i stepped it up a notch in the motherhood department today :)
an email i had to send to jagger's preschool:
Alma informed me of jagger's big buddy's outfit today upon pickup. I guess it was a baggy sleeveless shirt w some lady in a bikini taking up the whole front. So not only was Jagger looking at an inappropriate image, he was also able to see the boy's chest through the gaping sleeve holes. He also had ripped jeans the entire length of his pants. I understand the freedom to wear what you like, etc at school but we are not okay with this in a preschool classroom. Especially because it's sending a message to Jagger that these things are ok, when we don't think they are. We think this is inappropriate and would appreciate it if you could talk w your students or at least Jagger's big buddies to make sure this doesn't happen again.
Thank you. Jagger tells us he really enjoys preschool. And we do too :)

*i am happy to report that we already received an email back and the teacher profusely apologized and said she'd take care of it. i know he can't be sheltered forever, but i want him to know what's okay and what's not, and that we can stand up for the good and right...always.

Good for you. I had a similar thing happen recently at the park. There was a ton of new "graffiti" at a park we visit frequently. Obnoxious teenagers thought it would be funny to write cuss words and draw private parts on the slides etc... We have all seen it and try to ignore it the best we can, which is fine until your kid is sounding the words out. Who new my child's first profanity would taught to him by a slide. I agree, I just want to shelter them as long as possible. It is scary out there:)
Sorry Nicole, it is Mary Stuart not CLS. Apparently I am signed in as my husband:)
GO nicole! way to have the guts to stand up for whats right! Especially for your sweet little boy! He will learn from this strong action, that he too needs to stand up for whats right, as you tell the story in later years! Thanks for being a great example to us moms!
