Today manster wept because he was excluded from the 5th grade newspaper group that some of the kids started a few weeks ago. They had initially included him and his job was to deliver the paper. Today, when the kids in a group were going up in front of the class to discuss it, his *friend* "N" told him he didn't want him to go up with them, that he was *just* the delivery boy and not really apart of it. He was upset and I guess the kid then fired him. He was so hurt. He said he thought this kid was his friend and how could he do that to him. Some of the other kids were also in on it. Except for one who said "it wasn't right". I called this kid's mom and told her what a great kid she had there. I told her she should be proud that he wasn't sukkered into going along with the crowd and spoke up for what he thought was right. It broke my heart to hear him cry and speak about his pain. At first I was going to call "C's" mom and luckily his number wasn't listed because I came around to think manster needs to work through the disappointment in his own way. Even though he was fine with me calling
On a good note, the PT conference was great. He is doing great in many areas and a few areas that need work too. The teacher assure me she was following the 504 and that she wanted to see him succeed. I feel better about 5th grade now.
It is so hard to see your kid hurt and I have to get better at dealing with this stuff.
Thanks for reading.
