Dear Parental Unit What and the Hell Were You Thinking?

The school uses a behavioral folder as a communication mechanism with the parental units.  On the cover of this folder a scholars behavior is noted for the day using a series of colors.  Blue and green are the colors that indicate to the parental unit that your child had a good day.  Yellow and red are the opposite of good behavior and should send up caution flags that things did not go well at school today and as the parental unit you should ask you child how her/his day went.  There is also room for the teacher or the instructional assistant (me) to write comments on the folder for the parental unit to read.  With that duly noted please pay attention to what happened a few weeks ago.

Yo put that game tablet back in your backpack.  You know those are not allowed in school.  Twice more the scholar grabs his game tablet from his backpack so he can show it to the other scholars and then they can play games rather than school work.  Again the scholar is told to put the game tablet away.  After dealing with oppositional defiance disorder for hours it's now the end of the day and a note is written on the scholars folder asking the parental unit to not allow their child to bring this device to school.  A couple days later this process repeats itself.  Again a note is made on the folder asking the parental unit to not allow their child to bring this device to school.  It is also noted that there is a good chance the device could get damaged or stolen.  A couple days later the scholar allows a classmate to take his game tablet home.  Yo what were you thinking and the game tablet still has never made it back to school.

The parental unit is now agitated and has a conversation with BaseG about the game tablet.  Actually a conversation is a poor description of what happened.  The word tirade is a much better word.  BaseG's response to the parental unit is a simple I can't help you as your child was told on numerous occasions to leave the game tablet at home.  We also informed you twice via the behavior folder not to let your child bring this device to school.  Well that should put an end to that right?  No way as now the parental unit makes a personal appearance at the school and this time the parental unit's target is the principal.  Big mistake as the principal reminds the parental unit that this devise is not allowed in school and you as the parental unit know that.  It now gets even better.  Because the parental unit was so well manner (NOT) when speaking to the principal the principal sent a follow up note home to the parental unit via snail mail.  The note said dear parental unit you will not be allowed back into the school unless you are escorted by school security.

So I'll say this one more time.  Dear parental unit what and the hell were you thinking when........
