Mojito Monkey Mama's 2 cont'd

Linda,
I just called to see if we could add 2 people to our reservation and they couldn't do it. We would have room for one at the table since there are 3 of us but unfortunatly not 2. I did ask and they said they have room for two at 8:10 that night and I will keep trying to call and see if they have a table for five come up before we go. I really want to do dinner with you so I will keep my fingers crossed.

Ang, sweetie, I appreciate it but don't you worry. I will get a ressie for Kona, I like it there fine, and then I will keep checking and if I can find a ressie at O'Hana's at your time for 5 I will grab it and let you know. If that fails just join me on the beach afterward, remembering to ask your server for take away cups of your favorite beverage. I will save you seats. My plans are far too much up in the air for me to want anyone else to make plans dependent upon me.

I hate the heat. You can have my share.

Bonz,
I just had too share this to let you know you are so not alone with the school issues. Today my son got beat up and then suspended. Why you might ask: because a kid who has been bullying him for the last two years by saying nasty stuff to him and flicking him off (he did this in front of me last year) decided to humiliate him in front of the entire gym class today. DS said he just couldn't take it any more so he tried to run back to where the teacher was (the teacher was nowhere to be found when this took place, and never is, that is why there are so many fights in his gym class) and the boy held him back while the rest of the boys circled them so DS swore at him and the kid punched him several times in the face. DS never touched him but because he swore at him he got suspended right along with the other boy. Ironically, this boy was put in DS gym class for the first and only time today because of a field trip he was not allowed to go on with his class.

My son is in serious need of self defense classes because he is a bully's dream because of being so mild mannered and different beause of his ADHD. He did everything by the book telling the kids to stop, trying to involve a teacher etc. Sadly, he did everything but defend himself and still gets suspended.

I called the police and was told I could press battery charges but it was unlikely in our small town that anything would happen since it is the schools responsiblity and they took care of it by suspending the boy who hit him. I am so tired of the BS in our school and the little town politics.

Maybe I will take DH up on moving to the hoosier state just to get out of our sad repressed little town but then it will just be new bullies to contend with.

I know it is life lessons he is learning the hard way but it is so hard to watch him go through it when he is just such a mild mannered kid. Now he will be a nice target for the kids for the next four weeks till this school year ends.

I did make it clear to the principal and my son that I expect my son to walk with the teacher at all times when going to and leaving the locker room. If he is late because the teacher feels cleaning up for the next class is more important than supervising the raging hormone 13 year olds in his class then he will have to explain it to DS teacher in his next class so DS doesn't get disciplined for being late to class. It would be so nice if I could be 13 along with him and beat all the bullies up for him. I grew up with 4 brothers so it was learn to fight or die. lol

I am on my way to vote so I cannot respond to everything but want to send out pixie dust to Ang's son. My son was mild mannered as well and had his share of such. I wanted him to take self defense classes to give him confidence. Bullies do not pick on kids they think will hit back.

Ang, I hate to tell you this but my small town handles such things the same, bigger schools even worse. My solution was to volunteer at the school and keep an eye on my kid, and others. Schools do not want a rep as a bad school so they sweep things under the rug. Many think it a 'normal' thing for kids to do. Bet they would not think so if it happened to them. Bullying hurts everyone and not just the kid who is being bullied. It is scary going to school when you are afraid of being hurt. Please give your son a hug from me and also he is so lucky to have an involved mom who is not scared of nuthin'.

Maybe a threat of a civil suit/class action to the school district would get their behinds in gear?

SG/Linda who cannot abide the thought of a child being hurt any old where

Well we were actually going to go on a Disney Cruise but the one that we wanted is sold out for Oct. well at least thats what is says!! so Mike and I had a back up plan and we went with that and it was cheaper over all so we will be able to do more land excursions this way too. We are booked with that "C" one its a cruise line. Hopefully everyone will know which one I am talking about. we go for 8 days instead of the 7 that we had orginally looked at and for a cheaper price YEAH!! Bonus!! Going to St. Thomas, P.R., and another stop and back to NY ,oh thats we we leave out of. We are going to NY a day early so we can look around then off to the ship YIPPIE!!

You should still press charges Don't let this kid get away with this kind of crap!! That is why there are some many things happening in the school Please go file charges!!

I am so sorry your DS has had to endure all of this crap and that the school like in Bonzi's case also hasn't stood up to their responsiblities. Go get em!!1

my hubby is a teacher at a local high school & my best friend is one of the administrators. They have a no tolerance policy for violence. Your sonlikely wouldn't have been suspended for cursing at him, maybe detention. However, the other boy would have been arrested.... no exceptions. Charges would have been filed whether your son liked it or not.

Ang, gonna be late but I am concerned about you& your son. As a few pp said "file the charges". It should be put in your local paper under police reports, a few parents may see it. They will certainly not get the info from the school. Meet with the Superintendent, go to the next scheduled school board meeting & go VOCALLY!!. Contact your State board of Ed, in written format. That will sometimes generate attention & maybe get a call to the school. Once they know they are being held accountable at a higher level, policy may be addressed. Make the other parents aware of what has happened, this kid won't stop with your son. As we all know, there will always be someone else.
I feel just sick for you and your child.
pm me if you want to talk.
always
Bon

 

[angwill]

Thank you for all the kind words in support. I am still waiting for the anger to subside so I don't act out of anger. Thanks for all the advice because I will come back to think through all the suggestions when the anger is gone. Honestly, a suspension in 7th grade means nothing as far as I am concerned because the kids just get a day at home since there is no in school suspension room . I emailed his teacher who is behind DS and said she will make sure he can make up the work for a grade when they typically give them 0's for any work when suspended. Sadly he loses out on his field trip and the school dance he was really looking forward too. I will be keeping him home the field trip day because otherwise he will be stuck in a room with the same bully to do work all day and why let the school get the tax dollars for DS being there.

Bonz, I hope you weren't late to where you were going. I just knew you had been through this type of thing recently.

Pooh,
A cruise sounds so nice and relaxing. My friend just got home from one and she loved that part as much as being at Disney and is already talking about doing it again. I think she will be my next Disney loving friend. Only problem is her DH complained about all the people, heat, the cost, and the crowds and said he is never goin back. Looks like I have a new Disney buddy. lol I hope you find and opening for you on a cruise.
