Ok, Mom's showing her ignorance here, what is a verbal list? Please
don't
say it's a list of verbs, then I'll know how dumb I am.



LOL! I read this and my immediate thought was, boy, she's gunna smack
herself on the forehead in a moment!!



Well, my defence is that I wrote that on a Weekend, and my brain stops
working at 2:15 sharp Friday (when I get off work). I need to save those
brain cells for week days. ;-)



Ok, disregard this response. Sometimes the level of my stupidity amazes
even me.LOL

LOL

Betty betty betty. I truly admire when we can laugh at ourselves.


Hey, I'd rather laugh at myself, than have someone else do it for me! LOL

I think an assault charge is in order - plus an AVO to prevent more attacks

David - who would NEVER allow a teacher (or anyone else) to assault his children
like that

PS and my view has nothing to do with any disorder the child may have - it is
simply that this is a degrading and humilating practice that is an assault

His teacher would tap over and over on their foreheads to get blood to their
brains. I had a conference with her about his. I did not like my child
repeatedly having someone thug him on the forhead. She made it seems as though
I overreacted, but with his connective tissue disorder and the fact I teach
them no one is to touch them, especially painfully and then...well, I am
confused myself, but I did not like it at all. How would you guys have handled
this situation?

Administration? NO. Police? YES

Geez Kate this a criminal assault on a child, and needs to be dealt with
through the courts

Kate: I spoke to her in "front" of the principal. Nothing is being done.
Crazy uh?
V

Very crazy if she did not stop the thumping. I would do what others
here have had to do and put it in writing CC'd to someone in
administration.

Yeah... maybe. I guess, though, that I'm allowed my opinion and that
was to either stop the abuse by removing the child or remove the teacher
for being unfit. Because the mother already handled the teacher's
thumping by letting her know that she was not to thump her child anymore
the child is safe. Calling the police would lead to an investigation
and denial by the teacher. It would put the school on the defensive.
It would get the teacher's union laywers involved. All the mother
wanted was for the teacher to stop thumping her child.

'Kate



And she did.

Yes she did but what about the other children? what about the children next
year and the year after and after...

Perhaps that falls under the heading of "not that mother's problem." We
cannot be responsible for everything at all times. Sometimes we have to
pick our battles wisely so that they do not further harm our children.

'Kate

Indeed it does. If it were more serious, I would, but nope. Not gonna do it.
Kate I am starting to get tired with the "not getting its"..you get what I

Yeah... I understand. I think it's because we're women. The fact that a
minority of "women" dumb down to the level of a tree stump and act like
little girls doesn't help.

'Kate


Insults don't help make women look intelligent either. Actually when one
insults, it can lead others to believe its because of a lack of anything
intelligent to say. Or other issues, in some cases.

'Kate

Too many "what if's" hanging about so I'll agree to disagree... Last thing
I'd worry about would be her denial and the school is there to protect
children and who gives a rat's behind about the teachers union... Not my
battle, I would have handled it differently... I protect my children and if
I can I protect others... Like I said I'll agree to disagree

You are right, you don't have to do anything... I do "get it" no worries on
that score... I understand that you don't mind that it could happen to
another child in the future... Like pulling your child out of the path of an
oncoming truck and watching another child get hit

Sign this "not getting it" ,

Got it LOUD and CLEAR
