You get so much across with their movements alone!<br />It's really sad that your "boss", the principle did not back you up with defending & protecting the African American Special Ed student from the cruelty & humiliation that mother's spawn caused him. The cheerleader was obviously in the "wrong". You apologized for your poor choice of words. You basically were trying to stop the cheerleader from her inappropriate behavior & defend the African American student.That was noble.<br />When my son was in public middle school in NYC, he was very blessed to be in a school that was so diversified, they arranged each class to have an almost equal amount of African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, & Caucasions. There were wealthy & not, also some openly gay students & teachers, as well as spec ed.<br />I was fortunate to be voted in as a member of a committee each middle school year that consisted of 4 parents, 4 teachers, principle, counselor, some other staff, etc.We helped form school policies, etc.<br />If ANYTHING could be interpreted as intolerance, at the very least the principle would take the offending student/s and the "victim", point out the inappropriate behavior, give everyone an opportunity to talk, & decide an action from there. IF it meant that the parents of the offending student/s had to be called in (because he couldn't reach the kid, etc)the principle made it very clear what was or was not acceptable.<br />It wasn't done in a crazy making way either. Some incidences, kids are learning how to be in the world & the teachers or principal would help guide them. In your case it was the Mother who needed a "talking too", explaining the rules and intolerance. Your principle should've had your back & dealt with the real issue, instead of let this Mother use you as a distraction to the true & hurtful offense!New York Mamanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-478024514640293628.post-54153933892554872612010-11-08T10:44:18.714-05:002010-11-08T10:44:18.714-05:00I totally agree!

Sadly, as a fellow teacher, I have many such stories. I think the most infuriating is when parents support their child's poor behavior and academic performance with excuses or blindly backing them. To me, that's the ultimate injustice...letting a child think the world revolves around them and there will always be someone who will cover for them. These kids enter the world ill equipped to deal with reality.<br /><br />AuntDianeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
