Mom Refuses to Let Child Be Taught by Fat Teacher

A satirical look at current events!

Mom Refuses to Let Child Be Taught by Fat Teacher: British journalist Hilary Freeman wrote an article about her search for a nursery school for her daughter, but when the school hooked her up with an overweight caretaker, she knew the school wasn’t for her and opted to send her daughter to a school where “the staff are all a healthy weight.”

Good grief, wonder what she teaches the child about that fat guy named Santa? “Lay off the candy canes old man!” But geez, with a mom like that, the poor kid has to be an eating disorder just waiting to happen. I think she really needs to take a long look in the mirror before she starts pointing out other people’s imperfections. On the other hand, maybe she did - and the mirror broke. Besides, I’m not so sure it’s such a good idea to be all head-strong about being thin. I mean hell - aren’t most meth addicts thin?

But she may have a point. Everyone knows that children who are taught by skinny teachers are so much smarter - I think the cutoff is about a size 8. And while it’s certainly her right to choose any teacher she wishes - if I were a child, I think I’d rather have a "fat" teacher than an ignoramus for a mother - but that’s just me.
