So after the meeting this morning, J was to speak with T to get his take on things as well as G to get hers. I had let T know that it was ok to talk to J about things, that he would likely want to ask him about it, but not to talk to G about it or any other of the teachers, its just a family thing and if he needs to talk it out he can talk to us or to the principal or if he really has to, his homeroom teacher is ok too. He is so forthcoming he would talk about it to anyone and its not something that really needs to get around, gee arent I nice to think of G on this one.

First words out of Ts mouth when he gets home from school today was "My reading teacher talked about the 'secret' to the WHOLE CLASS!!" After I picked my jaw up off the floor I had him tell me what happened. She announced at the start of class and I quote from T "T's parents are mad at me, so Im not going to mess with T anymore. He can do whatever he wants. He doesnt have to join us." She then directed the class (sans T from this little speach) to open their reading books. T pipped up and said "I will join you." She, however, ignored him for the rest of the class. Not even responding when he raised his hand to ask a question for clarification on a direction. After class, he approached her directly, walked up to her (brave boy:P) and said "I wish to talk to you" to which se replied "No, Dont say it, Dont say it" and walked away to her desk.

Now what I want to know is why the heck is she bringing the entire class in on Ts woes? What does it accomplish to tell a class of second and third graders this personal business that is between T, his dad, me, her and the principal as mediary? (soon to be school board or even lawyer at the rate things are going and how angry I am gettting) I'll tell you what. To make T feel uncomfortable. To put T on the spot. To alientate him to his classmates and make him look like the bad guy. To single him out and make him feel bad. To make T feel like he did something wrong, which of course, he did not. Tell me. Who is the adult here?

Secondly how is he supposed to learn now? Granted we want him out of this classroom regardless, but this just amplifies things tremendously. If she ignores him and will not speak to him and refuses to teach him, how is he to learn squat?!? He isnt. Talked to K and he said to tell T that if he needs clarification or help to go to someone in his group and if she gets mad at him or that other student for talking, he is to respond to her 'Well if you wont help me, I will need to find someone who can.' While I am greatful she wont 'MESS' with my child (ie touch him) This is simply rediculous.

Monday cant get here fast enough now. Two more days, he just needs to stick it out two more days. If anything rotten happens to him tomorrow, I will have Kris pull him out of school early on Friday. Will have him stop by the homeroom teachers to get any post reading work he will miss to do over the weekend. Allow him to skip reading. Make a pit stop to the principals and explain why. To requst that something get put into place for Monday. Sigh. This is just assanine.
