perhaps this is wrong of me, and perhaps a little more insight is needed than what the article offered, but the cynic in me probably would have done the same thing if a 5 year old decided to drop a deuce on the floor of my classroom. There should just be some things that you should not have to encounter as a teacher.

I would to, but that is why I'm not a teacher.

That's just not right IMHO; even if the kid did take a crap on the floor. She should have just called his parents.

I thought the same thing too. It's probably a good thing I'm not a teacher. There are a lot of things I might do that would be deemed inappropriate by today's standards.

Exactly. The article mentioned that she was a longtime teacher. I don't know if they do this everywhere, but usually the elementary lower level (kinder through second, I think) teachers in the district I live in get rotated between grades every few years. I'm pretty sure it's to keep them from going insane.

However, everyone knows that little kids have accidents. If you have a huge issue with that, I would not recommend going into a career field involving spending tons of time with young children. It seems like a bad idea to me.

Putting a child's feces in a bag and sending it home with them is not an appropriate thing to do, and the language in the note was ridiculously childish, as well. Usually when an accident or something like that happens, teachers call a custodian. At least here they do.

I laughed. I would not have done it however I can understand her frustration.

Doesn't sound too much like an "accident". I can see it being an accident if it was in his pants or something, because it happens to all kids. But a 5-year old should know better than drop his pants and take a crap on the classroom floor. That's just misbehavior pure and simple.

The parents need to teach their kid better manners. Perhaps the teacher wanted to make it a point. I personally think what the teacher did was pretty funny, but she probably should have just called them and chewed them out for it.
