What Would You Do If You Received a Note Like This From your Kid's Teacher?

These are actual comments made on students' report cards by teachers in the New York City public school system. All teachers were reprimanded (but boy, are these funny!)

1. Since my last report, your child has reached rock bottom and has started to dig.

2. I would not allow this student to breed.

3. Your child has delusions of adequacy.

4. Your son is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.

5. Your son sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.

6. The student has a full six-pack' but lacks the plastic thing to hold it all together.

7. This child has been working with glue too much.

8. When your daughter's IQ reaches 50, she should sell.

9. The gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming.

10. If this student were any more stupid, he'd have to be watered twice a week.

11. It's impossible to believe the sperm that created this child beat out 1,000,000 others.

12. The wheel is turning but the hamster is definitely dead.

I received this in an email and I don't think it's funny.

    What would I do? Laugh first and then have a serious talk with both my child and the teacher.

    These are not real letters from teachers. This list has been going around for years, before the internet was even invented.

    It is a JOKE! I believe it was taken from a humorous article for teachers about how to conduct parent-teacher conferences - tongue in cheek.

    I remember some of them from when I was a kid. Even the really bad teachers that I endured over the years would never write comments like that.

        If these are real, and you as the parent are shocked to receive them, obviously you aren't very involved with your child's education. Sounds like most of these would come at the end of a long trying year.

        5. Your son sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.

        My fav.
