This afternoon right before dismissal Jessica tripped on her own foot and bumped her knee. She came and showed me that her knee was red and it hurt. Any other kid I'd just say, "Are you ok? Tell me if it still hurts in 10 minutes." (usually they forget it even happened) With Jessica, however, it was like the fire alarm went off. I took her into the office, got her an ice pack and went outside to tell her mother (who waits outside of the school for 45 minutes before dismissal and gossips with parents). When I told her what happend she said, "How did she trip?" and I said, "On her own foot." Then she immediatly walks over to jessica and asks her how she tripped. Jesica said that she didn't know. Ha! Can't blame any one but your clumsy kid for this one lady!
Speaking of which, the meeting with Jessica's mom, the head of Special Education, the principal, etc. is tomorrow. I must admit I'm anxious about it, but what's really going to come of it? Probably nothing. I and the school have done everything we can to please this crazy lady - and I have it all documented to prove it.
Yesterday I was at a conference and the principal was there. After she left half day (of course) one of my colleagues told me that she thinks the principal is a good judge of character, even if she doesn't know you well. I responded that I am completely insulted by that. When the principal first met me (over 3 years ago) she accused me of being an "elitist" because of how I said, "I though I was testing my own students" when they told us who we were testing for the statewide assessment. So this other teacher then told me, "When we came to this conference in October and you walked in with your Obama coffee cup from 7-11, the principal turned to me and said, 'Well, I didn't know she was a Democrat.'"
No, I'm a rich bitch Republican because I'm white and from the south!
