After discussing it yesterday with the principal it WILL be happening however.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17598928046422992165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7121474.post-49060818442722025692007-11-07T00:45:00.000-05:002007-11-07T00:45:00.000-05:00Don't you think it will be better to expose him to...Don't you think it will be better to expose him to how the actual society is and let him learn instead of preventing him from coming into contact with such situations? Afterall, you can't be there for him forever... Just my opinion... no offense =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7121474.post-23764283603246948222007-11-06T12:12:00.001-05:002007-11-06T12:12:00.001-05:00I also have a parent/teacher conference coming up ...I also have a parent/teacher conference coming up next week....that should prove interesting!Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17598928046422992165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7121474.post-5183093448321628432007-11-06T12:12:00.000-05:002007-11-06T12:12:00.000-05:00yes I definitely don't want to become "the enemy"...yes I definitely don't want to become "the enemy" or "oh no.....THAT mom!".....I have been on very friendly terms with the staff thus far but they knew I was upset. I am not really sure why this finally upset me to the point it did. I don't know....I guess seeing a little kid beat the crap out of another little kid and really hurting him and not one teacher doing anything about it bothers me! <BR/><BR/>BUT yes...I have remained on friendly terms....and should.....and I kept reminding myself "Melinda....calm down....keep your emotions in check here or they will think I AM PART OF the problem" not what I wanted to accomplish. <BR/><BR/>I came home to vent. Made a couple of calls for poor souls to LISTEN to me vent......good for them they were not home to answer or they would have heard an earful. I wrote it all out instead.....which did make me feel somewhat better. <BR/><BR/>This afternoon IF and when the principal calls me back...I hope I can sound more calm and civilized and not so upset as I was this morning. I am sure it is not easy for the principal either....and it sounds like her hands are tied to a point because of UNION crap for the teachers. <BR/><BR/>What happened to the days where teachers were there because they wanted to be there and went over and above their typical requirements?? We need more teachers like that.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17598928046422992165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7121474.post-31916223865654744602007-11-06T12:08:00.000-05:002007-11-06T12:08:00.000-05:00you did the right thing....but remember to try to ...you did the right thing....but remember to try to keep your emotions in check or they may not take you seriously. you have to learn to play 'the game' and as much as it sucks, that is just the way it is. get totally involved in the school. make the principal your "friend" and you will get much more out of them. I would go so far as to request another meeting now that you have cooled off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7121474.post-73844993017728202922007-11-06T11:35:00.000-05:002007-11-06T11:35:00.000-05:00Well Mom, I hope you don't get a headache from all...Well Mom, I hope you don't get a headache from all of this. Yes, I agree, if there were suppose to be five teachers, then, one should start them in, and walk with them, and after so many get through the door, another goes and so all with the last teacher going in last. Seems pretty simple to me. Teachers don't need to walk in two's, and only two at that. Perhaps this will wake them up to what is going on and I think I would take my camera along and film it the next time but let's hope it doesn't happen again. Even if the child has some special needs, like you are teaching Noah, that child should also be taught. Hopefully it will all work out ok, but I'm like you, I think I would take him as late as possible and stay and watch until they go in the building. <BR/>Love you both, <BR/>Mom/GrandmaPattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106461789118388241noreply@blogger.com
