Santa will be coming on the 25th december,kids!
Are you saying that is totally wrong to tell children that?
I could be starting a storm here but, is'nt all religion actually a belief and not a fact?

That's not the same at all. Kids believing in Santa is nothing big at all. they expect presents, they get presents. Years later, they learn Santa doesn't exist, but by that time they could care less. Telling a seven year old that aliens will land on three continents and then be seen worldwide in 2009 is much different. The kid is expecting it and when/if it doesn't happen... they're crushed. Their teacher lied to them and keep pressing it in so much that they got excited and were let down. It's like saying "We're going to Disney Land on the 4th!" for a year and then... "no."

No offense to the poster of this thread but if the responses are bothering you this much then maybe you shoudnt have posted it, You said your ok with the teacher telling her this stuff about aliens. If your ok with it you should have just said "my daughters learning about extra terrestrial life, good for her" and moved on with your life in general. You posted the thread and it sounded like you had some concern.
Also its a message board so there will be all types of differing opinion,
I would be concerned about what she said about the alien landings, I wouldnt want her strapping my kid with those possibilties. … I believe in the possibility of alien life but i dont preach to every one I see about it, especially kids.

I don't need to. It is self evident and I'll leave it for people to judge for themselves.

The teacher's motives are not important. What is important is my child potentially being made fearful by the actions. No one can know a person's motives, and few people know their own motives that well.
