Guest guest Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 So some of u know I work at a rough elementary school. If you r my fb amigo you also know one of my lovely 5th grade students freaked out on me today, called me white trash...ect. She also verbally insulted my baby:( I have pics of my kids at school in photos and as screen savers. I'm not ashamed of Ben. I know he looks and acts different than other kids his age. Her commenting on my child was meant to disturb me on a personal level- which I did not bat an eyelash at. Whatever. What bothers me is that someday my amazingly strong and beautiful baby is going to be hurt by ignorant foul mouthed peers that will directly attack him for his differences. This makes me sad and, well, pretty pissed off. I'm ridiculously dwelli g on the future and just feel tired of it all tonight. I wish my son could be like any other kid but he isn't. It's not just his back it's everything else included with his syndrome. I think people are so cruel and heartless sometimes. Although I handled the situation appropriately at work I now feel angry about the whole thing. I wish I could make things better for each and every disabled child. It hurts my heart and makes me so sad. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 I saw this on fb Tame and I'm so sorry. I didn't know she also made reference to Ben as well. I wish the world and espically children weren't so cruel. I too wish I could take all the disability and pain away. Ben is lucky to have such a knowledgable, smart informed mother as you. You have helped me sooo much with the autism stuff. Sorry you had a bad day. Love ya, Mel Tame <dazies2001@...> wrote: >So some of u know I work at a rough elementary school.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 I totally feel for you, I am 27 with scoliosis and metal rods in my back, and now my 3 year old is showing mild scoliosis. I always worry for him that he might end up facing the adversities I do, but hopefully he will get casting done and not end up like me.The truth of the matter is, that we can make the best choices for ourselves, and for our kids, but sometimes life just gives you a hard pill to swallow. It's how we handle these adversities and keeping a positive self-image that really make us great--not having a life without pain or social injustices. It's a life-long battle when you have scoliosis. As a mom, I feel everything you feel, but as a scoliosis sufferer myself, I have learned that it is possible to live above this petty world and become a kinder, more compassionate, down-to-earth individual simply because of the deformity. I'd rather be the kind, humble me that scoliosis created than some ignorant individual with no real problems to over come. <3From: Tame <dazies2001@...>infantile scoliosis treatment Sent: Wed, November 17, 2010 9:50:11 PMSubject: Arg So some of u know I work at a rough elementary school.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 With a mom like YOU, your son will be just fine. :-D Keep your chin up. Don't stress about tomorrow, just try to build fortitude in your son, yourself, and your family TODAY and each day build on his self-esteem, self-respect, and ability to cope with the hard things in life. He will become everything you want him to be, because he has the love and respect of his family--the people who matter the most!From: Tame <dazies2001@...>infantile scoliosis treatment Sent: Wed, November 17, 2010 9:50:11 PMSubject: Arg So some of u know I work at a rough elementary school.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Oh I don't even know what to say.......I want to be so ugly to and about that rude 5th grader! I am so sorry Tame you had to hear that and go through it. She obviously has NO respect for anyone! It sounds like you handled it well. I am not sure I could have done the same. When it comes to my children I end up acting like a child myself. Hang in there girl......God made him perfectly!

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 She is a mean spiteful child who doesn't respect others at all. She was suspended today. It was just a cheap shot on her part to try and rattle me. Fiddle sticks on her:) You k ow what they say about karma... I try to not get pulled into their Ricky lake drama!

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Tame I'm so sorry you had to hear that! I was a 5th grade teacher at a pretty rough school too b4 I started staying home, so I know the mentality of the kids you deal with. She's obviously a very hurt little girl to be placing such hurt on others. This is one way you might try talking to your son about mean kids when he's presented with them (all kids will at some point). People who hurt others this way are coming from a very bad place. I dont say this to lessen what youre feeling at all-- I'd have probably broken down in tears right then and there! Just trying to offer some perspective so this doesnt get you too down.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Youre right the child has major issues. I'm over it. The worst part about working here is that the kids know you can't reply to their attacks. They know what they can and cannot get away with and they push you as far as they can. Needless to say my children do not attend the school I work at:) We have a week off for thanksgiving so I can refill my patience levels....
