It’s not the photo or telling us about a loss that was necessarily wrong or inappropriate.[b] Is that she’s leaning on students for support.
They are seventh graders, not grief counselors.[/quote][/b]

This.  You all want to beat on OP, but it was inappropriate.[/quote]

I call sock puppeting.  ^^^^

The teacher shared a life experience that thousands of children and families go through every single day.  You have no idea what parent or child in the room emailed her afterwards, shared their own story, and thanked her for being an ally.

Be glad and grateful you can't relate to the teacher. God forbid you are ever in the position to understand what having infant loss as a part of your story is like.

By the way, before you shine your badge Officer Overshare there is an entire website dedicated to best practices when it comes to childhood trauma, specifically with resources regarding addressing and supporting families that have experienced infant loss and sibling loss.

Your school is definitely better for having a resource that these families may be able to relate to and feel supported by.  I really hope you choose to back up on any thoughts you may have on gossiping about this or mischaracterizing the teacher's reputation within your school community.
