No that was it. My mom was saying that I shouldn't reply to the email I got about my freshmen cheerleaders because my comments could "get back" to work and I could get in trouble. I then argued that the school would have no right to reprimand me because I used my personal email account at home. She argued that "you are still representing the school and you are still a teacher". I was like "are you kidding me". I may be a teacher but I'm still allowed to be a person and have the same rights as everyone else.

The thing was all I wanted to stress was the consistency. Unfortunately we live in a very materialistic society, but when my freshmen cheerleaders see that the varsity girls are getting like 30 bucks worth of really nice stuff in their goodie bags and they got tissues and a small can of hair spray, there is something wrong there. I understand that varsity is "varsity", but there is already division amongst the squads (which is understandable) and girls get easily jealous (especially at their ages). That is all I wanted to stress in my email that we should treat the squads the same when it came to goodie bags. I just feel that guidelines should be imposed, since the parents do purchase the items, of what can and cannot be bought as to make it consistent.

In reality it was a stupid arguement but I find it kind of offensive that my own mother was basically saying "well as an adminstrator" (we are both in the ed. leadership program). That is where our disagreement took off.
