So, I had to resort to emailing my difficult child's teacher today. After I sent it, I forwarded it to my little sister, who has a 20-yr-old difficult child who has gone through drug rehab 3X. Here are the emails, for your commiseration ... (I edited the names out)

Hi K,
difficult child was very stubborn this a.m. and refused to change his clothes, wash or wear socks. He reeks (in case you hadn't noticed.) I have placed an extra shirt in his backpack. Perhaps you could get the school nurse to talk to him ... I am taking away privileges until he bathes. Sorry to get you involved in his hygiene, but I suspect your nose has already gotten you involved! ;-)
----------------
Did you ever have to send an email like this to your kids' teachers?

My sister's response:
No, can't say that I have. However, I do have a letter sent home from school day-care that says C's inappropriate behavior (waving her underwear out the bus window), would not be tolerated.
Things haven't changed much...I kept the letter for some reason. It reassures me it was a nature vs nurture thing...
