Well, that's it for her, I suppose.

1. Good for her for telling the truth!

Although I don't think it was her place to do that.

They would've been upset no matter who told them the truth.

2. It's England - they're a bit more forgiving

:shrug:

5. Over here they'd be dusting off the pillory

9. Over here they'd be dusting off the gallows

:scared:

3. Wait... what?

Santa isn't real?

... but... then how do the presents get under the tree?!?

[Deja Q]

4. Did she slap the wrists of any resulting obstreperous student with a ruler?

[Starry Messenger]

6. Well, we know who isn't getting any gifts this year from students.

Seven is when I found out, too. But it was my mom who told me. I kicked her in the ankle. It's been a family legend for years.

I'm glad I teach older students!

7. What a shitty thing to do.

I really hate people like that.

8. What?!?!?!?

Santa isn't real?? Since when, now I suppose people will be telling me that my hero Superman isn't real....

10. Any teacher, sub or not, worth her/his salt knows that kids get rowdy around this time.

She did it in malicious and deserves to get sacked for hurting those kids emotionally!

[redqueen]

11. No kidding... talk about putting your own needs first.

It was a selfish, malicious act.

Disgusting.

12. He ISN'T????????11!!!

:cry:

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. What a lousy thing to do!

[nomorenomore08]

14. A lump of coal for that one, says I...

Yeah, totally unnecessary and kind of cruel.

[SeattleGirl]

15. That teacher definitely gets an "F" from me.

And a "Fuck you" too.

Sheesh, it's not up to her to disabuse children of the notion of Santa, especially when they are still pretty young.

I hope she doesn't even get a lump of coal in her stocking this year.

16. I'm not much older than my nephews and nieces, and when I was a kid I told them that Santa had

died of stomach cancer. I also told them that the Easter Bunny had been hit by a car and exploded like a big, white pillow and reminded them that there is no god. I am a good uncle.

[SeattleGirl]

17. You are twisted, is what you are.

:spray:

[IntravenousDemilo]

19. Strangely enough, though, they turned out OK. n/m

[LeftyMom]

18. Uh, okay.

Shouldn't seven year olds have figured that out?

[ThomCat]

20. Didn't they have any non-christian classmates to tell them this?

By 7 years old their peers should have already clued them in already. :shrug:
