In a surprising turn of events, a clever 7-year-old named Mia from Houston decided she didn’t want to attend her after-school program. Instead of simply telling someone, she cleverly penned a dismissal note and handed it to the staff at Sheldon Elementary School. To the astonishment of many, the school accepted her note without question, and she was placed on a bus headed home. Once she arrived, she found herself waiting alone on her front porch until a kind neighbor noticed her and alerted her father.
Mia was meant to be at her after-school program, but instead, her homemade note got her sent home. The note read: “I want Mia to go too dus 131 today.” It’s hard to believe that such a simplistic and misspelled note could lead to a child being dismissed. Mia’s father, Tom Richards, expressed his frustration upon learning that the note had actually worked. “Look at how she spelled ‘bus’ wrong. It’s clear that this was a child’s handwriting,” he told local news.
Tom, who has been involved in education himself, was understandably shaken. “I was nervous and just relieved to see her safe, but it’s alarming that this could happen.” Any parent would find the idea of their child being sent home alone concerning, especially when it’s due to a simple note like that.
In response to this incident, the school district issued a statement noting that Sheldon ISD is currently reviewing the situation. They are evaluating their training procedures to ensure that after-school staff are properly trained in dismissal protocols. “We’re committed to student safety, and we will take appropriate measures moving forward,” they assured.
Tom summed it up perfectly: “A second grader managed to outsmart the whole school system with a note.”
