  1. They will thereby not learn to deal with other people in the world and other children and will not learn how to behave in a classroom. By all means, do what you want.

  2.  @Roberta_Trevino  Exactly and that means they'll be horribly scarred when they go to college and learn what teachers are like, never having been shown how to deal with ignorant people. You're taking away opportunities learning from people óutside your bubble and the people you pick for her to play with. Honestly, if we had a child wearing perfume/other scents in class (because I am a teacher) I would've called the mom and asked about it. The fact she gave a spelling-mistake-ridden note was a big flaw and obviously very unprofessional. However, informing the mother (through the phone) about her child being teased because of a strong coconut-scent (whether that scent is delicious or rancid or just coconut-like) is not a mistake. The thing that the teacher did, was incredibly stupid. I'd have called the mom up and the mom could've decided what kind of solution she wanted to pick. That's how you communicate professionally.

  3.  @Roberta_Trevino  I've done enough research on homeschooling and I disagree with it for several reasons. I've given you a few, I'm busy with other things now, if you want I can tell you the rest tomorrow (it's very much nighttime here.) However, we can also agree to disagree. You can choose.

  4.  @Roberta_Trevino  1. Just because the video doesn't mention that strongscented coconutoil goes off when it touches oxygen, doesn't mean that couldn't have been the reason. It's an important thing to keep in mind. 2. The teacher was an unprofessional weird woman and the parent and school needs to deal with that. The rest of us are not involved in this. 3. The fact she refuses to talk to the press is one of the most clever things she has done, because nothing has ever been solved by talking to the press. Talking to press about it...taking matters to the media instead of solving it directly with the person (and authorities) involved, is a very American way of dealing with problems and usually causes a lot of harm for all parties involved. This girl would have remembered the situation as 'unpleasant' and 'sad', had it been dealt with privately (and effectively.) Nów, she is the "stinky" not-stinky girl with coconut-oil that was discussed on television. Her friends will have talked about it, her family, her neighbours, her other teachers. Maybe the teacher itself was so overwhelmed she resigned and hid from public attention, because she didn't want to be harassed and threatened. The girl will not remember this as a happy moment at all. 'unpleasant and sad' would be putting it mildly. I've received 4 death-threats before, one including my address, because I mistranslated a word. (not the N word) On an American fanpage about Harry Potter. The actress had great make up on, I wrote a compliment and mistranslated the word for skincolour. One Belgian girl tried to do damage-controll and explained that words have different meanings (in my language it was a kind word) and that Google Translate said the exact same word that I'd used. The girls said; 'It doesn't matter what intention you had, Emma, we will make sure you will never be able to say that word again. We will make sure this will haunt you for the rest of your life. Girls...here is her address, find fellow black women in the Netherlands and let's break her teeth out of that filthy mouth.' 42 hatemessages, 4 death-threats and when I apologized and explained everything in tears, there were 8 more, including one Flemish-impersonator from California that tried to convince women that I'd used a word unmentionable. I mean, I can keep adding information to this, about how the moderator send me a private thankyou-message for the endless tutorials I'd handmade for everyone. And how she regretted not seeing the part 5 of my 'Build your own Godric-sword-lake' video. And hadn't expected the group to be so toxic and unforgiving after translating something wrongly. Bottomline, an honest mistake in translating got me 4 death-threats and one of the biggest parts of my social network was convinced I was a racist shit within minutes. Now imagine the press with that.

  6. Oh bytheway, the troll called me a know-it-all, but I know a bit more, actually, let me share it; Similar to other foods that are high in fat, going rancid is inevitable for coconut oil. Storage conditions have a crucial role in preventing coconut oil from going rancid. With poor conditions, such as leaving the bottle unclosed for long or exposure to sunlight, coconut oil gets rancid faster. Sometimes it can happen even before the best-by date. When spoiled, coconut oil develops a strong, sour odor and taste. It is best to use up the bottle within a year. Always check if there is no mold in the bottle. Also, some children just don't seem to like the strong smell of coconut. She was being ignored and bullied because of it. The lady asked the mom (in a very unprofessional way) if she could prevent the child from spreading strong odors when it wasn't necessary. Other oils can be used, coconut-oil can be made odourless, etc. Maybe it's because my country isn't known for shooting black people, but anyone else would've just said; 'Youknow what, I think that mother is strong enough to tell that teacher what's on her mind' and let them figure it out together.' I honestly don't think she needs the whole country to dive into the discussion. Especially fake trolls.

  7.  @Roberta_Trevino  I'm sorry, I was under the impression that commentsections might have subject-changes throughout it. I'll leave your topic alone then. The troll ('You're a fecking - etc.) has been removed, that was the reason I explained why I didn't agree with people judging a teacher they will never meet.

  8.  @koo-core7274  First of all, you do not go to the school, neither did you attend the class. You mentioned; 'They only contain coconut and don't smell like them' but then you followed up with; 'The smell isn't disgusting.' So which one is it? The last thing you said is also a matter of opinion. My parents frequently cook with coconut-oil and it's a very strong scent. I absolutely hate the scent and usually try to leave the room, especially when I have a headache or if I'm tired. The scent is strong, that's why it's easily overpowering.

  9.  @boogalingous1  We're halfway through a discussion with multiple people involved here, so I have no clue what you're on about. I'm assuming the schooltrips, the picture-day and the football-team? Them visiting the classmates they see after school, on fieldtrips? I mean, I'm having 5 discussions with 5 people at once here, you need to be specific.

  10. @Jossy Townes, MBA I know the smell of coconut-oil, thanks. I know it's not raw coconut...because of the word 'oil', that indicates it is an oil. And I also know how strong that oil smells.
