In today’s over-sensitive world, teachers are not allowed to say or write anything negative and have to be supportive always.

These are a few interesting letters from teachers to parents to get their point across:

Dear Parent,
We are pleased your child has one of the same qualities that Henry Ford, the founder of the Ford Motor Company, possessed. Like him, your son believes that history is best ignored. But it may be best to disabuse him of the notion that the 3 emperors of India were Amar, Akbar and Anthony.
Yours beseechingly,
Teacher

Dear Parent,
Your child submitted a blank paper for last week’s science test, influenced perhaps by Albert Camus who said ‘Whether the earth or the sun revolves around the other is a matter of profound indifference’. Your son shares that profound indifference, undoubtedly for philosophical reasons. But could you inform him that in order to make his mark on the global pantheon of great philosophers, he has to pass 6th grade first?
Yours plaintively,
Teacher

Dear Parent,
Your ward has obviously read Friedrich Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil, which is why he was copying from the boy next to him during yesterday’s test. Like Nietzsche, he believes that Supermen like him have little use for conventional notions of morality. The teacher who caught him copying is a conventional type who gave him a zero.
Yours desperately,
Teacher

Dear Parent,
We are impressed by your child’s knowledge of martial arts. In the past month, he has broken two legs, four arms and three noses. He also shows prudence while fighting, taking care to pick on boys 2 grades below him & much smaller than him. For some reason however, and possibly not valuing your son’s martial arts skills as much, the fathers of the boys who were beaten up are on their way to your home with hockey sticks.
Yours informatively,
Teacher

Dear Parent,
We are delighted to inform you that your child displays remarkable higher-plane-functioning. Not for him the simple-minded acts like homework. We applaud his admirable refusal to do homework. We have, however, humbly requested him to stoop to our lower-plane-functioning level and condescend to do his homework so that he may get passing grades, else he will need to remain in the same class and continue to demonstrate his higher-plane functioning to a new set of classmates next year.
Your support is appreciated.
Yours anxiously,
Teacher

Dear Parent,
Your child’s distaste for mundane subjects such as mathematics shows an imaginative mind and great tangential thinking ability. Why, he wonders, does the square of the hypotenuse have to be equal to the square of the other two sides in a right-angled triangle? It is no wonder that he has scored a splendid zero in his math exam. Unfortunately, even extremely creative geniuses with brilliant tangential thinking need to pass 7th grade.
Could you gently break that news to him?
Yours entreatingly,
Teacher
