Last one to post........... Part 21

[Mom2Ashli]

I have to vent. I am so mad I'm crying and shaking!

I received an email from a mom of one of the boys in Andrew's class last night around 9:00. She said her son had gotten in trouble at school for crushing Andrew's chips and that she had grounded him at home. She asked if Andrew was upset.

Long story made short...I asked Andrew about it. He said it was no big deal. I asked him if he thought Cody should be grounded at home for it and he said no. I should have known better than to answer that email but I did. I am so stupid.

This morning I get a call from the principal. She went off on me! Yelling at me over the phone! She said that they finally got this kid for all he's doing to Andrew and now I've undone everything. She evidently had suspended Cody over the incident and his mom took my email in there first thing this morning to appeal the suspension!!

1. She never said anything to me about school punishment, only being grounded at home!
2. How dare the principal blame me!
3. We've been round and round with the school since this fall about the h*** that Andrew has been put through and NOW they're finally going to take it seriously and suspend someone over a bag of chips!?!?!?

The school is looking for an excuse not to let a few of the "bad" boys go on the 8th grade trip and they're trying to do it at Andrew's expense. Then instead of moving on to the high school next year and being able to put all of this behind him he'll have those guys standing in the high school halls, pointing their fingers at him blaming him for costing them their trip!

I give up. I will trust no one! That mom betrayed me, the school has betrayed me. I just can't handle it any more.

I'm tempted to go down to the school and bring Andrew home for the day.

I finally have a day off where DH took A.J. to school so that I could get a jump on all I have to do here and now this. All I've been doing for an hour is crying. I just can't do it anymore.

Oh Kathy I am so sorry that she did that too you. That is so wrong in more ways than I can count.

She totally set you up for the fall.

And all this over a bag of chips instead of the major issues at hand.

....OMG! That is so awful....as a mother AND a 7th/8th grade teacher, I can understand your frustration and anguish. That principal owes you an apology - BIG TIME!!

Kathy that is just wrong!!! I don't understand how the school isn't going to do anything about the names he's being called and them bullying him all the time but they will suspend him one of them over CHIPS!!! that's just crazy!!!

Oh look... I'm last!!!!!!!

 

[tubachick]

Hi everyone!!!

How is everyone today

Did I miss anything?

 

[tubachick]

no...I am having a very emotional day today
We already decided that DS isn't going back, he will stay with Mama for long summer and then start K. I went to the school my DSil talked about this morning, before work and I didn't have a good feel about it....I don't want to send DD there now, so I am desperately trying to find a good school for her...sadly, when I went to the school my first thought was that the school she is at now is a better than that place so...I am still looking/calling. It just really sucks since a lot of the good preschools get filled up in Feb/March or before and so I am really late now (one of my friends is checking today on the school near our workplace where her son is at....but some people camp overnight to get a spot there)...There is a great preschool near Mama's and I called, they put me on the wait list for the school...we have a shot at the early day (2:30) but not at the 5:00, too many people on the list. So, I don't know what to do. DH sort of said he could try and work parttime for a year or be a SAHD....but he has a really great job and he worked hard to get there, plus he is taking his doctorate classes now and taking off a year would basically kill his career and all the benefits we get from his job. So, I talked to my boss about me working parttime for a year, and for it to be only a year and it didn't look very positive. My boss is great and very nice/supportive, but it would be hard for me to get this at where I work and how HR is....I don't know what I am going to do....sorry, this was another long vent

hopefully something will come thru for you and your kids. Sorry about that school DS was going to. Its great that you are both willing to go part time for your kids you are great parents. keeping my fingers crossed that it will work out!!!

I wonder what my principal would say if I "needed" a week off in the fall??

I could never make a long weekend when school is just starting

Don't get me wrong I WANT TO, and DH is very conviencing, that if you call in sick, you call in sick.... its not like you are int he classroom anymore....

That is wrong for the school to do Over a bag of chips is just crazy These boys must be doing something else during the day that doesn't involve Andrew for them to get in trouble !!!
