A student called me fat today!
I was subbing for an ESL teacher, and I walk in the classroom to get one of the kids and he goes "wow your very fat". I couldn't believe my ears. I said that's not nice and sent him in a "timeout" for 10 minutes. I was embarassed, so I didn't tell his teacher. Has anything like this ever happened to you? God, children are too honest. Going to the gym now after work....

Re: A student called me fat today!
We were just talking about that with friends last night, because their kid said it to someone in a store.
Oh I would have told his teacher, so she can address it too.
Yes, kids are honest, but it's not exceptable when it's rude and inapropriate and they should learn that.

Re: A student called me fat today!
Ugh - that sux - kids are brutally honest!
As someone else said, I would absolutely tell the teacher. I don't know how old this child is, but that doesn't give someone the excuse to make inappropriate, rude, and hurtful comments to others. It could even possibly be a cultural thing, if this kid is from another country, so I definitely think the teacher should be told so she can address acceptable behavior.

I think the teacher heard him say it, I was in her classroom. I probably won't be back in that school, as I got a new and better job, but still it was annoying.

Re: A student called me fat today!
sorry
to be fair, it was an ESL student, maybe he wasnt aware of the language that he used. i would address it to the main teacher. I teach ESL and when i taught body descriptions i always teach what is nice and what isnt nice to say to students. with any topic, i always correct them if they say something awkward or rude.

He was an LD student not an ESL student. I guess she does both. He just seemed like a wild kid. oh well.

Re: A student called me fat today!
Kids are brutal! Whenever I have a pimple, a chalk stain on my butt, a stain on my shirt from lunch that I must have missed, etc... they love to point it out. Try not to take it personally.
