A mother who simply wanted to take her family to Disney World said the ordeal became a full-blown academic crisis involving her first-grade daughter. Olivia, a teacher herself, went viral for sharing the response she received from her daughter’s teacher about missing a few days of class. Olivia explained that the family was planning to take a trip to Disney World and that her daughter would be missing a few days of school. "Apparently, missing a few days of first grade is going to result in some serious academic consequences,” Olivia posted on social media.
If that wasn’t enough, the teacher that said she would be sending home a 37-page makeup packet for the child. The email quickly became a talking point, with some people finding the teacher’s response wildly over-the-top. “I’m 32 and never learned the life cycle of a pumpkin. Now I’m jobless and living on the streets,” joked one commenter. Another wrote: “Does this first-grader attend MIT or something????” There's been no word on whether Olivia addressed the note with the teacher.
