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

Another reason to home school
You’ve got that right. The teacher should stick with the program and shut her damn mouth about everything else.
Maybe the Grinch is causing the multiple posts?? Actually, on a day when there are so many 503 errors...it’s to be expected...sheesh.
So...when a doctor tells a sick child they are going to die in 3 months....you will be A-OK with that!???
I forgive you. Merry Christmas!
................Nanuet is a muzzie enclave north of NYC.
Probably this bitch has on her headgear!.................
Actually, I am totally wrong. Sorry.
Upon reflection, Nanuet is not a muzzie enclave, it appears to be a dominant Orthodox Jewish community.
Still, the practice of Christmas in Nanuet may be a minority holiday.
My apologies!
I tell my mother that her dinner tasted great, even though it was bland and tasteless.
I tell my grandsons that they are the smartest kids on earth. What a whopper that is!
I tell my husband that his snoring doesn't bother me (NOT TRUE).
I laugh at jokes that are not funny, act interested when I'm not and make compliments that I don't really believe.
I thought I was being nice, not a sinner.

Children are perfectly able to have a healthy imagination and sense of wonder even if they know “Santa Claus” does not exist.
“He’s not real, but it’s fun to pretend.” is a perfectly acceptable explanation for young children. When they are older, they can be told about Saint Nicholas.
By the age of six or seven, most of them have heard from siblings (or other children at school) that he doesn’t exist.
This is one of the minor homeschool threads, but what business does the teacher have talking about this at all?
