Steve Wedel from Oklahoma and a veteran teacher at Western Heights High School posted a letter to his blog addressed to his student's parents. His message to the parents is to love their children just as much as they love them. The letter has been viewed by thousands of people already.
Parenting reports that Mr. Wedel also blamed the incompetent lawmakers for cutting the funds as he struggled to educate the students. He appealed to the parents to vote for people who will aid the teachers to edify and nurture their children.
"I love my job. I love your kids. I call them my kids. I keep blankets in my room for when they're cold. I feed them peanut butter crackers, beef jerky or pop tarts when Michelle Obama's school breakfast or lunch isn't enough to fill their bellies," Steve said.
"I comfort them when they cry and I praise them when they do well and always I try to make them believe that they are somebody with unlimited potential no matter what they go home when they leave me," Wedel continued to explain. "Sometimes when they get sick at school they can't go home because you and person you're currently shacking up with are too stoned to figure out it's your phone ringing."
"Sometimes they go home to sleep on the neighbor's back porch because your boyfriend kicked them out of the house and his dog is too mean to let them sleep on their own back porch," Wedel added. "They go home to physical and verbal abuse. They go home looking for love and acceptance from the people who created them... and too often they don't get it."
The teacher was concerned about the welfare of his students. And he wanted to get the attention of parents to love and care their children. He is also struggling with the needs of the students.
Meanwhile, Daily Mail also reports the same situation when a teacher sent a note scolding the parents for packing an unhealthy lunch of chocolate, cracker, pickle and marshmallow. The parent who is a family doctor was outraged when he received the letter from a teacher at Kirksville Primary School.
The letter ended with a demand asking the parents to sign the letter, although they declined to do so.
