Bad school memory- from light to heavy

My D’s kindergarten teacher berated another mother (so loudly that I could hear it) because that woman’s child came to school with messy hair. While I can understand the point (the long curly hair was rather wild), and it was not the hair per se that could not be managed, I can only think of the mortification that the mother felt. She had two other kids and was a single mother. One of the other kids was a special needs kid who really required alot of work. I’m sure that getting out each day with perfect hair was just not a priority. This mother was an outspoken woman, but she basically just took it. She took her daughter out of that school after first grade (as did we with our D.)
