They started the year with a fantastic sub, but she got permanent placement and had to jump at the opportunity. We understand that. We'll miss you Miss Guild. One day Miss Guild had to leave early, so her sub, Mrs. Guild (her mom) stepped in. Then Miss Guild had to leave and a new sub came, for 2 days. Monday they are supposed to meet with the real teacher and find out what her plan for the year is. I wish we could get a straight answer from the school about what to expect. They tell us they don't know. They avoid meeting with us, administration averts their eyes from all of us standing outside the classroom if they have to walk by us. In the mornings they never look directly at our table in the gym. Its really quite sad to me.
Julian's cousin is in the other Kindergarten class, Julian asked me yesterday when she will be getting her new teacher. How sad that he thinks you get a constant stream of new teachers. Hopefully they will get this under control. If we don't have answers by Tues I am calling the superintendent. Does anyone have any suggestions other than that on what I could do?
ALL of this stuff, that is interrupting life, is starting to influence Julian's behavior in a negative way. I'm trying to be consistent in my discipline. I'm trying to show him that some things don't change, but I feel awful punishing him when I know a lot of what he is doing is just acting up out of frustration. I'm frustrated too. I'm lost and am not sure what to do anymore.
((((Mel)))) It sounds like you have a lot on your plate. You are right and you should call. Involve the school board. This is not right and they should have had it all put in place before school started. It's hard for little ones to start something so new such as school and Kindergarten is a big step for them. I can't imagine how hard it is for them to not have any direction and everything changing day after day. This could really set a bad course for some students who may already get frustrated with school because of this. I would 100% call the school board and go from there.
ReplyDeleteHang in there! I hope you feel better and your Grandmother starts to do better as well.
You are doing the right thing. Be in their face and YES go to the superintendent. I wouldn't even wait until Monday. They know they aren't doing the right thing (or at least this isn't an ideal situation) or else they wouldn't try to avoid you. Sorry things are rough and I hope J will be back to his bouncy-self soon. (()) Prayers for Gma! Call me.
