The Rollercoaster never ends....

Comment Published at 15:1015:108 comments8 comments42 Visits42 VisitsReport
The rollercoaster of emotions never really ends in life does it? We all struggle with it day in and day out...Some of us handle it alot better than others don't they...As most of you who keep an eye on my blig know I have my ups and downs on a regular basis with Aidan...He is unmedicated at the moment for his own health reasons and life has been a bit touchy right now...He went off them himself and now the doctor is looking into changing his meds to a more suitable one for his illness...Yesterday He went off to school and we had had an incident a couple of weeks ago that had left him unable to attend school so he had missed a certain thing in his class...The teacher had the class in a circle and told them they were going to be quizzed on it...Two kids asked as they hadn't been present for it if they could sit out she said yes...When Aidan asked she told him NO you have not been here by your own choice so no you can sit it...this upset him no end as he knew he would not know an answer...When she got to him and asked him he answered I don't know miss and her reply to him was you ask??....Well she laughed at him and so did the whole class she then went into detail in front of the calss well maybe if you had not been away you woud know the answers...then the words why do you even bother coming to this class at all she smiled and they all still laughes at him...She then move don to the next child and asked him a question as the class still looked at Aidan smiling...Now you tell me...What gives a teacher the right to humilate a child in front of his peers like this..A teacher who knows of his mental instability...A teacher who knows of the reason why he was not attending school for that known time?? What give any person the right to humiliate a teenager in front of their peers to make themselves look good?? Well the headmaster myself and the education department say she had no right....Where did she learn to do this?? was it uni as she learnt to become a teacher?? I think not...there were legitimate and extenuating circumstances that my son was not at that school that week and she knew them she knew it was linked to his mental state and still she chose to do this to him...I am really hurt that a person would try to put him in a place again that was not good for his health after knowing all the details??? My questions will be answered....I will make sure they are...And then as she publically humiliated my son she will publically apoligise to him...On a different note..Tiana left for camp yesterday for 3 days...She was soo excited about the whole event but I soo miss her...It was soo quiet last night at tea.. there was less conversation around the table and the question that went around by the kids was I wonder how she is enjoying it in this rain lol..Michaela admitted she missed her lots and told us all she is her best friend and her sister...told us how lucky she is to have her around even if she is messy and stole her favourite bra which mind you is too small for Tiana...Oh dear teenage girls hey...they are so fickle LOL....I miss her heaps she really does add some life to our house....Well That is all for this blog... I am going to move my lounge room around today to try to make things look a little more comfy in there....hehe so till later bye all and take care....

What a bully
Oh my this sort of behaviour makes my blood boil, what an utter B....!! We all worry about other children bullying our kids, but a teacher! It is totally unacceptable, and I hope that the apology is coming Aidans way very soon, I think all those sniggering classmates should be joining in the apology aswell, for being so small minded. Wish you luck

That's shocking

How dare someone with so much responsibility treat anyone that way, Teachers are huge role models to their students, a lot of the time we look at kids who misbehave and blame the parents.......what about the teachers role in this? What is she teaching her other students about tolerance and acceptance???

I hope Aidan gets his public apology.

I just don't understand teachers that are mean.  What is the point?  Good luck with this.

what a bitch(excuse the french) i understand teachers have a huge role to fill, but she could have shown more maturity theb that towards your son.... Hope it all gets sorted, as what a way for him to think, well bugger school if he aint getting the respect....

Hope your daughter doesnt get too wet, and i can relate missing your kids when away, as i missed brodie heaps when he went on camp, but they have a ball, and thats what counts for them..

Hope your arrangements for your lounge goes well, and try not to pull a muscle, and keep it clean........ Have fun.......

Terrible
I know teachers sometimes have a very stressful job but what she did is so wrong. You are right there is no excuse.  Hope you get an apology.

Dreadful
She has totally abused her role as a teacher
You cannot ever abuse your position as teacher in that humiliating fashion
She publicly upset Aidan so she should publicly put it right too
Let her be the humiliated one
That is disgraceful behaviour

Awful
That's just awful, I hope you get that apology for Aidan VERY soon. It would be bad enough if she didnt know the reasons for his absence, but as she did.. that's out & out bullying. Glad the head teacher seems to be agreeing with you.
