This mother smiled after opening the lunchbox of her son. She saw the note she left for him earlier that day, however, something made her do a doubletake. There was one more note in there, one that wiped the smile off her face.
After This Mother Saw A Note In Her Son’s Lunchbox, His Teacher Got Fired The Day After
She Always Tried Her Best
She definitely did not write this one. After reading what it said, she started to get angry. There was no way she was going to let something like this go unpunished, no way. Someone had to pay for this!
She Always Tried Her Best
Like Tug Of War
Francesca Easdon of Texas was a loving mother who was all too aware that it was not easy to raise a child. She had a son called Kyler, who recently developed rather extreme eating habits. It started with his refusal to eat any type of green veggies.

They Reached A Compromise
Not long after that, the list of what the young boy would eat kept getting smaller at an alarming rate. This made dinnertime at their home very difficult. This concerned mom could tell that his pickiness went too far after he started to pack on extra weight.

Trying To Encourage Him
The more she tried to force food on him, the more the little boy pushed back. Francesca knew that it was a losing battle for her if it went on like this. Every evening was an ordeal as she tried to goad Kyler into eating what was in front of him.

She Put Love Into His Lunch
She had tried to bribe him, but it did not work. It was time for her to try a new tactic. She did her research and tried to compromise with her stubborn little boy. She started to reintroduce more nutritious choices into his lunchbox little by little.

A Small And Sweet Favor
The concerned mother talked to Rocking Horse Kingwood, his daycare, about the concerns she had regarding his eating habits. It seemed like the staff understood the predicament. Well, they said that they did at the very least.

She Did Not Expect The Reply
It turned out that this was not the case. Francesca had no idea that it was going to backfire very badly. Every single day, Francesca wrote a small note of encouragement to Kyler and added it to his lunchbox.

Going From Despair To Fury
This was her attempt to soften the blow of losing his favorite treats from the typical lunch rotation. She would replace crisps and Twinkies with healthier food products like egg salad sandwiches and carrot fingers.

Time To Get Revenge

A Personal Attack On Him

She Did Her Homework
For that day, this loving mom went with a wholegrain ham sandwich, cherry tomatoes, and apple slices for his meal. She paused after realizing that it was the middle of the week. It would not hurt to give Kyler a little treat, right?

The Post Went Viral
After this, she wrote a sweet little note that served as the root of the problem. “Please tell Kyler that his mommy loves him so much and I’m thinking about him,” Francesca wrote on a piece of paper.

Are you ready to finally hear what that horrid teacher added to the note that she left for her son? “No! Put him on a diet and go away,” the educator scribbled in careless black sharpie all across the note.

The Refusal

Too Much

A user had this to say about the matter: “I cannot believe a teacher would write something like this. It is appalling! Your son does not even the slightest bit need to be ‘put on a diet.’ And even if he did, writing a note like that is immature, inappropriate, and just ignorant.”

Sympathy
A different user chimed in to say something very true, “I can not believe someone actually wrote this!! I am so sorry that you have gone through this. And I will certainly tell everyone I know about this experience.”

Hands-On
