Charisse, I thought of those things. She's never once complained about her peers teasing her. Just the teachers telling her to stop.

I thought about the germ thing too, but it doesn't really bother me. She's going to pick up germs at school no matter what. And she really washes her hands a lot and uses sanitizer.

When I spoke to the teacher before, she seemed concerned for dental reasons. I told her that so far, our dentist has no problems with the thumb sucking. I'm really a bit peeved that I've spoken to the teacher once, and have seemingly been ignored. Also, DD says that the gym coach has actually pulled her thumb out of her mouth, which is totally unacceptable.

I have decided that this is my hill to die on, and I will raise a huge stink if I have to. The school certainly had no problems complaining loudly to me when my son didn't behave in exactly the way they thought he should.
