So upset!!
VENT: Before I had my baby on April 4th my three older children were sick. My two older girls have medical insurance through their Dad, and I was trying to get their insurance card from him for almost a year. He I guess didn't want me to have all the info, because he gave me a toll free number but not the info I needed to get a card much less anything else. Well, they missed about a week of school and I couldn't get them into the Doctor without proof of medical. So there was no appointment for them to go to...along with no written excuse for their absences from school from a doctor. I explained to the school that until I had that card, I couldn't make an appointment or do Urgent Care, and it wasn't an emergency issue, so I couldn't take them to the ER(the hospitals here will tell you to make an appointment or go to Urgent Care because so many people go in for non-emergency things and it takes longer to get to the ones that need attention asap). The school said that was fine. Turns out it wasn't...they turned the absences over to the State, and I had to go to court because they didn't excuse the missed days(grrr). Court was fine, and I explained everything to them, they gave me advice...great! My kids have been sick a lot since we moved into the apartment because there is mold and a hole in my kitchen ceiling that has mold in it...that's a whole other issue in itself, but I'm calling the Health Depeartment tomorrow(I'm done dealing with the apts). Then, come to find out, my oldest daughters teacher isn't very nice to her and some of the students in her class. She came home with a permission slip for a field trip, handed it to me and started crying. Seeing my 11 year old daughter cry pissed me off instantly! I asked what was wrong. She said that her teacher told her that she couldn't go to the field trip because she had missed days, and only children who come to school everyday deserve to go to such things. WHAT?!?!? This bitch is so lucky assault is illegal because I wanted to go down to her school and beat the breaks off her!! I didn't let my daughter know this made me wanna crack her teachers skull open, and I explained to her that every child deserves to go on a field trip and learn all they can. I told her that her teacher wasn't being very nice, and that she was in the wrong for saying that to an 11 year old little girl. Her teacher also lied in her statement to the courts, and I'm super pissed about that too. I plan on talking to the Principal and then making an appointment for the superintendant as well. I really try to be a nice person, because I want to be a great person for my kids to look up to, but they are mistaken if they think I'm just going to let it go. What her teacher is doing is mentally abusing my child...why become a teacher if you're just going to yell at the kids and be mean to them?? One of her other students, who is a friend of my daughters told me that she yells constantly at them. This woman has another thing coming if she thinks she's made herself a great career with teaching...
Phew...I feel a little bit better lol sorry if it's a little jumbled, I'm upset over this.

I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE proactive parents!!!
You are absolutely right, her teacher doesn't have the authority to say who is entitled and why. I am so happy you are involving the superintendent! That'll show them you mean business!
Gooood luck!
I'm planning on putting my kids into a Native American school here, and I told both my girls about the switch. Well, my daughter is very honest, told her teacher about the switch. Her teacher told my daughter she needed to know when so that my daughter could clear her desk. Now my daughter doesn't think her teacher wants her there anymore, and that she doesn't like her...ect. The switch it for next school year... :-/ My poor baby girl feels so bad about herself now.
