How do you politely tell a parent she's moron? I called a parent the other
day to let her know her daughter accidentally got paint on her shirt and it
might not come out. The child was wearing an apron which covered completely
so I have no idea how the paint got there. Anyway, the mom wrote a fairly
ugly letter to me. It really is dumb. She wants to me call her and every
parent every time we use a material that might stain clothes. The principal
wants me to address the letter - very nicely of course. I need to tell her
that she's an idiot for thinking that I can call her and every parent when
we use something that might stain. (Okay, so not the idiot part.) I have
rewritten this letter twice and I still think it is a bit too biting. Any
ideas on how to squash the fire?
