just have your daughter rip on her a bit if she is comfortable doing so. If the teacher throws a fit about it then maybe get someone else higher involved, but it sounds like just good nature ribbing.
Found out my daughter's 5th grade teacher played the Iowa fight song in class
- Thread starter isuno1fan
- Start date
5th Grade and you considered going to the principal for this???? Your daughter got in the car and asked if she was going to be sad on Monday because the teacher gave some good spirited ribbing about an upcoming football game and she is in 5th grade???
I'd suggest that at this point in her life if she's concerned about being sad on Monday because of some football smack talk you have sheltered her for far to long by taking harmless things like this to the principal and not letting her experience real world situations such as interacting with fans of other teams.
You do realize your daughter will be sitting in a sex ed class later this year right? I can't imagine how she'll be able to handle that if she can't handle something as harmless as a fight song and the weakest 'smack' talk imaginable.
Do your little girl a favor and let her start learning to handle her own battles before she grows up and has no idea how to function on her own when everything doesn't line up perfectly with her world view.

When my daughter was in 7th grade, the teacher opened it up to ISU-Iowa jokes for the kids one day. This was 4-5 years ago when the Hawks were having so many legal problems. Teacher was pro-ISU but most students were not.
One kid said something like "Cyclones don't know what the end zone looks like" to which my daughter replied "at least they don't know what the inside of a jail cell looks like". Teacher high-fived her.
SO PROUD!

You print this off and ask you little girl to hand it to the teacher and say "My mom asked that I give this to you."
Have your daughter come to class with a football in her hands and tell her teacher that Jake Knott said to give ya this.
Send her with a box of kleenex. She can tell the teacher. "I bought these Friday night, after what you told me about being sad on Monday. Since I'm pretty happy right now, I figure you might need these."
LOL...just sick of the Tavernhawk smacktalk crap. It's more about PO'ing a Tavernhawk than it is protecting my daughter. Luckily the teacher appears to be a good person overall.
The thought that you even thought about getting principle involved tells me everything I need to know. In H.S. 20 years ago we talked smack with the teachers about rivalries in all sports not just ISU/Iowa. It's was just ok & I don't ever remember a teacher getting reprimanded for it. People need to learn to thicken the skins up a little bit, life's tough, it's really tough for the thin skinned whine bags that want everything handed to them.
I like that. It has a bit of a bite to it, yet it is still good-natured and light-hearted.
meh, that is nothing. I had a big Nebraska fan as a teacher in school. She made bets on pop for the Iowa State-Nebraska games. I bet twice and ISU went 1-1 in that time frame. She also made similar jokes about ISU.
It reminds me of a picture I got in the mail a couple years ago. It was a class of students taking a picture. All were Cyclones fans besides one and there was a funny caption about the single Iowa fan.

Take the high road. Have your daughter bring her a treat to cheer her up "because she was worried about teacher being sad". Better yet, bring a cake or cookies for the whole class so all of the little hawkeyes can be cheered up.
:yes:
:yes:
I'm much more concerned about teachers who blatantly attempt to indoctrinate children to their political beliefs than anything like this. We've had a few of those.
Its just some fun with the rivalry.
I remember having a big hawk fan teacher and going back and forth on the rivalry all year through football and basketball season. One of the teachers i really liked, because it was all in fun.
