Francesca Esdon was horrified when she picked up her 5-year-old son Keeler from the Rocking Horse Daycare Center in Texas and discovered that in a letter she left in her lunchbox, the teacher wrote an ignorant answer.
The note Esdon left asked staff to remind Keeler that his mother loved him and was thinking of him with a smiley face. The professor wrote in thick black ink at the bottom: “No, put him on a diet and go!”
In an interview with ABC7 News, Esdon said she didn’t know what to do when she first read the note. She says she read it over and over, trying to figure out how the teacher might think of her being so distasteful towards one of her students’ parents.
The next morning, Esdon was in a meeting with the principal. I brought the note and alerted them to the teacher’s public Facebook profile, which contains references to drugs, alcohol, and other inappropriate content. The teacher confessed and was promptly fired, but Esdon said neither she nor the nursery school showed any real remorse for what happened.
“I am disgusted with trusting these people to take care of my child, and this is what I get in return,” Esdon wrote on his Facebook. She says she’ll put Kyler on a new, more expensive daycare, but she hopes it’ll be safer in the end.
