Just a quick Hi!

                              Thank you Cab!

 

LOL ... I was writing my last entry when I realized the time... I had to go out and pick up my kids.... I said I would be right back...BUTT I started doing other things and ummmm I didnt make it back till today...

Anyway in my last entry I started saying how I noticed that the excitement to write in my journal is sort of dwindling....WHY you ask?...Well I guess its because my life is on  kind of  a stand still right now. It seems like nothing new, different or exciting is going on with me right now..... I thought that 2007 would be different but sooo far its the same shit...

I'm tired of complaining about the same ole stuff...It gets repititive after a while and I dont want to bore none of you away LOL.

Preview

I have the same ole stories ...like how my neighbors are still taking advantage and how I am still the dumb one to continue letting it happen..... I just like doing stuff for other people..I just dont like when they do something for me its get thrown in my face.

Preview

I'm also one step away from cursing out my son's afterschool teacher.  So far I have been a polite and patient parent but this B I mean lady is getting on my last nerve.

Preview

For some reason she has a problem with my son because she feels like he comes home and tells me everything. She says that to her its not a big deal so why should he make it a big deal... First of all I love that my son feels comfortable enough to come home and let me know whats going on or if something is bothering him....I mean if there were more children who confided in their parents we would have less suicide with children and less children getting so frustrated and they go out and kill their peers or even their teahers (EX Columbine incident). She thinks that he is too big to be coming home and complaining to me. WTF ..First of all he is my child..Second of all she is his damn teacher ..She is there when I am not..She sees whats going on I dont... So even if my child got into it over something trivial, its her responsibility to come to me and let me know whats going on....

Latest incident was...The class were having a discussion about states (I think this is what it was about) ANd in this conversation it came up that the class said that Puerto Rico is a State, Now my son and I had looked into this last year when he asked this question and we looked on the internet where it says that Puerto Rico is NOT a state it is in fact a self goverened common wealth...Residents of PR can not vote in the presidential election for the US Etc...... OK since my son knows this, he told the class that he knew that PR was not a state.. SO the class gets alll excited and they start yelling at him that it is.... Of course my son starts yelling back that its not(meanwhile the teacher is letting this happen)..Well eventually a student asked the teacher and the teacher tells my son "Dylan for your information PR is a State.. SO YOU ARE WRONG! She even tells him that we have 52 states WTF last time I checked on the internet we only had 50 states!!!!

Preview

Now my son is really upset. SO when I pick him he tells me what happened.. I get really upset but I dont let my son see that.

I told him "Dylan this best thing to do in a situation like that is to back off, and then go get facts proving that you are right. Once you have those facts just hand it over to the person or class or teacher and say now its up to you if you want to read this.... and its up to you to accept that you arewrong...

Preview

The next day I go pick him up and I have all facts stating that PR is indeed not a State(and correct me if I am wrong.. I got these facts off the internet and from what I know from school PR has not become a State) ....Now once again I see that my son is upset yet again!! I aske what happened now...He goes on to tell me that he got yelled at because he put on his winter hat and his teacher told him that boys do not wear hats in the buildings..(Now I know all about having good manners and yes boys are supposed to take off their hats when they are in a building) BUT give me a fucking break here... It is time to GO HOME..and I told all 3 of them that they are to be ready when I get there so we can just walk out instead of having to waste time to put on hat, gloves, scarves or whatever........ I look around I see kids everywhere wearing their hats SOO WTF.. This teacher must have an issue with my kid....

Preview

SO I confront her in a polite and quiet way.. I let her know that I WAS the one who told him to put on his hat....ITS FREaKING WINTER... She puts on a face and says OOHH I dont know what the big deal is.... She starts ranting and raving how my son is too sensitive and how he doesnt have to tell me everything....NOW I AM getting upset but I keep my cool..

Preview

I then bring up what happened yesterday in the class....She puts on another face and says what are you talking about...... I dont remember none of that.. SO I have to remind the TEACHER about HER discussion in HER class..... Finally she remembers and says Well you know PR is a state the class was right and its Dylan's fault for being sensitive.... I say WELLL PR isnt a state and I have a document proving that!!!!

Preview

She shuts up soooo fast.. SO I told her Listen it is up to you to let the parents know what is going on with their children..... Stop telling my son that he shouldnt tell me stuff.....So she starts yelling and carrying on OMG.. To all other parents and teacher it looks like we are arguing.. She's all waving her hands and yelling and it takes everything I have to not start yelling at her back!!!

Preview

I dont want to create a scene and look like an irate parent with no class..So I let her get her 10 mins of shine acting like a fucking child throwing a tantrum..... I kindly tell her to leave me son alone and if there is a problem with him then she needs to be a the teacher and let me knOW! I then thank her for her time and I walk away....... LOL I left her with her fat ass mouth hanging open...The next day she was absent..I guess she was too embarressed to show her face!!

Preview

I explain to my son that he can not be overly sensitive as he is going to be heading into the 6 th grade in sept(JUNIOR HIGH) and everything and everybody are going to more difficult.... Best thing to do is walk away when you are dealing with an ignorant person... I hope he gets it.... I mean I understand how he feels but he needs to grow a hard shell or else everyone will make his life miserable...... Problem with my son though is that he always has to be right and if he knows he's right he will fight to prove it! OHH GOD ....KIDS!

Preview

ALL I know is that next time this teacher will definitely get a piece of me!!

I made Spaggetti and homemade meatballs today...Can I say DELICIOUS!!!!

Well I kept you all reading long enough ......Goodnight and take care.......................

sounds like the teacher has to be right all the time as well.  Good gaawd tho, if she did that to him in class I would ask her politely to inform the entire class the facts so they know for future reference.  From the sounds of it I love you son!  Good for him to be telling you all... would that bit@h rather him keep secrets?  Helllooooo does she have kids?
hugs... and hopefully better days are on the way.

Wishing you luck with your son and his teacher...sometimes..these teachers once they have it out for a child they hang on to the grudge...I saw this with my little brother who is 12 years younger than me..and my son Billy only had one teacher that had it out for him...He is struggling with jr high right now, but we are working to get this next 9wks back to where he should be..Have a great week!  TerryAnn

Gosh, how old is this teacher!? She's not acting in an adult manner at all and from what you're saying it does sound like she's picking on your son. Seemed like she took pleasure in telling him in front of the whole class that he was wrong. I just hope that next year he has a better teacher.

Sometimes life can seem a little mundane, thing about 2007 is that it gave us a chance to do things differently, but in order for it to be different from 06 we actually have to do something!

That lady should not be a teacher. How awful to treat your child like that. I'm so sorry he has to go through all that. School should be enjoyable at this age.
