Hi Vondie,

What state are you in? If corporal punishment is allowed there, I wonder if you

can have it in your 504 plan that he must not be punished in this manner? I am

so sorry you and your son are having this problem. You could threaten to sue if

they touch your son in this way again. Or you could give him permission to do

it back (that might only make it worse though- so probably not a good idea) You

could do what my mother told me to do if any teacher or principal ever touched

me in such a way. " Scream like you are about to die, Throw yourself on the

ground, close your eyes and refuse to respond until they have to call the

ambulance, because they think that they really hurt you. " At least they will be

afraid of what they have done and wonder if they have gone too far. You could

file charges of abuse against the teacher if it happens again since you have

complained about it they know you do not want your son handled in this manner.

Also, in PA, I think you have to give permission to the school to use corporal

punishment. Make it clear that you do NOT give your permission to use this form

of punishment. (in writing to the school and school board, school

superintendant....) Also write a formal letter of complaint to the school

superintendant about the teacher. Is there any way your son can be moved from

this class into another? Probably not this late in the year, but you never

know...

I hope you can get this worked out soon.

Hi guys. I hope everyone is doing well.

I am getting so aggrevated. I have to call the school again today. It

seems that someone vandalized the boys bathroom at the middle school. They drew

foul pictures and wrote some pretty gross things. So, they have made a new rule

that no one can go to the bathroom by themselves. So, the boys were told they

could NOT go to the bathroom. This will get pretty interesting, considering it

is written into their 504 plan. I understand where they are coming from to a

point. But, they could let them go to the nurses bathroom, that way they could

look in after they come out. So, here we go again. I get so sick and tired of

dealing with this stupid school. Its supposed to be a grade A+ school. Well,

in my opinion- maybe a D+. I guess we will see what will happen. And people

wonder why I am so stressed out all the time. It seems like there are always

idiots to deal with. This school has really been an experience. I love how

they take up for one another. I have made frequent trips and calls about the

*@# of a teacher that brabbed my son by his hair. I guess after the meeting she

decided she was mad. She has made her little whipping board. Basically

I was told that they are allowed by law, to use corporal punishment (sp?). I

guess she didn't take kindly to me telling her that if she touched my kids

again, I would come up there and give her the same thing. So, instead of

touching him, she thinks she can run her mouth and be very disrespectful to him.

I tell ya, if we were to meet up outside of school, it might now be pretty. The

schools excuse for her behavior is : " You have to understand, her husband

divorced her after so many years. " Well, what I have to say about that is -

find yourself another man (or something equivalant) and get off of my son.

Before anyone says I am being over protective- there have been multiple parents

complaining about her. Very mean Lady.

Well, I am done griping for now. I guess I'll go hit the St. s Wort

and hope it kicks in soon.

I am so sorry you & of all for ROBERT that had to go thru this from

an adult he is supposed to respect..........it hurts all teachers as

well.

This one should be reported to the school board-not her principal-he

shows where he is supporting her. If you have that in your 504 I would

push it to the limit . Don't verbal threaten her anymore .She can put

out a restraining order on you .especially if she has witness that you

said that. .. I once did that at a big PTSA meeting at my oldest son's

elementary school . The guest speaker was a legislature of our state

too.

They asked for any questions from the parents & I stood up & asked the

principal if it was true that she has a piece of rubber hose she hit

the kids with ?? She got red faced & said, " Oh that is just a threat, I

never used it " .EVERYONE started talking & calling out to them The

Legislature stood up and asked all to quiet down. Then he asked me where

I heard that. .I told him my 2nd grade son told me. He and a classmate

had that told to them when they were sent to the office. They were sent

because he & his friend, had started to crawl under the portable

(classroom) to chase a little lizard .they were returning from recess &

got caught up in this boy thing.............The " idiot " sent them ,

instead of dealing with it ...

Punishing them , whatever. -ANYWAY. ..This principal was moved to

another school . Lots of folks came forward with stories too.-DON'T LET

ANYONE TOUCH YOUR KIDS .They don't have that right. if you did it, they

would yell child abuse.

I am sorry to go so long , it just brought back those memories. It isn't

a new thing .All teachers should be monitored. -Remember I taught school

20 years . & have 2 daughters that are school teachers..............

Your boys need to be able to go to the rest room when they need to!!

Love to you & them..

LOVE & HUGS,

Vondie,

I for 1 do not feel as though you're overreacting. I think I'd fit right

into your shoes. Now I know that I'm not alone. I have to update my sons

504 but I keep putting it off cause I'm thinking their going to try to walk

all over me.....because of all the complaining I've been doing lately.

As for the corporal punishment.....I believe that if you state in writing

that you don't want that or even include in 504.....they are not, by law,

allowed to touch your child.....I wonder if children and youth can be called

on to come in and do something about that????
