An outraged father
demanded that his son's teacher be fired
after finding the "rude" note he left on his homework.
The incident at a US school generated a heated debate in the school community.
Christopher Piland
, a native of Pennsylvania, was surprised to see the comments that teacher
Alyssa Rupp Bohenek
had left about the math problems that had been established for
seven- and eight-year-olds.
In fact, he challenged them to solve as many subtraction questions in three minutes from a list of 60 as they could.

But when his son
Kamdyn's teacher
highlighted her efforts, the father was outraged to discover that she had written,
"Absolutely pathetic, answered 13 in 3 minutes! Sad,"
alongside a picture of a sad face.
The homework photo went viral

Some people expressed their outrage on the networks.
One for example wrote: "I don't even have a child and he disgusts me. It goes beyond unprofessional and is just wrong."
And a second remarked:
"No teacher has the right to write such horrible comments about the work of a young child

Support for the mathematics teacher
Just as the teacher received strong criticism and attacks on her work, she also had those who expressed their support.
