[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, so another child said that back when schools were segregated, your child would not have been allowed in class with the rest of them. What exactly do you think the teacher should have said then? It sounds like you are angry that your child was singled out. Do you think the teacher should have punished the other student for singling your child out or something? [/quote]

Oh sorry, I see that you did say what you thought she should have done. So "cuckoo" was not strong enough huh.[/quote]

Glad to see you went back to read but your original response is sad.   In what world, would a parent seek a revengeful approach to a comment made by a child?  Thanks for projecting characteristics on me, though.  "Cuckoo" was not elaborate enough.  [/quote]

I sense your anger and sarcasm, but I didn't know what you thought was wrong with "so cuckoo" so I was just guessing. It completely sucks to be the only minority child in a classroom. I really wouldn't write off your teacher as clueless or incompetent though because she didn't have a lesson ready on the spot to respond to the question of why schools used to be segregated. I also wouldn't write off your whole school because it's very white. [/quote]
