong with that one...until she tells a parent that the kid has ADHD and needs to be on medication, and then the district will be tiiiiiiicked.
