Next time, tell him he's ugly, and you can diet. Can't fix ugly.
Depending on how the term PHAT was being used. Most commonly it stands for Pretty Hot and Tempting/Tasty which is a compliment albeit not one a teacher would like to get from a student.
Other definition of PHAT is Pretty Hot and Thick, which could be taken as insult or a compliment depending.

DEF. Not one a Teacher wants to get from a student!!!! I was mortified! It was one of my horror sotries come true! Went right away to the principal to make sure I really covered myself.... other students were called in... luckily they told the truth.... it is a very scary thing to have happen. BUT this is not something that well mannered kids do!!!!!!
I thought my kids had good manners, but moving to a southern state opened my eyes to a whole other level. Within a couple of months they were both saying "yes sir" and "yes ma'am". I'm not sure the teachers expected it, but the football coaches sure did! Now, it's become automatic.
My kids recently began using "Yes, Ma'am" and "Yes, Sir" on a regular basis. It's not something that we require of them, but it certainly does turn heads around the neighborhood when they do so.
Considering the amount of time children are in school, if the school and the parents do not work together on this, they will not be educated about manners and social skills. Learning how to live around others in a mannerly fashion is something that will benefit them for the rest of their lives. What are those parents thinking?
I don't think manner and social skills should be a class that is taken but I do think it is very easy for a teacher to reiterate how important manners are. It is very easy to incorporate manners into a daily thing. How hard is it for a teacher to say "thank you", "your welcome" "please don't interupt when others are speaking." Alot of times if my kids forget to say "thank you" and I say it to them, the light goes on and they get it. Kids forget and need to be reminded and for those parents who think it is not the teachers job you are correct but for some kids they have to get it from somewhere. So maybe for me it is more the teacher teaching by example.
I think they should be constantly taught and encouraged. Do I think they need a time slot in a school day? No...but they should always be used, encouraged and taught if need be. Always...at home, at school, at neighbors, at grandma and grandpa's house...everywhere.
A relative of mine teaches Kindergarten and First Grade and has been getting alot of flak from the parents when she attempts to teach kids social skills, manners and etiquette.
It is absolutely needed in kindergarten! Some kids come in not even knowing how to wipe their butts!
There will always be issues a parent didn't cover or teach well enough at home to a preschooler--even when you try your hardest. Things need to be done differently at school and the children need to learn the rules. They no longer have to share time/toys/games with just their sibling(s) or one or two friends, but with at least 20 different, new children. There is no way for a parent to fully teach this at home.
And yes, unfortunately, there are those who don't teach their children any manners before entering school... But it is a long 13 years and if you want your tax dollars to be well spent, you had better hope the kindergarten teacher did a good job teaching social skills from the get-go!
i think parents are not doing their job.
i think the schools feed and raise the kids.
i think this needs to stop.
lmao, what are they supposed to do, let the kids starve at lunchtime and and have no break in the day have a bunch of grouchy ill-mannered kids who won't listen to the teachers because they are so hungry and worn out? lol. Yeah good plan... not
OP: I'd say its fine. More important things to worry about. The only conflict would be if the teacher is teaching them something is wrong that the parents themselves actually want them to do or have said is okay. In that case I'd just tell Junior to do it the teacher's way (depending what it is) while your in his/her class, but outside of that, not to worry about it. Life is full of those kinds of situations where we act a certain way in certain situations or around certain people. Its a good lesson in that case.
