Last night while I was posting my rampage about the secretary, I forgot to write about a student issue I wanted to put out there and get some feedback on.
There is this little girl in one of my classes who is a total butt kisser, but then she also causes the most amount of trouble. When we passed out the three week progress reports last week, I also gave the students a progress report for my class, so they could show their parents exactly why they are failing. For students with an "F", they needed to get it signed and return it to me.
So my little butt kisser completely avoided giving the progress report to her parents, then tells me she lost it when it was time for her to turn it in. My second step is to write a note home informing the parents of the low grade and attempt to get a signature that way. So I gave the note to this student, then went about my business in that class.
About 20 minutes later, another student approached me with pieces of paper that had been shredded and a larger pieced of notebook paper. The larger notebook paper said "Mrs. ******** is a BIG BITCH," and inside that folded up piece of paper were pieced of the note that I had written to her parents.
I fully realize that I'm being called a bitch. It's part of my job description (at least 25% of your students MUST call you names, it says it in my contract!!!), but I have never actually seen it on paper. It took me by surprise.
So what do I do?

Ignore it for now. Make sure her parents find out about her grades and try to act as if you never saw that note - which doesn't mean forgetting it, but trying to be fair in spite of what you read. She is a troublemaker, you'll probably have other reasons to be less than happy with her - so I think you could wait for those before you take stronger action!
I'd save any 'evidence' ... and I would mail a letter to the parents ... and if THAT fails I would call them.
You are now aware that she is using the 'butt kissing' as a way to get around people. I would let her know, in no uncertain terms, that you are aware of the note and the torn message ... and that she cannot pull the wool over your eyes. Try to do it in a non-accusatory way ... but it needs to be done. It will give her a chance to mend her ways.
If she doesn't change them, and with further evidence, you can then decide if a further call to her parents is needed or a talk with the principal.
Definitely hang onto the note. This won't be the last stunt she pulls and it would be best to have evidence for the future.
What will be a better one firewall I can download and use for free, that will come with my windows xp and won't slow it down? :(
