I think that is absolutely ridiculous. I'd be pretty upset if I was a parent in that school district.

That's a sweet memory... :) From what I've read about your upbringing, it seems you had great parents.

That is terrible on so many levels...

Wow! What a story...

You're clearly very new to this, with much to learn.

That's pretty much what I said, but different wording.
