[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I see that responses to your post are all over the board. As a parent (and former school counselor) I would talk to DS about why such conversations and jokes are inappropriate for school. I would send an email to the teacher and the school counselor. If the jokes and conversations are happening at lunch then they are likely happening at other times also.

PP's- just because "it's what they do" that doesn't mean it's appropriate. If that's what happens in their houses (or in your houses, PP's) then it's no biggie- I'm all for live and let live. But there is still a time and place and the lunch table with many other kids is not the time or the place.

OP- specifically mention in your email that you would like for your son's name NOT to be mentioned if this issue is addressed with the boy. For most teachers and counselors this would be a no-brainer, but you never know. You want to be on the safe side and not have any blow back land on your son. As a school counselor I said to kids, "A teacher walked by and heard your conversation", or something similar. Many kids are focused on their own things during lunch that they don't pay attention to nearby adults.

Good luck, OP[/quote]
