[quote=Anonymous]My little sister called me yesterday, freaking out.  She is turning 30 next week and doesn't want her birthday announced at work (she's a teacher, and her school reads any staff and student birthdays each morning on the announcements to the whole school).  I'm also a teacher, but I've never worked at a school that did this, but I don't think I would mind.  My sister, though, is not married and is feeling sensitive about her 30th.  Her school never asked for permission to do this, but does it for everyone, and my sister is especially upset because she tried to ask the person in charge of the announcements not to do it, and he told her that since kids read the announcements, they are excited about birthdays and "no one else minds", so he is going to do it anyway.  The thing is, I know her principal from a previous job, and we were on good terms.  My sister wants me to email her and ask her to honor my sister's requests, but I think this would be kind of psycho.  Now sister is angry at me as well as freaking out.  Thoughts?[/quote]
