Teachers are some of the most influential people of all times because not only do they impart knowledge to their students, but they build lasting relationships with them. The definition of teaching is not limited to giving information to broaden one's knowledge but also to aid in helping one to understand the underlying aspects of life. As this mom looked in her son's lunchbox, she smiled as she re-read the note she added in the morning on his way to school. However, before long, that smile was completely wiped away when she came across that one note she didn't add herself.
The Note Left In A Childs Lunch Kit Got The Teacher Fired
Performing Her Mommy Duties
As she read, she realized she didn't write that note, and it made her upset. She was sure there was no way she would let someone get away with that note, and she was determined to hold someone responsible for it.

A Battle With Eating
Francesca Easdon is from Texas and is aware it is not the easiest feat to raise a child. In recent times, her son Kyler developed a rare eating habit that saw him rejecting all types of green veggies, no matter how hard she tried.
A Battle With Eating
An Agreement
As time went by, Easdon realized her son's list of foods started to get smaller, and it was doing so at a shocking rate. This new reality made life difficult for the family, especially when it was dinnertime. However, Easdon became super concerned after she realized Kyler started chunking on some extra pounds.
An Agreement
Gave Him Encouragements
As mom tried to push selective foods on him, she realized his drawbacks were becoming heavier too. She knew if she continued on this path, it would be a losing battle for her. It was a struggle evening after evening as she tried to get Kyler to eat what she prepared for him.
Gave Him Encouragements
A Little Extra Love
Easdon went as far as to bribe her son, but that turned out to be a failed attempt. She was now at the stage where she believed trying new measures were the only option. The concerned mom took to researching, which led her to start a mission of adding nutritious foods to his lunchbox little by little until he would eventually come around.
A Little Extra Love
A Small Favor
Rocking Horse Kingwood was the daycare Kyler's mom sent him each day, and she noted the concerns she had about his eating habit. The staff understood her plight...well, at least they said they did.
A Small Favor
The Dreaded Reply
However, before long, she realized the daycare didn't seem to understand at all. Each day, Francesca would add a sweet little note to Kyler's lunchbox, but little did she know it would come back to "slap her in the face."
The Dreaded Reply
From Desperation to Fury
Francesca was simply trying to replace Kyler's unhealthy choices bit by bit so it wouldn't come as a total shock when they are completely gone. She started replacing his crisps and twinkies with healthy choices like egg sandwich and veggies (carrot finger.)
From Desperation To Fury
Revenge Time
After a long haul, Kyler started to make positive changes, and his mom loved the progress. But, one teacher decided she had to spoil the positive outcome with rude behavior and made her efforts look weak.
Revenge Time
Attacking Her Son
Francesca ensured she prepared his lunch every night and made an effort to let his lunchbox have a colorful feel. This would give him the enthusiasm in wanting to eat it.
Attacking Her Son
Playing Out Her Research
As she prepared his lunch on this fateful day, she made him a whole grain ham sandwich, cherry tomatoes, and a few slices of apple. After packing, she had a little fun moment when she thought she would treat him to a little "snack" since it was mid-week. Nothing seems to be wrong with that if you ask us.
Playing Out Her Research
Going Viral
After packing up, she pulled a paper from her notepad and added the words, "Please tell Kyler that his mommy loves him so much, and I'm thinking about him." It turned out this note was going to be the "root of disaster," of which Francesca had no idea.
Going Viral
Inappropriate Response
As anyone would have thought, the teacher would read the quote aloud during their lunch break, and we don't see where this is an odd request from a parent. But, this mommy who just wanted to show her son a little extra love didn't know it would stir up the worst in the teacher.
Inappropriate Response
Keeping Her followers Updated
Returning home, Francesca noticed Kyler was not on the talkative side, but she pushed it aside, thinking it was nothing major that could be the cause. She had no idea her sweet note was the main reason why her baby was not in the mood to be cheerful.
Keeping Her Followers Updated
No Compassion
Reaching for the lunchbox to empty and clean it, Francesca came across the note that would change her attitude towards the daycare forever. The accusation made by the teacher was a little too harsh for her liking. After reading the note a few times, she could still not believe what she was seeing. It threw all her efforts at being a good mom down the drain.
No Compassion
Summarizing the Situation
What were they trying to say? Francesca read the note a couple more times to ensure she was getting a full understanding of what they were saying. As she stood there, reality hit her as to what the teacher was trying to say. It pushed her into an instant mode of emotional distress as she felt sudden humiliation, shame, and pain.
Summarizing The Situation
Becoming Furious
As she was trying to compose herself, she became angry instantly, and she knew she had to do something about it and so made her plans. It was evident this teacher didn't love her job and needed to be sacked, so Francesca had to come up with the perfect plan.
Becoming Furious
Outraged
Easdon took a photo of the note and added it to her Facebook page. Within a short period, it started to draw a lot of attention. Parents and non-parents from the community and right across the globe were angry at the teacher for the quote she added to Kyler's lunchbox. [scname="top-ad"]
Outraged
A Trying Mom
The anger from those who saw the post was directed at Rocking Horse Kingwood Elementary School. The backlash the school received had us wondering if they would ever be able to recover from the trauma this one teacher caused them. The angry mom knew she had to make them feel the anger and pain she experienced.
A Trying Mom
Here It Is
So, are you wondering what this teacher wrote that made everyone so upset at them? The note Francesca left for the teacher to read to her son was defaced with the words, "No! Put him on a diet and go away". It was scribbled all over the note.
Here It Is
Blunt Refusal
It was a simple note, but the refusal not only hurt in a simple sense, but it was a personal attack on the child. Francesca is the kind who always mind her business and is generally mild-tempered.
Blunt Refusal
It Was Too Much
It was too much, and it led Francesca to do a little investigation as to what was the cause of the note. She searched on Facebook of the harsh teacher, and the profile came up public...a bonus for Francesca.
It Was Too Much
Digging Deeper
She was hoping to get a little detail about the employee to use to her advantage, but instead, she found solace and something that would be her weapon of "mass destruction" for the teacher. The teacher's feed had a lot of negative comments going about her.

