Ever had a teacher question you over something your kid said??

Inspired by the kids saying how old we are thread

Have you ever had a teacher ask you something bizarre based on what your kid said to them?

Our son's Kindergarten teacher informed us that our son had shared with her and the class that he saw us having sex every day!

Upon further exploration we discovered that he thought kissing was sex and we kiss goodbye every morning!

I would have loved to seen the look on the teacher's face when your son told her this.

Kindergarten is an amazingly funny place. I asked a student what his Mom calls him. (we were discussing nicknames) He said Mom doesn't call him anything but Dad calls him a Pain in the A**, Does that count as a nickname? A little tact and diversion got me out of that one.

There is a new one everyday

I hear a lot of odd things at school from the kids.

I once heard a principal tell parents, "If you don't believe half of what the kids say about us at home we won't believe half of what they tell us about you at school."

I had a child in Sunday School tell me once that her dad had a nole in his underwear. I've gone to church all my life with this man and I've never told him she said that.

OMG!!!!

When my oldest was in 1st grade, they had to do a drawing that depicted their family. Imagine my surprise when I saw DS's drawing at Open House, his picture didn't include his new baby sister and didn't even mention her in the story that went with it. His teacher was surprised to learn that DS did have a sister because he never mentioned her.

My son was "begging" other kids at lunch for food and some other kids told on him. He told the teacher that we didn't have any food at home and he was starving. He told the teacher he didn't get lunch money and had nothing at home to bring. The school social worker calls all concerned. She told us what our son had said and wanted to know what the school could do to help....blah, blah, blah.....

Well, of course we had food and gave our "dear" son money everyday for lunch. There is a handi-mart next to the bus stop and the little genius was spending his lunch money everyday on a soda and chips. We calculated that he blew over $200.00 bucks on junk before we caught on. I am just glad they didn't call DCFS on us!! He did have to work to pay back the money he blew...

I've never had much problem with DS in that area because he didn't say much to teachers in elementary school, but DD's been a hoot! She always has a story about us travelling to Hawaii, or some other interesting place. She also tells teachers that she's allergic to certain foods she doesn't care for. Oh, and one teacher told me that she said that I wouldn't allow her to do homework.

I did just remember something DS did recently (he's in high school). For whatever reason, he threatened a teacher that he would tell me how unfair he was being and that I'd be calling him and letting him have it! That comes from his days in middle school when I really did have to go up against unfair teachers and administrators. Oh well, at least he knows he can count on me.

My dd makes up family members. She has a sister and mother in jail and lots a bad cousins that say bad words all the time. I am sure her teacher thinks my poor dd as the most screwed up family!

too funny.

Had an annoying moment with the school nurse when my DD was 7 years old.

My DD was going through a stage where she never wanted to go to school on fridays because of the spelling tests. She hated spelling.

Friday morning, Jessica is telling me she doesn't feel well for the umpteenth time. I sent her in, she had no fever...no other symptoms besides the same upset stomach I was hearing about every friday morning.

I get a call about an hour later from the school nurse, not only had she thrown up in class, but had a pretty high fever too. So, she was obviously not bluffing this time.

I was like, "Oh my gosh, she seemed fine this morning", to which the nurse responds in a very condescending tone "Well Mrs XYZ, Jessica told me that she told you she wasn't feeling well and you insisted on her attending school anyways"...I felt like an inch tall. I meant that I didn't think she was really sick.

I told the nurse, "Did Jessica also tell you that she gets 'sick' every friday morning since she started taking spelling tests at school?"...she lightened up a bit after I explained the spelling test 'flu' she had been recently complaining of.

Embarrassing moment. I always checked really closely after that when they said they were sick on a test day, just in case.

ds once had a paper that they he had to write a sentence using the word above. well he wrote "i am above everyone else" the teacher showed this to us at the trimester meeting, when we got home and asked ds about the paper he got this "oh geez people" look on his face, and said we didn't get what he meant, he meant "above people on an airplane". he just didn't bother to write that part. (he is famous for having half the thought in his head, gets it from dad, lol). the teacher had hoped it was something like that but had to ask.

My son once told the school nurse he had ebola.

LOL, my nephew told my sister he was sure he had ovarian cysts, because he had all of the symptoms. Too much Discovery Health channel. (Ot, but your post reminded me of it)

I remember another... When my oldest was in K, they celebrated Water Day. They had to wear their swimming shorts to school and had to bring a towel and regular clothes. I placed all his items in a plastic bag, along with sunscreen, and put it all in his backpack. Sometime around noon, I got a call from a volunteer mom... You know the type, all self-righteous and assuming ... Anyway, she proceeded to berate me because I didn't send DS with a towel or his regular clothes to change into. I told her that I had put all the items in DS's backpack and to look in it. She said, "Well, he says you didn't". I was so mad by then, I told her that unless he had thrown his backpack out the car window on his way to school without me noticing it, that the items were in his backpack and to check for herself. I called the school after a few minutes had passed to find out if the items had been found. Sure enough, they were in his backpack and all was well. His teacher apologized for the misunderstanding and for the mom's nastiness.

One thing I've learned since having children... As honest and good as they may be, don't be too quick to take what they say as fact. Investigate further and you'll find out the real scoop.

I hope my sister doesn't read this - so was so embarrassed.

My niece attended a church run pre-school. One day the teacher announced that they were going to hear a story about Jesus. My niece (who was three at the time) spoke up loudly and said she was allergic to Jesus.

My niece has a long list of food allergies and rather than have others try and convince her to eat foods she couldn't have my sister has taught her that she is "allergic to" rather than she "didn't like those foods.

It took some questioning but the teacher eventually discovered that my niece was allergic to CHEESES, not Jesus.

My daughter had a "canker saurus" in her mouth! Too funny!!

 

[poohandwendy]

LOL figment, that is hilarious. I can only imagine the look on the teachers face....

When I first went back to school for teaching, I had to go to our local police department to get fingerprinted (to do observations at schools, etc.). My son, who was in third grade at the time, told his teacher he couldn't do his homework the night before because I was at the police station getting fingerprinted, and I couldn't help him! His teacher called, wanting to know if there was anything she could do to help. It took me awhile to figure out what she was talking about, and after the embarrassment wore off, we had to laugh about it. My son had a knack for comments like that, and I always keep that in mind when my students tell me stories!
