In Yakima, Washington, a teacher failed to use her better common senses and education when she decided to send a bag a feces home in a student's backpack. Sue Graham packaged feces (a turd) and sent it home in a kindergarten student's backpack with the following note: "This little turd was found on the floor in my room." In my opinion, this showed very poor judgment and also showed immaturity on the part of the teacher. Incidents involving feces do happen in kindergarten classrooms from time to time. These bathroom and toilet incidents can be very sensitive topics that should be handled with understanding for the children. If there was some misbehavior involved in this incident, it still should have been handled in a much different fashion. Ms. Graham was reprimanded by the school district for her actions.
