➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

[Cyprus]

So, I had a very sh***y last night and today's school day started off very rough.
Last night, one of my teachers constructed an email to both of my parents and CC'd my guidance counselor and vice principal. About my grades.
I can understand emailing my parents but was including my guidance counselor and VICE PRINCIPAL really necessary?

This morning, in front of my class of concern, the teacher and vice principal discussed the email and situation of my grades. They didn't use my name but they quoted the email and I know they were talking about me because I read the email. They didn't make a loud scene or anything but it's not like the vice principal entering my classroom to talk to my teacher is very nonchalant. All of us were listening. Including me, who was seated closest to them.

After 8 hours of reflection, I am very hurt by their actions and quite frankly furious that they would discuss me like that so publically.

I'm not sure if I can or should do anything about it. I just wish that they had been more considerate.

Research "culling."

Well, her abdomen is swollen and she is sleeping in the nest box for the 3rd night. Fiddlesticks. 18 months old. These Leghorns are a short lived breed. I was hoping for 2 summers.

Kiki - are you putting lights on the quail to keep them laying all winter? December 22nd is the shortest day of the year. I'm thinking quail eggs in mid January for a spring batch and set eggs all summer. But if you don't add light, I'll have to wait.

I figure I only need 12 pens for my plans.
Time for a new plan, Stan.
You don't need to be coy, Roy.

I've never lost a single Leghorn and my oldest Leghorns are approaching three years

public shaming
shame meant to motivate you so it doesn't happen again...
way back in the day they would read names of underachievers over the intercom... I guess they thought shame and peer pressure would cause a change in behavior.

They also read overachievers and that motivated one to do worse so you didn't get picked on.. kinda backfired.

Very sorry that happened

Sounds very unprofessional. Should have discussed it before or after class or in a private meeting with you and your parents and all of them

Sounds more like just either unprofessional and/or fit in the discussion whenever they had the time rather than intentional since they didn't really say it loud enough for them to hear

I agree it was unprofessional. Unfortunately, I prefer to avoid conflict at all costs so I just left and did my best to avoid both of them for the rest of the day.

I got the stupid assignment turned in. Now I'm too upset and embarrassed to tell him that I finished it, which is apparently what I'm supposed to be doing even though that wasn't communicated to me (overhead from my parents discussing the email).

Honestly, I feel like the adults are talking about me behind my back but just expecting me to know what they want me to do without telling me anything. Like some stupid scavenger hunt that I didn't want to be a part of. I'm just ranting now, sorry. You guys are literally the only people in my life who even so much as give me the time of day.

And, I'd talk to my guidance counselor about it but, ya know, my GC is in on this mess now too and God knows he isn't going to believe anything coming from my mouth.

Usually there's a pattern of this. ..so the GC may have others and be able to help. They may have sent emails to several people too
