"Oh yeah, my kids know that the second that they stop believing in Santa, they no longer get gifts. However, I will say that when it comes to the big ticket items, we put 'Mom and Dad' on the tag. Cuz let's face it, there's no way I'm going to let the big guy in the red suit take the credit for Nintendo DSes and laptops."The kids all had a good laugh, and we moved on.
Then this afternoon, I received a phone call after school from my vice principal. He regretfully informed me that a parent had called, complaining to him and feeling incredibly upset because I had told her son that Santa wasn't real.
Um...huh?? I have a couple of problems with this. First of all, it's not like I walked into the classroom and said "Okay, everyone take out your notebooks and number your papers one through ten. And, oh yeah, Santa's not real." I'm not much in the way of shattering students' hopes and dreams--I mean, really, there's generally only three or four days out of the month that I actually derive some kind of sadistic pleasure out of trampling spirits and squelching dreams, and this was not one of those days.
But secondly, and most importantly, I teach seventh grade! Twelve and thirteen year olds! So even if I did perform said atrocities above, who cares?! Why on earth is your almost-teen son still believing in Santa? Is my next principal phone call going to be because I take his binkie away in class and make him stand to use the potty?
Seriously.
All I have to say about that is Wow. I found out that Santa wasn't real when I was about 8 years old. Who lets their 12 year old believe in Santa. Don't those kids watch TV? Totally shaking my head!
ReplyDeleteYeah, that one was a mind-bender for me, too. I'm still shaking my head.
