Public School Drama
For all of you that may have children I know at one point and time your child came to you and told you about someone in their class or school that has been messing with them from time to time or everyday. Well in this case my son is experiencing the same delimma.
Now my son is no saint but he is a good kid but this particular child that my son is having a problem with isn't your regular school bully, this child seems to have a problem with touch other little kids in the private areas. At least once a week my son would tell me about this kid but my son didn't go into full extent of what was going on until last week. I asked him why he didn't tell me this before and he said that he was to ashamed to tell me in detail which I understood. So I aksed him did he let his teacher know what was going on he told me that he would let his teacher know that this kid was messing with him and the teacher would just tell my son to get back in line or to be queit and finish what he was working on.
With this said I went up to the school to confront the issue and the first thing that came out of the teachers mouth was patronizism. When she did that it made my mind instantly flash back to my public school days and how the teachers back then really didn't differ from the teachers today which is very sad to me.
After my son, myself, the teacher and the little boy had a small meeting in the school hallway we all came to an understanding "I hope". The kids went back into class and so did the teacher and I turned around to leave as I was leaving I heard the teacher getting on my sons case about how he is not a saint either. The thing was the teacher thought I was gone, so I crept around the corner " I mean in straight stealth mode" and surprised her which made me even more anger because she was chestizing my son instead of correcting the matter at hand.
People... this is what's going on in our childerns schools and the teacher can give a danm about it, some never cared in the first place and other came into the teaching profession with all the heart and will to see a child develope into a promising adult and after years of being dragged through the school system themselves their passion for teaching has been exstinquised and replaced with half assed teaching methods, low pay scale, a crappy retirement, and year after year of class overflow and half of them are unruley childern.
This particular procces helps aid in low test scores in public schools along with turning a blind eye and ear to childern that a calling for help whether it's about school ciriculum or that one/group of kids that's making your childs school life a living hell for them.
