Her mom was not pleased.
"She's not in my house so she doesn't know how we run things. So to push something she felt appropriate, I had a problem with that," said mother Crishana Wright.
School officials say they encourage teacher creativity, but instruction must be age-appropriate.
The teacher has issued an apology saying she should have used better judgment.
