At a parent-teacher conference in a Springfield, Massachusetts, elementary school, a teacher's first words to the mother of an 8 year old girl? "What are you doing here? I thought you were in prison!" It turns out that the little girl had told her teacher that her mother was in prison . . . . which was true . . . the child's mother works at a state prison . . . that is the mother's job . . . and the teacher's assumption put into words?
truth in labeling!