Body Shaming
It was a case of body shaming, and a lot of the responses agreed to it. But what made matters as heavy as it was is the fact that the child was only five years old. So, what did Francesca find in her digging?

Shocking Discovery
As Francesca scoped the teacher's account, she noticed a few posts relating to substance use and abuse. It drove Francesca further into an angry mood as she got to understand a lot more about the teacher and her true character.

Discovering those details led Francesca to call for an urgent meeting with the daycare director. She was not about to let the rude teacher get away with her actions, and she even wondered whether the school would take her side or not.
Meeting
No Remorse From the Director
Francesca took to her Facebook page to update her followers about the meeting with the director and noted an investigation would be launched. However, she noted the director showed no level of remorse towards her complaints.

Teacher's Facebook Page
Francesca also indicated she highlighted the fact that the teacher had a lot of quotes about drug use splashed all over her Facebook page. They were, for sure, some inappropriate content.

Confession
While at work, Francesca noted the teacher confessed about her actions and was fired. But as for the other situations at hand, nothing was done about it and once again...no remorse.
Confession
Utter Disgust
Francesca, in a post to her social media page, noted how disgusted she was about the whole thing and the trust she put in the caregivers to look after her child. She updated them that she has removed him from that center and has enrolled him in another daycare.
Utter Disgust
Confusion
A lot of people were not clear about what was causing the whole issue. So, Francesca made a detailed post that highlighted what led to the situation. She also noted, "We have been working with Kyler on his eating; he's extremely picky!"
Confusion
A Good Child
Introducing new and healthier options in Kyler's lunchbox is the way forward for Francesca, and she noted she updated his new school on what was going on. But that aside, Francesca believes her son is perfect, and she is just trying to help him to make healthier food choices.
A Good Child
Show Support
Francesca is in complete shock at the school's response, as she thought they would have been more supportive. She sent the note believing it would give him a little smile during his lunch but instead was slapped in the face by one of his teachers.
Show Support
Shocked
Any parent would inevitably be shocked about the whole thing, and it led Francesca to reach out to the school. We are sure all parents would do the same. Everyone was relieved at the news that the teacher was sacked, but some still had a few lingering questions and concerns.
Shocked
Supporting Responses
After her post went viral, a lot of users started putting in their response to the matter. One person agreed the note was too harsh and disgusting. The user also noted Kyler didn't even need a diet, and if he did, that was not the way to go about saying it.
Supporting Responses
Heartfelt Sympathy
Another user stepped in to say she was appalled at the note the teacher sent back and how sorry she was for the trauma Francesca and her son may have gone through. She admitted she would tell everyone about this experience going forward.
Heartfelt Sympathy
Cost Concern
Francesca admitted she was a little worried about the additional cost it would require for the new daycare, but seeing her son is safe and comfortable, she would make an effort to make it work. She also apologized for the long Facebook post but felt it was important to share with the world.
Cost Concern
Hands-on and Eyes-on
Being extra careful and hands-on with her child's health still didn't put Francesca in a position to experience this. She advised parents to check up with the daycare centers they leave their child and warned them to stay away from that facility as they didn't deserve to be teaching innocent children.
