What NOT to say to your child’s teacher…

after a long field trip, on which you have been a chaperone:
“Are you guys doing anything the rest of the day? I think I’m going to take little Johnny home with me now.”
Nah… I know we have another hour and a half left, but I just figured we’d lie on the floor and take naps. Just kind of “veg.”
Hehe. Is it possible I met this parent?
I don’t think you did… both offending parents didn’t eat lunch near us.
This seems to be a recurring problem with parents at our school… “Are you doing anything in class Friday? I think we’re going to take a trip…” I’d rather they just take the trip and ask for the homework in advance, rather than act like there’s the chance that we won’t be doing “anything”. Big pet peeve!
Oh my word! People amaze me!
