[blparent] did I handle this right?

[Gail Kilbourn]

You have a good point.  It no doubt ok to take her to task for doing that, it is also smart to keep in mind that if we want personal notes and such get to a teacher, with kids so young, delivering it your self would have made parent worry less about important things getting lost.  My Jacob, is ten, but he is only at 7 years old, as far as maturity goes.  I still need to give things to his teacher from time to time.  It is getting better, but we are not all the way there yet.

You write as if this wouldn't have phased you except that the info was "very personal". This leads me to think you should have been the one to ensure that the info got where it needed to, same as you would for a bill or something of that nature.
