One of Lil'Monkey's teachers did this today.

Sent out the Bill Gates will give you money one.

First off, the school has policies on this. The email was loaded with all the emails of the all the people who had sent this FW. Hundreds.

I emailed the teacher to take me off of her parent contact list and all FW's.

I also notified the principal. Wasn't trying to be tattle tail, but that teacher gave out parents email addy's to all on her personal list. When I gave her my addy, I knew, as do all the parents, that we would get FW emails regarding class stuff, not spam.

You did the right thing. If your tone was harsh, that's one thing, but not the message you needed to get across. I've apologized for the tone, but whenmy message is spot on, no.
