*pets Dolly's head* It's ok I have stolen a few wins from Sanchi too one earlier last night. XD I still think Lime deserves to win just once you know. XD
Yay! It's FRIDAY AND IM NOT AT SCHOOL. My favorite thing about school is a student getting himself in trouble and then the parent calling me angry about it at 4pm. That's my absolute favorite. -___-
It's just the life of a teacher. /sighs kids were horseplaying (it was recess and I didn't see it happen) and one kid was on the losing end and decided that he was done playing. I stepped in and told them that they were done and that no retaliation was happening and the kid on the losing end kept arguing with me, so they both got sign-ins (which are warnings) one kid for hitting and the other for arguing with a teacher. Losing end kids parent got mad bc I didn't let him retaliate. -__-
It's seriously the worst part. Some parents are wonderful though, most are middle, and there are only a few that give you grief. You all have the same goal, so they want to be on your side. The good part about it is that it's a fantastic tool. You don't want to call home and THEY don't want you to call home. They'll usually shape up after you threaten to call momma.
Spies a Yuracye! We have a new comer to the mix or a sneaky oldie who hasn't posted here in a while. *watches closely in case they win*
That's always true Mousy though some teachers speak to the Parents but never the kid and ask them what they want to happen in a situation. I once was cyber-bullied on Myspace in high school. I had no knowledge of it and went about my daily life of if I leave you alone please leave me alone thing. I was the school loner and the easiest one they picked on. A teacher found out about it and spoke to my mom about what had happened. They then decided talking to my History Class was the best case scenario. So the next day the teacher had me go into the girls bathroom to look for a "missing watch" (this was before I admitted I was a guy. I'm trans in case you guys didn't know) and searched for a good ten minutes. I couldn't find it and didn't know why I had to go but hey free off time for class that I CAN"T get in trouble for. If a teacher tells you to do something then you do it and other teachers can't yell at you. After the ten minutes I went back and told the teacher that I couldn't find it. He thanked me for it and said he would let the other girl know that it wasn't found. I went to my next period and had a few kids who were in History with me. They backed me into a corner and started demanding what I told the teacher to get them all in trouble. I yelped and said I don't know what they are talking about. As far as I knew a girl lost her watch and I was asked to find it. They flipped on me and I was seriously afraid one of them was about to hit me. I came home and the first time in years I sobbed to my mom what happened. I never told her about the bullying I got because I didn't want to worry her and part of me didn't think I mattered much to her over my older sister. So when I asked why would he yell at them without talking to me first since I was so defenseless against them. The next day I went to him and said I appreciate that he was trying to help me but next time it might be wise to talk to the student being bullied first. I didn't know about what happened on Myspace so I just got yelled at in the next class because they were yelled at by you. He realized I was right that talking to me was what should of happened first and then my parents. He apologized to me and then I kept quiet until a year later when they pulled a prank on my mom after she had knee surgery. You can mess with me but you mess with my family and I will face you head on with no fear!
Oh gosh, that's a hard situation for everyone involved! The teacher was only trying to take up for you, but definitely did not do it in the right way. I'm glad you had the courage to talk to your teacher about it!
Yeah it took me a bit but he knew I was right which made me feel better. He meant well but at least he tried to do something. When I actually stood up I got a meeting with the girls in question of another incident and had to talk about my feelings to them. That it hurt my feelings. That is something you do in Kindergarten not in high school. By that age people do things because they know it will hurt your feelings.
