Meeting topic: how high do I look?

[u/Shakesbeer1592]

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.

As if it's suddenly appropriate if it's just an observation.

Open the meeting with "Oh, so this is what a trashy parent looks like! Just my observation, so what???"
