Talking with my trusted teacher friend, learned that the principal is out of town til Monday. K said he did mention it in brief when we set the apt to meet with him and G, that it was for Monday because he woudl be gone. I must really be out of it not to have caught that.

Seeing as how I had told T that if G did anything to hurt or humilate him, he could get up and go straight to the principals office (he said T could, definately) and now he isnt there, we arent keeping him in school for reading the rest of this week. Its only two days. Monday at the meeting, it will be explained why he wasnt in class and how things need to be expidited rapidly.

See now I would have thought that with G knowing about the upcoming meeting on Monday, she would have been on her best behaviour with my child. I figured she would have kept her mouth shut, maybe ignored him, but I wouldnt have expected her to humilate him verbally in front of the class yet again. How convienent. If you know now that you cant touch, do something so maybe his peers will ridicule him or question him about later. Hurt him mentally and emotionally instead. This woman has no soul. I swear she doesnt.

Since she had the gall to do this while the principal was still in the building, we didnt want to find out what she would do to T while she knew he was gone. T is in school right now, wrapping up lunch. he has cursive for 15 mins after lunch, and then when the children go to reading at 1, he is to collect his homework that he will miss later in the day from his homeroom teacher and just come home at 1. We will repeat this again tomorrow.

I at least have some peace over this decision. My heart isnt weary and sad, for I know that for today and tomorrow, T is safe and has a break from all of this. Monday we face this woman head to head. The gloves are off. She has a lot of explaining to do, and frankly nothing she has to say can fix what she has done or make it better.
