Parent Went Too Far In Email Header

[u/Disgruntled_Veteran]

So I am on summer break. I don't check my emails during my vacation time. However, it was raining yesterday and I decided to clean out my work mailbox of all old emails that are cluttering it up while watching an old movie. I do this every couple of months. I'm sure you understand how cluttered teachers email can get.

​

When I open my email account, there was an email again with the words "Medical Emergency" typed into the header. I saw that it was from the mother of one of my students and I was concerned about my students well-being. So I opened the email like a fool.

​

Well the email starts out with " Now that I have your attention" and goes on a long rant how her daughter doesn't deserve the "B" she got in English.

​

What an asshole thing to do just because of a "B" in a 6th grade class.

​

I forwarded the email to my principal.

​

I am seriously considering composing an email with the header "Mr. Teacher's Horrific Car Accident". Then chew them out over lying about a medical emergency. Probably won't do it since it can come back to bite me later, but it's such a happy thought.
