you know what?
difficult child 2 is one of the nicest little kids I know. He's got his heart in the right place, empathizes with kids and adults, loves dogs and babies (except ours right now - he's in a wicked jealous stage, but talks to me about his "I hate Evie" feelings), but his true love is music.
The kid can listen to and enjoy just about any type - Big Bands, Rock n Roll, Rap, Showtunes, you name it (even likes symphonies - a special affinity for the Four Seasons by Vivaldi!), but his absolute favorite band is "The All American Rejects". He saved up his money and bought their very first recorded cd on Sunday. He went to school on Monday and told the class during "what did you do this weekend" section of the day that he bought it.
The teacher told him that she would bring a boom box into school and they could give it a listen during free time. He brought the cd with him Tues and Weds. and asked the teacher if she remembered the boom box on Wednesday. The teacher said "Oh, did you bring the cd?" and he said "yes, it's in my backpack". She went and got it out of his backpack and asked him "is this it?", he said "yes" and she proceeded to put it on the desk and snapped it in half and then cracked the case.
She looked at him and said "Here you go". And walked away. Now this gets better - difficult child 2 hadn't gotten home from school yet and another Mom called me to tell me what had gone on.
Now difficult child 2 is on a 50 point system...the best being 50 and the worst being 1. He came home with a 50. So now I know that not only did he not act rudely or aggressively to listen to the cd (she's really tough with points), but he didn't melt down when she did what she did. The other kid corroborated difficult child 2's story.
This is just sick! I'm waiting for a response from the school. Good news was that husband called them and got the Asst. Principal and basically told her that considering ALL of the allegations through out the year that this woman is psychologically a menace to these kids.
I would have been happy to just go there and kick her...
alright...I'll go to the corner!
