Doxy:
Thank you for your email. I am extremely grateful that you've brought this situation to my attention. I have no problem addressing this with Ms. Manners. If it's alright with you, I'd like to forward your email to the school principal so that she can also be aware of what's going on. Please reassure the Empress that this situation won't happen again -- to her or anyone else in our class!
The immediate solution (until I am able to contact Ms. Manners to discuss this all with her) will be to make a new seating chart for lunch....
I will keep you updated about this situation, but rest assured that we will handle it. Please let me know if the Empress is still coming home with a full lunchbox. If necessary, she and her friends can come upstairs and eat with me! I do not want her to be afraid to eat her lunch!

Wonder Teacher
Okay, I made that signature up, but that's what I think of her...

Wonder Teacher did not disappoint :-)
...and you handled it fine, Doxy.
Amen! Loved reading that, was thinking about you all as I drove to work today!
Fran (at work not my typical google id!)
Wonderful, wonderful, and once more wonderful!
Hug Ms. Post II for me.
Every child should have such a wonderful teacher!! Glad that she is able to help the Empress.
Yay! Good luck going forward. I hope the Empress has an excellent rest of the school year (and comes home with empty lunch boxes and full tummy).
Wonderful teacher. Wonderful mother. You're both an inspiration.
Ditto to Alcibiades. Wonderful.
Yowza --sorry I am a come-lately to the discussion, but, Doxy --you did right and so did Wonder Teacher.
As to Ms. Manners --talk about a bully!
Late reading this follow-up post but VERY happy to hear about the Empress's fine teacher! Isn't it great when you get to deal with someone who "gets it"?
And I agree with Alcibiades.
*waves at Alcibiades* (whom I haven't talked to in too long - hope you and your brood are well!)
