BUFFALO, N.Y. – Some parents at a school in Buffalo are reacting to a teacher’s letter about hygiene.

According to MyFoxPhilly.com, she sent a notice home saying several children, ages 3-4, were sent to school “sometimes daily with soiled, stained or dirty clothes.”

The letter went on to say the issue is a “health and safety concern” and also mentioned the smell “makes it difficult for (the teacher) to be close to (the children).”

Parents and children were asked to sign and return the letter.

Some felt the letter was inappropriate and called for the teacher to face consequences, MyFoxPhilly.com reported.
