[QUOTE="brandyf, post: 102070, member: 4110"] at least it was another child who told.... last year my daughter easy child in the third grade, her teacher told the entire classroom that santa wasnt real. she literaly asked a question "who believes that santa has to be a made up story?" and of course everyoen raised their hands, one after teh other...only a few (my easy child being one) just paused in shock. well let me tell you guys...i was sent thru the roof. duh santa isnt freakin real.., but its a childhood fantasy. me and another mom, good friend of mine went to the principal...and he didnt have anything to say about it other than that he would talk to her about it. he said they go thru this every year wiht some parents. but she is a teacher adn has the right to teach fact. she also is a huge member in her baptist church (we are too),..so she told the story about baby jesus. which duh, we do too in our family.. has nothing to do with santa. we dont pray to santa, its a young sugarplums and lollipops fun filled fantasy for children. i just thought it was way out of line. i truley wanted to be the one to tell her about santa and the true story of santa. so,....that is what i did. i just said "that is really sad that she doesnt beleive in santa, when you no longer believe in santa you have really lost something special." i also pulled up the story about Saint Nicholas on teh internet being a historical, legendary and mythological character associated with bringing gifts to the poor. she is smart enough to understand, but she did drop a tear or two. truley if i had to do it over, we would have never started the santa thing. it really turns into trouble quick.
