I have to share this, Or I should say I have to vent. Not to go into details because I will be up all night. My daughter Emalee has been having the hardest time with this one girl at school. After about the first month of school these group of girls do not like her because she is Hispanic and she acts caucasion. They told here she was stupid that she looks hispanic and dresses like a white girl. Well, this just bugged me to tears. I just don't get how some girls can be so rude and mean. Emalee has been dealing with her all year. Last Friday this girl and her "posey" gave her such a hard time. They were yealling at her in Spanish and telling her she was ugly and they wanted to beat her up. (those are nice words)Ashlee, her sister just pushed her onto the bus and told her to just go. These girls literally tried to pull her off the bus to harrass her. We have reported this behavior before and now were were going back to the school to report it again. I don't understand how this brand new School district can employee such stupid people. I asked the school if they had any type of "Bully"Program and if they had a 0 tolerance for Bullying at school. They said NO.. I said WHAT? So I asked, Do you just keep giving kids chances all the time until they come to school with a weapon and hurt someone. Of course there was no answer to that question. Let me go back one more step. When this bullying started happening at the beginning of the school year. Emalee was told that she and this other girl better not be back in the office for this same reason of they would be suspended.. WHAT? Emalee is the victim here. I later found out that this Girl being the bully has a HUGE behavior problem and takes classes for her anger.. I asked the stupid councilor. So where and who does my daughter go to when she feels scared at school? Who is going to protect her. How many days does she have to come home from school afraid and hurry down the street so she isn't followed. So, I could'nt handle the stupidity anymore and had to let my husband step in. He made a few phone calls and talked with the PRINCIPAL. Well, he basically said I will hold you responsible if my daughter is hurt at school. One more incident and we will call the police. I have to say. I'm not thrilled with this school district here. I feel as if these teacher and administration at the school are there for a pay check and that is it. They don't care about these kids.. I'm exploring other options as soon as I can...
Remember, the saying. It takes a Village to Raise a Child... WRONG.... Like the little blinkie says on my blog.. I've seen the Village I'll raise my own kids... I just want school to be the way it was when I was a young girl. It is sad that my kids have to have experiences like this. How would you deal with thi situation? How do you get the school district to start thinking about student safety here? I just don't get it.
Sorry so Long, I just can't stop thinking about it..
