And those of you that read me whenever I actually decide to post a blog now that I'm not one to use the hate word and mean it very often...
But I hate my son's school.
So we covered the bullying thing, didn't we? If not here's a recap. Since September the kids at the middle school have chosen Jovaughn to torment. One day he's fat. One day he's smelly. One day he's anything they want him to be. The boy has come home with torn clothing, fat lips, bloody cuts and even a sprained shoulder. I have been contacting the school with phone calls, notes, and emails. TO no avail. They didn't answer me.
Then Jovaughn came home near tears one day. He'd been slapped at the bus stop and one of the boys caught it on video on his cell phone. He later showed it to Jovaughn and told him it was going up on YouTube. Well after searching YouTube and not finding anything I called the school... again... and this time I was understandably mad. I told them that if they did not call me back and handle this situation, I would be standing at the next school board meeting to complain about the school and that if I ever found the video on YouTube I was going to sue the school for exploiting a child. It was a far reach but it hit home. They called me back.
She said that she was going to call Jovaughn down and have him write out a statement. Well that was done and this afternoon she called me back.
She talked to one of the kids and even searched his cell phone and could not find the video. She talked to his father and he said the boy didn't have acess to the internet through his phone (Hello, must not know much about cell phones and how the data can be transferred to a computer and uploaded from there...hmmm) the other two kids didn't have the video on their phone. (I'm thinking in the three weeks since the incident, it might have been deleted)
So no action was taken except to tell the boys that if they keep up the bullying they will be punished.
I hate my son's school. If I had a car I would so enroll him in another school.... I hate his school....
hate...
Single and blogging is stuck in a hate loop....
