<<<<<<barb, you did the right thing by walking away...as a teacher i

know

LOTS of women like the ones you just described. their whole

existence probably depends on organizing that damn haunted

house...then you came along and threatened them. so many

WOMEN...and i do think this is a woman thing...just get so WRAPPED up

in that petty social shit. you should hear the stories about the PTA

ladies at my school...arguing and fussing and fighting about stupid

party decorations for goodness sake!!! or, on a larger scale, WHO

will head up some committee.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Ok, OHHHHHHHH you make me feel so much better!!!!! First off, my NADA

is BPD and also a first grade teacher who is always in some sort of

mess. She drives me crazy calling little boys she has had " THE CRACK

BABIES! " My jaw would always drop to the floor~ I said mother, just

because the mom's had a problem with CRACK does not mean the babies

are messed up for life, as a matter of fact part of what I do is

research and in my research I found that babies born to mom's who

were using crack cocaine/cocaine had no problems by the age of 5! The

same age mother was getting these children. I told her all about the

findings, and had it on paper, her response was, " THEY are crack

babies, they are messed up and I DO NOT care what you say! You are

not the teacher. " Then I used to pound into her head that these

children were often pulled out of their homes and living with foster

families, aunts, or cousins. She always has to be right, and she

unlike you LOVES THE PTA, as I was complaining about the PTA in my

area and how they " CLICK " together, she told me her PTA was just so

great, helping her out, helping the school out yadda yadda.....In my

area you join the PTA to get your kid in with right teachers.

The women who have been slamming me behind my back have all been my

neighbors and go figure they are all PTA elected/ WHATEVERS....

I am not knocking the PTA (mother may be watching LOL) just the PTA

for our little Elemetery School.

I can so relate to both of u =) Thanks for sharing!
