Your backne is embarrassing.

Your insecurities are more important than other's' insecurities.

When life is unpleasant, you should avoid it. [/quote]

Exactly.

OP, this sends a terrible message to your kid.[/quote]

I don't think any of you remember what it was like to be a 14 year old girl. Or you're men.[/quote]

And you think the other 14 yr old girls in class really want to do the swim class? I guarantee none of them do.  Should they all get a note from mom because they don’t want to do it? Only the boys have to swim? Or is it is everyone that doesn’t feel like swimming doesn’t have to? [/quote]

I don't care about other girls. I care about mine. I do not care if you like it, approve, think it's selfish, or anything else. [/quote]

Ladies and gentleman, I present to you the morally corrupt, spiritually bankrupt, self-centered, entitled American right before your eyes![/quote]

1000%[/quote]

You ladies or gentlemen really need help. Please take the weekend to examine your lives and relax, and determine why you need to react as you do to things that do not concern you. Don't affect you. And quite frankly, aren't that big of a F'in deal.

Seriously.[/quote]

Actually, this "type" of thing does affect me because I'm a teacher. And kids' behavior has gotten significantly bad in the last decade, and no it's not Covid. It's the "my kid is above the rules" attitude of getting them out of things they don't want to do. It's the "I don't give an F about the rules because my parents will back me up" type of behavior that is literally destroying the schools from the inside out. So yeah, it does affect me when I hear a parent get a doctors note so her kid doesn't have frizzy hair. She needs to get a grip and you need to get a grip. It's not this one issue, it's a whole mentality and it's gotten bad and that is why teachers are leaving in droves. Keep up this "me me me" attitude and there won't actually be a public school system for your grandkids. Or to educate the masses. Good luck paying a ton of money for private tutors!![/quote]

The people who need to hear and understand this never will because they're too small-minded, self-centered and selfish to see the bigger picture. I'm sorry that this is the kind of parents and students you have to deal with as an educator. You deserve better.[/quote]

This is so over the top. I have never, ever asked for even the slightest bend in the rules nor exception for either of my teens in all their school years and I still support the OP in this one stupid instance.[/quote]

You're not going to get it because you can't. Your limited thinking won't allow you to. Even when multiple educators take the time to explain the bigger picture, the example you set and the wheels this kind of behavior from parents puts in motion.

You continuing to dig in your heels, and insisting it's just ONE STUPID INSTANCE, just proves the point over and over again.[/quote]

Ok.[/quote]
