I have an update on the cut finger and phone call to the abuse department. So Thursday morning Rob came in over an hour late to school and tells me some lady came to his house in the morning and asked him about his finger. I asked him what he told her and he said, "I told her I cut it." "You said that you brother cut your finger," I said. He shook his head and said "no." Then he said his mom was in the office talking to the principal. Oh joy. Sure enough, two minutes later she marches over and says, "Can I see you two in the hall?" (to my aide and I). She asked us if we called the department, and we both said, "No." Then she said, "Well, I didn't think you would call over a little cut on his finger."
I was pissed. It's so illegal for her to even ask who called. It's a completely confidential process. Later that day I come to find out that other teachers at my school have called the department on his family before.
Then on Friday morning I was reading a story, and there was a picture of a kitten sleeping in fresh laundry. When I asked, "Why do kittens like to sleep in fresh laundry?" Rob raised his hand and said, "Once my cousin made me get in a dryer and closed the door and I went around and around." "That's very scary. Did you tell your mom?" I asked him. He said, "Yes, she didn't say anything."
I rest my case.
