But you are right...it is an odd thing for the teacher to have taught the kids, and if it has become something that makes other kids feel excluded, then it is inappropriate to play at school.<br /><br />I think when you have kids who are all about the potty humour you become so desensitized to it that you don't actually Mary Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494494129741610999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2162142934400774158.post-9258842224600632552010-11-18T14:32:21.174-05:002010-11-18T14:32:21.174-05:00OK, I had to giggle a little, but only becasue you...OK, I had to giggle a little, but only becasue you used the word "scat"-ological.

I'm not kidding.<br /><br />Bibliomama: I know that you agreed that it should be addressed. Thank you for saying that. Normally, I am soooo sure of what to do. But I feel like I am being "over-protective" and silly.

I am appauled at the insensitivties! Does no-one remember when a classmate had an "accident" at school? Does no-one remember the tears, the embarrasment, the snickers of the other kids? It is a traumatic experience never forgotten if you are the child. <br /><br />Now flash Sallienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2162142934400774158.post-87858493441586446782010-11-17T15:56:31.537-05:002010-11-17T15:56:31.537-05:00Pam: Good point, kids like to play tag.

I'm sure there are 100 variations that all of the children would LOVE!<br /><br />Dad: I should have said in my blog that Miss N is a WONDEFUL teacher who has been nothing but great to me and my children. I am thrilled that they have such a creative and fun teacher at the beginning of their educational careers.

What do kids love more than fart jokes and toilet humour? I would have been worried about a lot worse than this if she had mentioned 'inappropriate' games. (I did admit recently that I do have a very juvenile sense of humour).

I'm guessing no harm was meant but now that it has been brought up to the teacher, perhaps she will do another variation next time.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02702920556484108693noreply@blogger.com
