Teacher sends boy, 5, home with bag of poo

**RaVen Blackehart** · April 22nd, 2009, 10:30 PM

YAKIMA, Wash. -- A 5-year-old student at Apple Valley Elementary in Yakima headed home on the bus with more than books in his backpack. Inside was a smelly package his father never imagined he'd be toting around.

"I'm still kind of in shock over this, because why would somebody do this? It's disgusting!" said the boy's father, who wished to be identified only as "Jason."

Jason says his son's kindergarten teacher had bagged up a piece of human feces and stuck it in his son's backpack. His wife found the stinky mess.

"She found a clear plastic bag with a piece of fecal matter wrapped up in a brown paper towel with the note on it," he said.

The note read, "This little turd was on the floor in my room."

Jason says his son's teacher, Mrs. Graham, called last Friday and said her classroom was "stinky." She asked if the boy could have had an accident.

Jason acknowledged the possibility, as his son had had a couple of accidents in the classroom in the past. He told Mrs. Graham there were extra clothes in his backpack.

Jason never imagined the teacher would send his son home with evidence of his accident.

After his wife found the bagged mess, Jason e-mailed school officials. Days later, he received a response apologizing for the delay in dealing with the issue. On Tuesday, he was still waiting for a chance to speak to school officials about the incident.

"What would have happened if it had stayed in there and she hadn't checked the bag? And other kids were playing on the bus and it got out? And it's a very hazardous thing. It's disgusting!"

The school's superintendent said the boy's teacher and the school principal are being questioned. School officials said they'll meet with Jason and his wife next week.

In the meantime, Jason wants his son placed in a different teacher's classroom for the remainder of the school year.

ok, first off the teacher is a fucken bitch and should be fired, second, little kids do have accidents especially if they are not allowed to leave the room to go to the bathroom, the teacher is a disgusting bitch, a call to the parents would have been sufficient.

Absolutely she should be fired. Disgusting wench!

Think of the psychological damage that could do to a kid. Cruel Bitch

**theskyisfalling** · April 22nd, 2009, 10:42 PM

Couldn't this be considered a federal offense? Something along the lines of 'illegal transportation of human refuse or biohazardous waste'. Hell, the turd could be seen as a wmd if looked at it from a certain standpoint. It could have contaminated tons of children with ecoli, staph, or sepsis if it would have been removed and played with before discovery. Extreme, I know. Just sayin.......

**StashRider** · April 22nd, 2009, 10:44 PM

I don't know, every time I read that note "This little turd was on the floor in my room", I laugh my ass off. I keep thinking the teacher is referring to the child. LOL

**malq** · April 22nd, 2009, 10:57 PM

If this wasn't so tragic for the kid it would be funny. In all my years of school I can never remember a kid dropping one on the floor though. It is quite unusual.

I do remember Dana Castleberry letting one go out her dress on the playground.
that was weird. I hope she doesn't see this. LOL

Yeah fire that teacher. How inappropriate of a reaction is that?

**WhatThe** · April 22nd, 2009, 11:03 PM

What exactly was she going to accomplish by sending the turd home with the kid??? I am sure the parents would take her word for it that the kid had an accident. If it was supposed to be proof, well... how do they know it was HIS turd anyhow?!

So cruel! Her actions only served to rachet up the humiliation that poor child probably already felt. That is NOT the way to handle accidents.

**RaVen Blackehart** · April 22nd, 2009, 11:17 PM

Is that an upcoming lawsuit I smell? I sure hope so.

**OMalley** · April 22nd, 2009, 11:50 PM

OMG, I would go crazy if a teacher did that to my kid! I would be raising some SERIOUS hell and I wouldn't be waiting around a week to talk to someone about it, either. I'd be right in someone's office demanding an explanation and an apology. I'd bring my lawyer with me too - if I had one!

That teacher is a DUMBASS.

**pissedoffindaytona** · April 23rd, 2009, 12:02 AM

she needs someone to shit on her doorstep..

**Thinkgoat** · April 23rd, 2009, 11:26 AM

That teacher is sooooo lucky I'm not that parent. I don't retaliate, I escalate. I could see a nice platter of brownies coming her way. (no, I wouldn't use the poo - it'd be hard to resist) I would just misread the recipe and some Syrup of ipecac to the icing.

