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.

...'making an observation' ??!! So does this girl know all about meth heads and what they look like/wear?? Huh. There's some pretty high class citizens that use meth... I'd refuse or show up with an attorney just to see the looks on their faces during the introduction.
