We are certainly NOT looking for money. We let it go, FYI the
teacher apologized to the head teacher and the admin and promised
to meet with us and personally apologized and will send a letter of
apology. It's been a week since it happened. We never got an
apology nor a letter. Read all the information before YOU judge

considerate and not too judge people without considering all the
facts. Read the rest of the facts - maybe it will enlighten you a
little.
