So, in the first part, I only went into what happened the fist two times he got kicked off the bus and the behaviors that he was having at school. Let's jump into part 2.
I had gotten a call on Friday, february 17th, that my son was suspended from the bus again for 10 days and that he was having a really good start to his day and that they hoped he would continue to have a good day. I went about my business for the day as usual.
I then get a phone call about an hour or so after I get the phone call and an email from one of the assistant principals. The phone call I got second was from the actual prinicpal saying that my son needed to be picked up because he was being bad. I told her that I could not come get him because, as mentioned in part 1, we only have one vehicle. The whole time I was talking to her on the phone,she was screaming at my son and then wondering why he wasn't listening to her, and he was trying to run away from her. You can't just scream at him and expect him to listen.
I then get a phone call about an hour later saying that my 6-year old son is heading home in a cab. My inital thought was okay, they are sending a teacher or someone with him in this cab to bring him home. NO! THEY SENT HIM ALONE!
I was furious! I have never been so furious in my life. I went to the superintendent and told him that something needed to be done to the principal that made this decsion; anything could have happened to my son! I also talked with law enforcement about this incident with my son. I am also thinking about suing the principal for doing this to my son. He was so scared.
I also contacte the special ed director, who was also very upset that this had happened and that things were not done correctly, she apologized several times and set up a great plan for my son. I am so thankful that she was able to make this plan for my son. This should help him tremendoulsy now that all of the staff members are on the same page when it comes to my son.
Now, I ask everyone following this journey what would you do if this was your child and how would you have handled things? I think I handled it correctly. My anger did take over a bit, but ultimately things worked out in my favor. My fiance said that I was being too harsh. I think that when it comes to my children or any child for that matter, there is no such thing as being too harsh. We have to protect our children because nobody else is going to. They can not protect themselves, and I think that there are too many parents now that do not stick up for their children, but when something happens to them they play victim, but in reality they didn't take the steps to prevent it from happening either.
I kept my son out of school for a whole week until we agreed to something for my son. I did not feel safe sending him back until everything was taken care of for him and his safety. All I kept hearing was how they are conecerned about other kids safety, but my child is important too not just the other children.
I do not want this to happen to any other children so what actions should I take to make sure I put this to an end. This is not the first time that someone has complained about this aprticular principal; she has treated several children badly just in the past couple of years. I do not feel like she should be working with children at all. So, tell me what would you do? Keep a look out just in case there needs to be a part 3.
