Elementary school teacher tells kids there's no Santa Claus ( NY )

Even the Grinch would not be this mean.

A sourpuss teacher in Rockland County ruined Christmas for a class full of second-graders this week, when she told them that there is no Santa Claus during a lesson about the North Pole.

The evil educator even told the youngsters - mostly 7- and 8-year-olds - that the presents under their trees were put out by their parents, and not St. Nick.

The stunning Scrooge-like behavior has caused a blizzard of outrage at the quiet George W. Miller Elementary School in Nanuet, where angry parents would like to see the teacher roasted like a chestnut over an open fire.

...

school officials would not discuss the Christmas incident or say if the teacher would face any discipline

If, as a parent, you are lucky enough to have your child not admit that they know, it is NOT the responsibility of the teacher to purposely spoil the mystery. Children are being stripped of their innocence at such an early age these days. Don’t go and spoil it. I recall “finding” my presents at approximately that age. Trying to act surprised was impossible and I was so mortified.

Well, no more Christmas crafts or cards with cotton balls to Mom. No more Christmas parties Santa hat cupcakes. Ba hum bug, guess that's also the end of leprechaun pinches and Easter egg hunts.

I assume you mean the Holy Ghost and would ask you to explain the theology explaining what it represents for us all since you are so learned.

[Chode]

and at what age did you tell your children.... or don't you have any???

Hate to break this to you, but there are millions of Mormons that wear Temple garments and over 1 billion Roman Catholics who subscribe to the Holly Trinity.

Okay, fine, tell the truth about Santa Claus if you must. But make sure you also tell the truth about labor unions too. The myth of the benevolent labor union is a lie propagated by unionized teachers for generations now, and is far more insidious in my view.

There have certainly been many of those lately.

The great thing is that I did not have to tell them anything. They figured it out by themselves by the age of 6.... One of my daughter is in second grade. The only kids in her class that still believe in Santa are the slow ones....

[Larry Lucido]

I had my suspicions at that age. And my dad sought to confirm them, saying “Santa wouldn’t even be able to get to every house in Lansing in one night!”

To which I replied, “Doesn’t bother me, long as he starts at the south end of town!”
