Guest guest Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Thanks for all the input on this. I have actually already told both my boys to get up and walk out of class, then call me. I can be there within 10 minutes. I have also went to the school nurse and told her what I told them to do. She has offered to try to mediate, but I told her I thought it was passed that point. I told her that if they walked into her office during class - she is to immediately call me. I have talked to our cf clinic about some of this. (Not the baby comment - it happened afterward) But, about the meds, etc.. They told me to let them know if it continues. They will get hold of the school and then it will be the schools problem. I have figured out something. We moved into a little bitty town, thinking we were helping the kids. Smaller school, bigger yard - you know the dream life in the country. But, if you arent born and raised here, you don't fit in. And heaven forbid if you cross them. This all has stemmed from the trip I made to the office over a teacher grabbing my 12 year old by the hair. I will be honest, it was not a pleasant visit. I did make one little promise, that if she ever touched them again I would come up there and give her the same thing. I think I made it worse. Since then it has been attitude. I am just tired of being told that I have to understand (understand that one is going through a nasty divorce after 30 yrs., that one is having a bad day, you have to understand that you moved to old KKK country, etc.... to err is human after all). I do understand some, but I will never understand all of it. I am not trying to offend anyone who is, has or will be a teacher - but, keep your personal life at home. Dont bring it to school and take it out on the children. And dont under any circumstances condone someone teaching children ignorance. I wont go more into detail on this, because it would really get the fires burning. I made my point known. I was also told be the nurse that this sub has repeatedly had problems with her temper. So this isnt the first. I am being really serious when I say that if I ever see her outside of school - she will eat those words. No, I didnt say that at the school. You know - trying to look and act more mature than I am, lol. I am calling my attorney and seeing what he says. This school is supposed to be state accredited, an A+ school. Maybe not after all this goes on. Maybe I will make sure it is known as the ass backwards, hickville, living in the past school that it really is. (pardon my language) I will let you all know what happens. Vondie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Vondie, even if it means moving elsewhere where the children would be happier, and you as well, if it comes to it, that is not " caving in! " It is being realistic; I am Hispanic and believe me, I am not moving to the suburbs nor to small towns. YOU and those children come first. With highest hopes, Love, n Rojas, who has not lived in Berkeley, California and environs all these years for no reason. I also loved Portland, Oregon--but NOT the Central Valley of Calif ornia!

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Vondie, You stay on them at that school, our kids live with something everyday that none of them can even imagine. Tell the -itch that is getting divorced after 30 years that atleast she had 30 years of marriage. Our children may never get that chance, so tell her to grow up and imagine the burden that our children deal with on a daily basis. I also told my son to leave the class and we would deal with the school afterwards. We never really had a problem and ever since he was diagnosed we were fortunate that the school never gave us a hard time about his taking his enzymes in school, He just put them in his lunch bag or pocket and took them as needed. Thankfully he is now out of highschool and no longer has to deal with some of the ignorant people that were there. Ignorance breds ignorance and if you live in a little hick town, the ignorance is probably too imbred in them to change. I wish you good luck on your fight, but dont ever give up the fight, our kids deserve to be heard. > >Reply-To: cfparents >To: <cfparents > >Subject: school >Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2003 19:08:52 -0600 >MIME-Version: 1.0 >X-Sender: mntecrlo@... >Received: from n11.grp.scd.yahoo.com ([66.218.66.66]) by >mc12-f35.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.6713); Thu, 11 Dec >2003 21:02:21 -0800 >Received: from [66.218.66.94] by n11.grp.scd.yahoo.com with NNFMP; 12 Dec >2003 04:58:11 -0000 >Received: (qmail 49907 invoked from network); 12 Dec 2003 01:09:03 -0000 >Received: from unknown (66.218.66.167) by m1.grp.scd.yahoo.com with QMQP; >12 Dec 2003 01:09:03 -0000 >Received: from unknown (HELO mail.positech.net) (69.27.136.12) by >mta6.grp.scd.yahoo.com with SMTP; 12 Dec 2003 01:09:03 -0000 >Received: from yourczpl0pp1h9 (buffalo-4-137-15.positech.net >[69.27.137.15])by mail.positech.net (8.12.8/8.12.8) with SMTP id >hBC18hDY031903for <cfparents >; Thu, 11 Dec 2003 19:08:44 >-0600 >X-Message-Info: JGTYoYF78jHoxrrAgKlX4hWtiCXBooZe >X-eGroups-Return: >sentto-104900-53805-1071205084-clog1760=msn.com@... >X-Apparently-To: cfparents >Message-ID: <00bd01c3c04c$85f29160$9865fea9@yourczpl0pp1h9> >X-MSMail-Priority: Normal >X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1158 >X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1165 >X-PipInternet-MailScanner-Information: Please contact the ISP for more >information >X-PipInternet-MailScanner: Found to be clean >X-eGroups-Remote-IP: 69.27.136.12 >X-Yahoo-Profile: mntecrlo >Mailing-List: list cfparents ; contact >cfparents-owner >Delivered-To: mailing list cfparents >Precedence: bulk >List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:cfparents-unsubscribe > >Return-Path: >sentto-104900-53805-1071205084-clog1760=msn.com@... >X-OriginalArrivalTime: 12 Dec 2003 05:02:21.0348 (UTC) >FILETIME=[1FC50640:01C3C06D] > >Thanks for all the input on this.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Okay, Let's leave the " little hick town " and " inbred " comments out of this. I am from a very small town in Tennessee and I resent that remark. Besides that, people from small towns are generally the nicest people you would ever want to meet. I am also a teacher and can say that 99% of the teachers out there are not out to get your children. You do not go into the profession for the money. If you did, there is something wrong because there is no money there. You go into it because of a genuine love of children and a desire to see them learn. Teachers have so much paper work,etc., etc. now that it makes it difficult to even teach - let alone keep up with the individual needs of each and every child, especially when you have over 150 per day. In a normal situation, a phone call to the teacher would help make the child stand out in their mind. They are also only human. In the situation you have described, you really do need to speak with the director of schools or an attorney.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 I'm sorry if you took offence to me calling this town " hickville " . I was raised in Ohio, from a little bitty town. But - this little town has been anything but friendly. Maybe I shouldn't have said that about the town - but, I guess I am mad. I wasnt speaking in general about all little towns. Just this one. And I am sorry but I stand by what I said about " this town " . When my children go to school and they get discrimination thrown at them on all levels, then I believe there is something wrong here - which is why I said " living in the past " . When I go to the principal about something very crude being said to my child by an adult individual and I get told that I have to understand that I have moved into " old kkk country " and that I need to understand the way some people still are. And to make an example for me she tells me her best friends grandpa was the grand something of the kkk. I just really think that there is something wrong here. I have tried to over look alot, but there is only so much as a mom that I can. I did not mean to offend any teachers, I was talking about these that i am dealing with. Maybe I wrote it wrong - I thought that I said that I didnt mean to offend any teachers - if I wrote it wrong I apologize. Anyway, I apologize all the way around. I am sorry Vondie RE: school Okay, Let's leave the " little hick town " and " inbred " comments out of this. I am from a very small town in Tennessee and I resent that remark.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Vondie; I think that you should focus on your kids' needs and yours as a mother and not worry about criticism at this point--said she, biasedly!
