I know what people mean about pick your battles. HOWEVER, this is a teacher and I find that comment from him
outragous
. What in the world. Even if he feels that way , he should keep his mouth shut or choose different wording or something..... People in these type of positions need to be able to control themselves in a professional manner !!! I would so report that and if I was a parent of a child that was said to, me and the teacher would be having a meeting
