------oh it gets better----

full of apologies, he tells me that she called him (on his cell because he doesnt have a land line. wth does she have his number? i dont even care) and she gave him a song and dance and ....
*drumroll*
he didn't know which was my home or phone number, and he was in the shower (washing away his common sense) so in order to avoid mistake, he

*wait for it*

*its good*

GAVE THE PHONE LIST TO HIS FRIEND SO HIS FRIEND COULD GIVE A PARENT MY (HOME) PHONE NUMBER.


yes.


Several questions....
At what point does it become ok to share your coworker's private information with your friends? who are not staff members??

Last year a staff member was suspended for a week without pay for giving out a parents number to another parent. So, despite all the warnings and admonitions, at what point does amnesia take over?

And then, why would a parent think that its ok to call the teacher of her FOURTEEN YEAR OLD HIGH SCHOOL child???? Will she call all of his professors in university when he has a cold? At what point does the student get to claim responsibility for his own life? Cus if not letting him take responsibility at FOURTEEN.... pfft...



-----now off to email the parent with the requested work, and CC the principal and vice principal and BCC the person who walked on his common sense one too many times and gave out my private information ---------

WTF?

i shoulda let the phone go to voicemail
