Our kids (girls especially) have enough crap sprayed at them...this is utterly ridiculous. I with you, this needs to be brought up.

It does NOT belong on a worksheet!<br/>Bravo. Here's the teacher's number...let me know how it goes.<br/>JUST KIDDING! <br/>I WILL muster up the courage to talk to her about it, once Winter Break is over.<br/>Thanks, Claudia. :) Claudia,

And...this may just be my twisted self...but why does it look like the person in the drawing might possibly be sitting on or standing near a toilet?! Am I the only one who sees this? The whole thing is just nutty. Definitely time for a chit-chat with the teacher. Oh, for shame!

That is just wrong. And what exactly was the lesson being taught by this worksheet? I'd love to hear the teacher defend the decision to suck up valuable learning time with THIS - gadzooks!!!<br/>I have so much I could say about this... but my mouth is agape and I am drooling on the keyboard.<br/>Thank goodness your children come home to you. I'm sorry that you have to unteach when she returns home. <br/>argh!<br/><br/>on a completely different note: Thanks for the comment re:the cookie photo. I can't wait to keep shooting. Any tips on using a flash? Wow
