Mom? What's a difficult child?
OK this has been building up for a couple of weeks. K has been coming home crying a few times, Miss B has been yelling at her, putting her in time out... I have talked to K and told her she needs to try and listen to Miss B, K is having a HARD time sitting still, can't be quiet, can't stop moving... she is having Tourettes like movements. She is doing horribly at home, but she is trying SO hard.
Her psychiatrist has not returned our call in over 2 weeks... so her medications our still not right. I have mentioned these things to Miss B. She will not talk to me.
The other day K and I were running errands and *I* forgot K's backpack so I dropped K off and told her to tell Miss B that I would return and drop off the backpack, tell her it was my fault. husband returned and walked in to see K looking down and looking miserable, Miss B was degrading K and saying, "We need to be responsible for our own things, we don't blame our Mommies for forgetting our Backpack's, it is our responsibility to remember our own things" husband walked in and said to Miss B, "Hi I am dropping of K's backpack that her MOM forgot"
She just said "Well she needs to learn to be responsible for her own things" and when husband tried to explain that we out running errands, she turned her back on him and walked away!!!
SO the next day I was talking to *I's* Mommy and she has concerns about Miss B as well, he has come home crying also. She was volunteering that day.
I ran into her later, this was last night....she tells me that 25 minutes into class someone says where is K?
Miss B says "She is not here todays" T says "Yes she is I saw her and her Mommy this morning"
Miss B says "No sometimes she just doesn't come to school"
T goes into the hall and sees K's stuff in her cubby, but no K... she starts getting scared!!!
She goes back in and says "I saw her this morning!"
So MIss B finally gets up and goes into the office and comes back and says "Oh she is at speech, and so is Gabe" She says this with an attitude.
T was !!!
So long story... I call the principal... she stands up for Miss B. Miss B says she Didn't see speech teacher take them out of line, but that none of what T told me happened. That it was no big deal! (this is the principal talking)
Miss B calls me later, acts like she knows nothing, "What did you need to talk about?" I said well I think you already know?"
She proceeded to talk in circles, I caught her in 3 lies, she was stuttering. She called T a lier. Said she could never voulunteer again! I said this has nothing to do with her. She kept laughing.
At that point I said , First of all I would appreciate it if you would stop laughing RIGHT NOW!!!
My daughter has mental Illness, when someone calls me and tells me that NO-ONE knows where she is for 25 minutes, I find nothing FUNNY about that, DO YOU?
SHe never said a word again except UH UH.
I told her how I did not appreciate her ridiculing my daughter in front of the class over the back pack, and calling her a lier, how she may be smart but her mental capacity is not that of a 6 yo, I told her how she comes home crying and is afraid of her.
I basically told her everything I have been trying to tell her for the past few months but she would not listen. I then told her that all she ever says is "I don't see it"
I said it you really don't see any of this then you are dellusional.
I asked her if she really had nothing to say? She said in her patronizing tone, "I am just taking all of this in"
I said "Fine, I truly hope you can start treating my child with some decency'
So husband and I are starting the process of looking into moving again... he is not mad at me. He knew it was going to happen. I have had a bunch of parents come to both of us and say how mean she is to the kids... she is the only teacher and they are covering for her... the SD is awful. Our psychiatrist is MIA... We have no options left here, we have given it 2 years. I don't know what else we can do. we are beating a dead horse... sorry horses. I am sad. I will let her stay in class as long as she is OK but I am going to pull her the minute I feel it is getting worse. No-one at the SD will listen. They all make up excuses for her.
I am sad, but I think it needed to be done. Everyone said they were proud of me, I just hate to always have to be the one.... :sad:
