Class in the teacher's lounge?

So, thought I'd touch briefly today on overcrowding in schools. So, yes my son's school is desperately overcrowded, and the board is looking at fixing that situation. One of my son's classes is in what I thought was the former teachers lounge. Today, my son said, "Mom, could you call the school about the coffee smell?" "Pardon?" Said I...for those of you that know me, I find coffee to be one of the most repulsive smells ever and have actually banned the brewing of it in our house since having my first child and the smell of coffee promptly made me throw up. Well, evidently my son shares my same distaste for coffee....which ordinarily wouldn't be a problem for a middle schooler...except....that evidently the room that my son's math class is in (which I thought was formerly a teacher's lounge) is still used to brew coffee, pop popcorn, heat things up in the microwave, etc....evidently while his class is going on. Oddddddd. Yes, my son in addition to autism has a healthy dose of ADHD to go along with it so really the teachers' coming in and out to get their coffee maybe isn't the best learning environment for him. So, off goes another email to the school today about what I believe is a common sense decision to perhaps move the coffee maker elsewhere. But time will tell....and so begins another day~ Until next time...

I am just wondering if Brennan's dislike for the wonderful coffee aroma is learned behavior from his mama...;)

I happen to know that with Brenna..anything Mom says is gospel! I believe that is a great attitude most of the time and it would be wonderful if all kids could have that attitude, but I think that some of our kid's opinions need to be arrived at from their own experiences. Like aroma dislikes and food dislikes, etc....just a thought from your highly opinionated mama
