• Oh no she didn't Pt. 2

  As I said earlier, I heard some disturbing news on the math teacher homefront. I thought for a bit and got myself calm before I emailed the cranky bitch teacher. I stated that due to the new information that Whitney would no longer be attending her class until the resolution of the matter. I then explained to her what I had been told. Her response was unreal. The first line convinced me that I am hearing a closer version of the truth from Whitney and her classmates. The first line stated;

  "Oh wow.  Perhaps you would like me to have cameras installed in my classroom so that you could see the truth of this situation. I welcome you to come by any day and observe my classroom."

  Seriously? I am a concerned parent. I have been trying to resolve this situation for almost nine weeks now. You flatly refuse to allow her to transfer out, but then claim she is such a disturbance that your ability to teach has been  hindered?

  Matt was here and helped me word my response. I said;

  "No, I do not feel that a camera is necessary. I would hope that your professionalism as a teacher would have kept you from engaging in the high school drama that this situation has indeed become."

  I said a lot of other boring stuff, but suffice it to say that if she is going to be that rude to a parent I can only imagine how she is dealing with the kids. She hinted yet again that perhaps I was not experienced enough of a parent to understand that teens tend to "exaggerate the situation". Really??? I don't have four teenagers; I have no clue how they act. Freaking idiot. I responded yet again that I was a mother to eight children, four of them teens. I had heard every conceivable thing that they could come up with and in this incident I felt that the situation was not conducive to my daughter learning.

  Matt thinks she is under the impression that she is dealing with a dumb redneck. I don't doubt it seeing that Whitney still has somewhat of her southern accent. That woman has no idea whom she is dealing with and is in for one hell of a surprise next Thursday. Yes dear woman, I speak clearly and intelligently. I even understand the "big" words. Had Matt not been here, I am fairly certain the word "whore" would have found its way into some part of that email.

  I realize that teachers have one if not the most difficult job. I also realize that for every ten fantastic teachers, there is always one that isn't so fantastic. Whitney has always had issues with math. She went around and around with her teacher last year, but each and every time he and I spoke, he had nothing but positive things to say. Even Whitney says that for all the times he came down on her, she learned from him. You aren't always going to like your teachers and I have never (with the exception of that nut in forth grade that called Garrett stupid) sided with my child over a teacher. Whitney is a smart ass and doesn't know when to shut her mouth. However, she has asked numerous times for help and been denied. It has reached a level that is no longer teacher/student but more angry adult/pissed off child.  Just sign her out of the freaking class already and let us all move on.

  I did tell her that I wanted her to refrain from speaking of Whitney in any manner during classtime. If she didn't mention her then we wouldn't have to concern ourselves with "miscommunication". I have not heard back from her and I really hope that I don't.

  Matt is home and trying to play nice so perhaps my night won't be quite the nightmare I thought. Later taters.
