She sent an orange form home with my child that stated in her handwriting that, " I sent another child to tell her she was on the wall and she told the child that she was not going to do that." When I contacted the teacher via telephone, I was mocked, there was no information that she gave me to promote clarification. She then wanted to schedule a conference with the principal and would not answer 4 other phone calls within school hours. At the beginning of this year my child was the smartest kid in the class, quoted by her teacher. Now for some reason I have an A,B Honor Roll Student to seeing a report card with 3 D's on it. It also seems that she is punished for being absent with an ongoing battle with Gastric Reflux that the staff has known about and has ALL required medical documentation.

When you're of a certain age, you look for stability in financial income, credit, family, etc.,no matter what you do for a living....So far in my life, although I have a trade and am in college, I haven't been able to hold down a job longer than a year, ALL because eventually, I get harassed/bullied. I'm a 30 year old woman, I'm also a lesbian (but you'll never know it by seeing me, nor am I out about it), I'm attractive, thin framed, very friendly and open minded, I seem to get along quite well in the beginning with everyone...Then all of a sudden, I'm EVERYONE'S TARGET!??? Mostly men, but also women throw in their share of bullying me too. My last job, was one that I had planned to do for a living. I got along with everyone, EXCEPT ONE female who I heard was talking alot of nonsense about me only a month into my employment (BASICALLY, didn't know anything about my personal life, NO ONE DID until I was fired)...Anyway, the place I worked at, I came to find out it was corrupt, this particular female (along w numerous others), got away with anything they wanted. I was harassed for almost a year, people I didn't know where harassing me, pushing me, vandalizing my car, prank calls, etc..When I finally told the GM, IT GOT WORSE. Long story short, even the GM along with mngmt. and shop steward was related to this particular group of women (the men who got involved where "friends" of the relatives). Worst part of it all, even though I have voice recordings and witnesses on my side, these ppl pay lawyers even, under the table to not persecute them. My jobs in the past were crappy until I landed that last job, but even in my past jobs as I've mentioned earlier, I eventually am THE ONE who winds up getting fired or forced to quit for what reasons I'm still trying to figure out. People eventually love to play the jekyl and hyde on me and then try to play reverse psychology on me by saying there's something wrong with me. I'M GETTING TIRED OF IT, I ALSO DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE LIKE THAT ARE ALLOWED TO RUN ANY BUSINESS/CORPORATION. Katie, you may be absolutely right…But seriously, my life so far has been horrible.

The male teacher is always yelling, threatening, ridiculing, and making sarcastic remarks, saying VERY mean things and being disrespectful towards the students in the class. He humiliates the children in front of his classmates, and verbally abuses them! My son has been keeping a journal of all that have been happening in the classroom. When I gathered enough info, I had a meeting with the principal, I complained and showed him our notes. I reguested my son to be transfered, but I was co-erced and talked into into leaving him there--against my better judgement!! Well, things are actually WORSE now in the class room, and I honestly believe my son and who knows how many other children are being retaliated against at. I am at my wits end!! Would you please be so kind and tell me what other options do I have here? I will really appreciate any info/help you can give me.

This has been an exhausting day. My son messed up. He has been bullied for about two years at school and on the bus. I knew something was wrong but he would not tell me what. Yesterday, he snapped at school. The story from him is he touched several male students on the leg and grabbed their crotch so he would get expelled from school. This worked, he now has to go to an alternative learning center. He knows what he did was extremely wrong and he feels horrible about it. From what the other kids said it started at first a couple weeks ago when he told another boy that he was going to rape him. From what he told me last night he thought this would definitely get him in trouble. Which it should have, but the boy didn't tell on him. My child is a straight A student who plays in the band and he gets picked on because he is smart. He says he didn't touch the boys for sexual gratification, but because he wanted to get kicked out of school(he did it three times trying to get caught) so he wouldn't have to put up with it anymore. I told him what he did was a huge mistake and at the time his 13 year old brain didn't really understand the ramifications that all of us will have to deal with. The school principal doesn't care about the reasons why a good kid would suddenly do something bad. He said to us that if it was his kid that was touched he would want the child punished to the full extent of the law. I can understand this mentality, but it's not so cut and dry. I have made an appointment with a therapist who will hopefully get to the bottom of it all. He acted out to get out of a bad situation. In the process he assalted other students which is not ok and he knows it. I asked him why he chose to take action that way. He said he thought it would get him in trouble and he wouldn't have to ride the bus or come to that school because he'd be in trouble. I told him it would have been much better to have punched the bully who has been making him miserable. At least then the principal would have cared a little. I don't know what I should do as a parent. I've told him no matter what I love him and we will do everything within our power to help. Does anyone have any suggestions? We are going to have to go to Juvenile Court because the school is pressing charges. I'm scared. I know he will be punished because he was very wrong for handling the situation as he did but he did not want to have to deal with it anymore and he wanted out of there. He should have told someone but the bully has eroded his confidence by endless name calling and threatening. He knew the person would get in trouble then come back and take his revenge. He has told my child that he is going to beat the hell out of him numerous times. It breaks my heart that he wasn't able to tell us or the teachers at school, he was ashamed and he shouldn't have been. I'm sorry I'm venting so much, this has been a very trying day for us all. If anyone has been thorough anything similar or has any suggestions please reply. Thank you, Hello. This has been an exhausting day. My son messed up.
