[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 608155, member: 1233"] She sounds like the reg ed 5th grade teacher that Wiz refused to have anything to do with. He went to her room exactly twice and said he was going to drive her nuts if they made him go back. ALL the kids knew she wore either thongs or no underwear at all because she flashed them constantly -and it was no accident. Her husband is a counsellor in town and has some info that some people on the board of ed don't want anyone to know so she is bulletproof, but both kids and parents loathe her. One preacher kept trying to get her fired for inappropriate dress and attire and lots of people thought he was just mean until the PTA garage sale a few years ago. Her husband brought a bunch of kittens up to try to get them adopted out and it turned out to be the hugest mistake he could make. The teacher told anyone who came that she thought her husband wasn't a 'real man' because he would not hit the kittens iwth a rock to get rid of them. She had students crying and people refusing to buy anything because of this. The PTA president finally told her to either leave or shut her mouth because she was an idiot and the meanest sluttiest person alive. The teacher was honestly shocked that anyone objected to her clothing or topics of conversation. When she asked me why people objected to talking about kittens being killed iwth rocks, I told her I could not explain because she was too stupid to understand. I was done being polite to her and my kids were out of her school later that week. She cried and I got six high fives.

She is a truly bad actor and I don't have much patience. I told her not to ask me because she wouldn't like the answer, but she insisted on an answer so I gave her one. I warned her.
