Would you be okay if your child brought home this note from school?

Cary Reed, the father of a 7-year-old student, is raising concerns about the notes a 4th grade teacher passed to his daughter. His daughter was new to the school and had not really made many friends,  so she sat alone at recess.

Adrianna attached a GoPro to herself to share her first day of school with all of us and the video is adorable. The first tentative steps up onto that school bus, making her first friend, meeting her teachers; everything is so new. It’s so scary, yet exciting.




I’m a little annoyed though, I never got greeted … Keep Reading!!!

“Your Health Today” is an educational book which was a sex-ed publication given to 9th graders in Fremont, California, and voted in as part of their curriculum by the school board.

But parents are saying it’s too sexy. (Watch out 50 Shades of Grey…it looks like you have some competition.)

Some of the complaints:

7-Year-Old Girl Sent Home From School for Having Dreadlocks

Do you remember the 5-year-old that was suspended from school for having a mohawk? A similar situation is happening to another family in the US.

An Oklahoma father was told repeatedly by school officials of his 7-year-old daughter, Tiana’s charter school, that he would have to change her hair style because dreadlocks are seen as “unacceptable” and “distracting”.

Tiana’s father, Terrance Parker, happens to be a barber and took offense to the accusations of his child not looking presentable for … Keep Reading!!!
