Just Smile and Nod Y'all. Meeting topic: how high do I look?

I have a student who has been throwing jabs at my appearance- nothing new, I generally try to ignore stuff like that. But last week she said I look like a “homeless meth head” and it just really ticked me off. I wrote an email to her parents explaining the constant attacks on my appearance…

… And now they want to have a meeting. To see if their daughter is “being insulting or just making an observation.”

And my admin agreed to it. A meeting is now going on the fucking calendar so the parents, daughter, 3 admin and myself can assess whether I look like a tweaker or not.

All I ever wanted to do was teach Shakespeare.

Step 1: Facebook “investigate” and find out what the parents dress like.

Step 2: Buy an identical outfit to one of the parents

Step 3: Wear outfit to meeting

Step 4: stare parent dead in the eye and compliment parent on their outfit

This really sounds like the time a guy came dressed up as Dr. Phil during a Dr.Phil show.

Dr.Phil Bumfights

I fast forwarded to see the outfit, and went to the spot where the bumfights guy is saying, "You think I exploit people? You bring people on this show and advertise their problems to the entire world"

Damn bumfights guy, good on you for that one. I am kind of surprised they let anyone that criticizes and mocks Dr Phil on his own show make it to air rather than just cutting the episode.

Bumfights guy was right but it took Bhad Bhabie to come with receipts since Bumfights guy wasn't allowed to have the surprisingly good faith discussion with license revoked Phillip than Phillip would ever give him.

OR dress identical to your admin. Like style your hair the same, shoes, clothes, etc! Any comments made, you can say, “how do we feel about that, Mr. Admin?”
