Mike Rossi’s kids go to Rydal Elementary School. When the professor of the school learned about their absence, she did not hesitate to reprimand their parent, which she did by writing a letter to the father.

Unfortunately, this did not sit well with the kid’s father, also known as Mike Rossi. Instead of allowing the principal to run all over him and his family values, he sat down and penned the following note burning him in the best way possible. Check out this dad’s scalding reply and see how he handled this annoying situation…

Mike Rossi’s note is as follows:

Dear Madam Principal, While I appreciate your concern for our children’s education, I can promise you they learned as much in the five days we were in Boston as they would in an entire year in their school.

Our children had a once-in-a-lifetime experience, one that can’t be duplicated in a classroom or read in a book.
In the 3 days of school they missed (which consisted of standardized testing that they could take any time) they learned about dedication, commitment, love, perseverance, overcoming adversity, civic pride, patriotism, American history culinary arts and physical education.

They watched their father overcome, injury, bad weather, the death of a loved one and many other obstacles to achieve an important personal goal.point 222 |

They also experienced first-hand the love and support of thousands of others cheering on people with a common goal.point 97 |
At the marathon, they watched blind runners, runners with prosthetic limbs and debilitating diseases and people running to raise money for great causes run in the most prestigious and historic marathon in the world.point 279 | 1

They also paid tribute to the victims of a senseless act of terrorism and learned that no matter what evil may occur, terrorists can not deter the American spirit.
These are things they won’t ever truly learn in the classroom. In addition our children walked the Freedom Trail, visited the site of the Boston Tea Party, the Boston Massacre and the graves of several signers of the Declaration of Independence.

These are things they WILL learn in school a year or more from now. So in actuality our children are ahead of the game.
They also visited an aquarium, sampled great cuisine and spent many hours of physical activity walking and swimming.
We appreciate the efforts of the wonderful teachers and staff and cherish the education they are receiving at Rydal Elementary School. We truly love our school.

But I wouldn’t hesitate to pull them out of school again for an experience like the one they had this past week.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely, Michael Rossi Father

The proud father went on to explain a few more things after his post went viral:

Just to clarify a few things: I am not angry, I don’t have any beef with the school, teachers or principal. We did not ask for our kids to be “excused”. We will take them out of class whenever we see fit. I did not make this viral. I don’t like coconut. Thank you.
