I work at an elementary school and heard a student call someone something really mean while in my class...

At first I was like, " no, I didn't hear that".

I asked " what did you say?"
And a kid verified what I heard.

I was soo upset.
I will not tolerate name-calling, and RACIAL name-calling makes it 10 times worse.

The poor kid (that was being talked about) looks sad alot, and isn't always wearing the cleanest clothes, but that doesn't give the right to talk about people.

When I asked the student to apologize, they walked off and threw things off the shelf in my room.

This isn't the first time kid has done that so I called mom.

I told the other kids I won't tolerate bullying and that I'd call their moms too if I hear anything like that coming out their mouths.

It was quiet as a mouse 🐁

Call Mom, send him to the office, whatever it takes. One of my wife's great moves when she was teaching was to call Grandmom -- THAT scared a lot of the kids 'cause Grandmom had no compunction about walking into the school and slapping the kid upside the head while telling him to stop screwing up.

@ChipmunkErnie oh I most certainly did. Got the assistant principal and called his mom.
I agree with grandma, some kids aren't scared of mom

@iamnikki My wife had kids tell her, "You can't call my parents, they're at work." So my wife would pick up the phone in the room, consult her records, and call the work number -- Dad was rarely happy about being called out a a meeting because his kid was misbehaving in school.

@ChipmunkErnie oh I bet he wasn't happy. Some of these kids are ridiculous. Some are great though
