i'm so mad!

lol yes we are from nf, ny and we are looking at houses on the island, we heard wonderful things about the schools there.
Quoting WesternNYmom:
Yikes. I am sorry. Are you from Niagara Falls, NY by any chance? I had to ask, because I read in your post that you went to Niagara University, and then you mentioned Maple Ave Elementary. Sorry to get off the subject. I am from Grand Island. I have a son in Kindergarten and my daughter is in 3rd grade. We have a decent school district up here and the Middle school and High school are near the top of the list of the best schools in Erie County. Check it out. If you want to chat feel free to pm me. Good luck.


Good luck with the house hunting. I have been here for 7 years and love living in this town. Dh grew up here. My kids love their schools and their teachers. In fact ds got upset when I had to keep him home from school when he had the stomach flu a few weeks ago. He wanted to go to school.

I would be down in the principal's office every damn time! They THINK they can push you around because you're young and won't do anything. As far as the bathroom thing? I would go to the principal and demand a meeting with that psycho teacher and tell her to her face that if you EVER hear from your son that he was denied a bathroom break you WILL be calling your lawyer.

I would have reacted the same way. A teacher isn't anyone special. They are human just like the rest of us. They put their pants on one leg at a time as well. You threaten my child? I'll be seeing you. You won't be liking that visit either. I would press charges so fast the teacher wouldn't know what hit them as they fall to the floor looking for another job.
I'm a really nice person to everyone. Until you prove to me that being nice and professional isn't getting across to you. Then I'm momma bear.
You don't go and harm my child and expect me to not react to it.
All of those points on this thread, pissed me off. There is no way that a teacher should be treating a child like that. No way I would permit it.
I hope you can move really soon. I'm sorry that you and your children have had to go through this.
I don't know much about the school my son will be going to yet. He's in prek right now, and doing wonderfully. I love his teacher and therapists. As far as I can tell about the school he will be going to though, all the kids seem to really enjoy going. I know the jr high and high school kids are nice. At least most of them. All the ones that drive are pretty cool. Not to many adults will wait for people to cross the road and then turn onto that road... All the ones here do. They talk to me and my son, and DH. My DS's teacher keeps communication open with me. She lets me know when he does really well and also lets me know when something happened that isn't so good. She also tells me how she handled each situation as well. So far I wouldn't change a thing about how she handles anything. She is really good with my son. Of course his classroom is only 6 kids including my son. I know that will change. Hopefully by the time it changes, though, he will be ready to deal with that many kids in one room.
OP... Your feelings are totally okay. No one has the right to tell you that you have no right to feel as you do about the things that happened to your son. Did you over react? In my opinion, no you didn't.
Did this post ask for any advice on how things were handled? No. You were venting. No questions here. All this post was for was to get something off of your chest. NO one needed to reply at all.
If you have nothing nice to say, it's usually better to keep your mouth shut. Especially on a vent post.
OP, I hope things go better for you very soon.
Blessed be.
