He teaches 8th grade. My god.

So I just explained some critical world history to my 10 y/o son. I mentioned how Netanyahu was compared to Hitler by Erdogan to illustrate a contemporary issue.

Now my son is sweet, bright, and absolutely not a nazi. But he looked at me and innocently says "I thought Hitler was a good guy." I fervorishly explain that is incorrect and his face drops...

"Ummm... I just remembered... My teacher was going around my class asking who our heroes were... I told her Hitler then she stopped talking to me."

We have been dealing with this (1st year) teacher being a little bit more of a social worker than we liked and my old lady and I took some umbrage with her sudden focus on him over the last two weeks. He can be a little rowdy, so we assumed this was due to that. I ask him: 'how long ago was that?'

"About two weeks ago."

I guess I have a meeting to schedule.
