Ker Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 This afternoon I received an email from Cooper's teacher. A behavioural report which said that he fell asleep in class and was watching football when he woke and refused to do his work. I was pissed. I sent him an SMS message. Me: you're in deep shit pal. Cooper: Why? Me: I got a behavioural report from your English teacher. For sleeping in class and watching football and refusing to do your work. WTF? Coop: that was not me. That was the other Cooper. Me: I'm calling the school and if you're lying, you're in even more trouble. I called the school, explained to the staff on the desk and she called the teacher. Office lady came back on the line laughing. Teacher apparently said "oh no! I put it on the wrong Cooper! He would never do that. He's a lovely boy". I also got an email from her apologising. So he's not in trouble now. But I still don't think she knows who my kid is. A lovely boy? 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Claus Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I was reading it thinking it doesn’t sound like your boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little lion Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 What a drama! Reminds me of the time the school office rang to say that Mr8 had injured himself. Then she paused and said, “oops actually it is another student by the same name”. Then another pause as she was corrected by Mr6 beside her who said “you got the right mum, but the wrong brother!” 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukes mummi Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) We have a surname that’s commonly also used as a first name. Eg robert. Before naplan, year 5 teacher calls me to discuss Robert’s special provisions for his disability. She calls me mrs Robert. But it doesn’t sound like my child. Then the penny hits- she has rung the wrong parent and I now know confidential information about another child in my son’s class Edited June 18, 2021 by Lukes mummi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prancer Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I would think she knows your kid and just pulled up the wrong Cooper when she went to email you. FWIW, I had a call from our bank manager the other day about some issues we are having with the bank. The bank manager had the same name as a family member. I had to send him some emails, and after I sent the first one, it saved it so I just hit the name and the emails went through. Well, so I thought, but somehow the family members name came up instead and I was only looking at the name, not the email address. So it may have been something similar and she just clicked on the wrong Cooper to get the contact details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabellaKagical Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I wouldn’t say having opinions would stop you from being lovely especially as he is male, opions seem to be more troublesome for females - don't let it ruin your humble brag though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