**penelopejo** · April 23rd, 2009, 11:29 AM

fucking shit.....stupid thanks button, i'm sorry to the one's i groaned in this thread. i'm just going to stop reading for a while...

but stash, i keep thinking the same thing.

Don't forget to set it on fire.

**SoUncool** · April 23rd, 2009, 11:32 AM

Okay, I probably would have been pissed off a bit....but doesn't ANYBODY else see this as a little funny? The story itself? The note? The teacher's probably tired of cleaning up shit. So she should have called the custodian. She won't get fired, reprimanded maybe. I bet she's got a great sense of humor.

**Morbid** · April 23rd, 2009, 11:42 AM

The note IS hilarious! I want to thank her for making my day brighter.

Oh, and had this happened to my kid, I would simply tell him to quit shitting on the floor.

**Dakota Valkyrie** · April 23rd, 2009, 11:49 AM

I find it funny as all get out. I would not be happy to be involved in any way, but since it's not me, it's funny. I seem to be a bitch that way today. Maybe I will recover by tomorrow...

I am surprised the woman didn't come to her senses by the end of the day.

Maybe the parents should have put the poo and the note in a zip-loc and handed it to the principal with a note that said "This little turd was placed in my little turd's backpack by a piece of shit teacher".

**sherrz** · April 23rd, 2009, 11:50 AM

WTF!!! Fucking bitch... The only thing my kindergarten teacher would send home with me were those shitty little fluoride tablets, had I decided not to take them. The only bitchy thing she really did was try to make me right handed.

Exactly. I would have hunt that bitch down and shoved it in her face!

And yes, she should be fired. He's five for Gods sake.

**Earth2Amanda** · April 23rd, 2009, 12:01 PM

Why couldn't she put it in a paper bag take it to the kids house herself, light it on fire, ring the door bell and run like a normal person would.

disgusting bitch

**FlightForm** · April 23rd, 2009, 05:16 PM

Something tells me this teacher doesn't value her employment very much. Seriously, if you can't deal with occasionally potty accidents, wiping runny noses, etc, don't teach kindergarten.
It's not like she didn't have a choice in the matter. Why'd she pick the little ones?

**Stella** · April 23rd, 2009, 05:45 PM

Wasn't the phone call to the dad enough? FlightForm's right, maybe she should move on up to the big kids and see if she can handle their shit.

{S}

**Marv** · April 23rd, 2009, 06:07 PM

WTF was the thinking? What reaction was she expecting from the parents? Some thanx for showing them actual physical evidence that their kid had an accident (even though the father had already said it was a possibility)?? Stupid woman!

The note was pretty funny, but I sure as hell wouldn't have thought so if it came home attached to a turd in my kids backpack! Dirty, wretched woman! Jump or be pushed!

GOD! I hope the kid isn't that fragile.

~Jason acknowledged the possibility, as his son had had a couple of accidents in the classroom in the past. He told Mrs. Graham there were extra clothes in his backpack.

After reading this one.... LITTLE SNIPPLET..
Sounds like this wasn't the first time, maybe the kid just shits his pants all the damn time, and The teacher.... snapped...
The parents need to invest in pull-ups....He ought to be potty trained at 5 yrs.old

**Zealant** · April 24th, 2009, 12:12 AM

Nice way to lead by example. With all the Ecoli outbreaks, you would think the teacher would have used just a touch more common sense. This should at the minimum be a written reprimand.

I can recall an afternoon my youngest came home from school upset. Apparently some individuals were in trouble in the cafeteria and the staff member in charge made everyone line the wall and sit on the carpet. My daughter and her friends were reluctant as some boys had pissed on the carpet. They were told to sit there anyway. I didn't wait for a response to that one, nope, we met in person right away with the principal. Students are not the only bullies in school.

Hehhh....that's funny.

**Radness Madness!** · April 26th, 2009, 09:40 PM

a couple of things i would like to do to her:
slap her really hard, tie her to a chair and grill her..verbally.
and put a bunch of dog shit on her front porch and use a shovel to just mash it into the ground. just Mash it thoroughly. smear a little on the door with the remains on the shovel.
