Re: Re: School Vent -- Teethbrushing

[Guest guest]

You're right on several points, . Using the brand name " Kleenex " is a

bit thoughtless, but not the end of the world. A lot of people say " Deep

Freeze " when they mean " freezer " for example. Silly, but there it is. Here

on my Island, the school supply lists are given to the stores that sell

school supplies and the parents receive no lists. I often received blanket

notes from teachers and schools that did not apply to my children, but I

didn't use them as an excuse to get angry. Life's too short.

Hi Jackie,

I wouldn't want to get into that and you are certainly entitled

to say what you like. I know in this society that Kleenex has

become to mean tissue, but that does not make it the correct

term. I just feel a teacher should try to be more correct than

the rest of us...they are after all, teaching.

Actually, there comes a time when brand names are accepted into the lexicon. It

is perfectly acceptable to say Kleenex,

just as we all say Jello and Scotch tape, to name a few.

I just don't think we need to be ridiculing a teacher for saying Kleenex.

I'm sure there are even doctors out there that say Kleenex for tissue! It

has nothing to do with " being educated " . I certainly hope when I become a

teacher that I am not held up to such scrutiny as this. I do think what this

teacher sent Gail is inappropriate but let's leave the Kleenex wording alone.

Our remote is duct taped together too!!! My husband loves that stuff. About

2 years ago my father-in-law gave my son $100 and a box full of duct tape for

his 9th birthday and told him it was the only two things he'll ever need in

life: money and duct tape. appreciated the money!!!

Hi Jackie,

I don't believe that I am ridiculing this teacher for this. I wouldn't

even

bring it up to her. In January I asked that Ted be moved to this school

which 5th & 6th graders attend. This was to get him away from the " unit "

that was in his elementary school. At the time I did not know that the

elementary school in my neighborhood was where all kids from 6 other

elementary schools were brought to. I just thought that the 13 children

with whatever disability or special needs happened to live in my

neighbor-

hood. At the time the 5th & 6th grade school did not have a MH unit but

a LD unit. The SD told me that it was totally inappropriate that Ted go

there. That 5th grade was VERY different than 4th and it was an emphatic

NO that I heard. NOW....they decide to move the " unit " and all of a

sudden

it is appropriate. In a discussion I had with this teacher that sent me

this

survival kit and class supply list, she said when I asked her why they

were moving the unit, (the unit is also being split up and they are

moving

the younger kids to another elementary school and the older ones (like

Ted)

to the 5th & 6th grade school) and I quote! " It is time that we share

this

population with another school! " Now THIS I will ridicule her for! WHAT

is Ted??? Part of a traveling circus??? This Kleenex thing has gotten

WAAAY

out of hand because it was just an aside comment and I am not wasting my

time getting angry about it or ridiculing anyone about it. It is just my

opinion!

I have way many more comments with this district to get angry about.

And that

pertains mostly to how they treat Ted and the backlash that I feel

because I

don't blindly go along with their " program "

You're right, Jackie. Teachers have a tough enough time without being

subjected to this sort of scrutiny. We Texans say " coke " when we mean

" soda, " but the waiter always knows to ask what kind. :^) One of these days

someone is going to serve us funny white powder with our soda straw if we

keep it up. 8-}
