Well, I’ll tell you, it seems like it’s always something.
Rye was physically assaulted by a teacher this week at the zoo of a school he goes to simply for saying no to said teacher. We have tried to communicate nicely with the school, give the teacher the benefit of the doubt, and were hoping for some communication back that would resolve the issue. We were hoping that the school would deal with it with maturity since they profess themselves left and right as wanting to teach their students respect. But no. No such luck. Apparently the teachers and administration there all want to be treated with respect but don’t feel the need to model that same behavior. And apparently the students are reprimanded and punished for using physical force among each other or with teachers but the teachers are not held to the same standard. So, now we’ve had to call the sheriff’s office and we need to file a charge. Otherwise they sweep the whole thing under the rug, never mention it again, and I am left to mitigate my child’s fear and anxiety about going to school and feeling like the school has no rules to protect him. urghh.
Pathetic.
Ironically, that same day another one of Rye’s teachers, a special ed teacher, got frustrated with one of the students in that class and threw a complete tantrum in front of the class. She threw her supplies, including her glasses, up to the ceiling in front of the students and ran out of the class and down the hall screaming that she could not take it anymore and wanted to quit her job. Apparently it was quite a scene. Lovely.
Quite the education they are getting over there. The place is a complete zoo.
And the students are the ones losing out.
It’s sad.

That speaks directly to the administration at that school, I am afraid. A rudderless ship soon goes completely out of control.
Is this a public school? Go STRAIGHT to the admin building, with a written letter describing the situation, hand it over and ask for them to “stamp date it” right there, for proof of delivery.
NOT acceptable, and if it was your son, they would have called police or filed charges on him.
Document, document, paper trails are the layout of lawsuits, and you have one right now.
I think I would have called the police if the teacher truly assaulted your son. Does your son go to a regular public school, regular private school or a special behavioral school? My daughter goes to a special behavioral school in Naperville. She as an IEP at her home school that placed her there. I can’t imagine any of the teachers doing that to a student there. All of the teachers specialize in kids with behavioral issues and I can’t imagine that would happen there. A regular public or private school may not have the properly trained staff to deal with kids with these issues.
Yes, we have now filed a criminal charge with the Sheriff’s office. The whole thing was on tape and they have pulled the tapes. I’ll just leave it at that.
