Principal and teacher say: We'll contact the student and his mother. We want you to feel safe and blah blah blah. Whatever!

Teacher said she moved them to separate groups but my son still talked. Um, he will talk when you put 5 kids at a table together, expect talking. He is also immature for his age in that regards but getting better. There are only 4 kids in the class who are still 7. The others are 8 and 9 already. He's working on his self control.

Debating this weekend on him being homeschooled or not. He hasn't taken his year-end tests yet and he needs those on his record.

Update on neighbor child: He waited the 40 minutes we were in the meeting after school today so he could walk home with my son. His mother and/or boyfriend was not home. I sent him down to the office to stay there and watch tv until she came home. I am done dealing with other people's children at this particular moment in time.
Good for you! Good luck.

If he's getting free or reduced meals at school, homeschooling isn't such a good idea.

New update....

The other child involved came clean and told the truth...his punishment was to stay in from all his recesses (big whoop if you ask me).

The neighbor boy is not allowed to come over and walk to or from school this week because she got her knickers in a twist when I didn't watch him on Friday.

Any chance you can say or do something to twist the knickers a little further and have neighbor boy not be allowed to come over or walk to school next week, too?

OP, I feel like being a matchmaker and fixing you up with DADTOBE, up above. This way you and your son can get out of your unsafe school and neighborhood and have a better life.

Those of you who say you would be marching up to the police or school. Have you lived in gang infested areas? Opera I wouldn't do that. I would quickly and very quickly pick up my child and LEAVE. Go to the homeless shelter if necessary away from the gang areas. Find a homeless shelter in a nice area where they will help you out and your son will be safe.

You are right the school year is almost over. Today it would be over for my son he would NOT go back to that school. Are you worried about a lease about money? Honey worry about your boy. You don't have to leave him behind.

I've been a foster mom for years take your boy and do the right thing. If you need pointers contact me. I will help you find community resources in a SAFE area.

go to the police these are people who don't watch the news. Snitches get killed people. This mom needs to take her child and PROTECT.

Excellent point. There is no excuse in the world to still be at this school. There are resources and help.

When you have some kid with a sharp blade slicing into the back pack..it's a matter of time that the slicing of flesh occurs..I remember when my kid was in high school..We were a rural family who always lived in beautiful safe locations.

Some how we ended up in the city..He attended an urban school that has a cross section of every kind of kid. One day as he was walking along the side walk he made way out of courtesy for an older boy...The other kid took this as some sort of insult..that courtesy was a show of dis-respect..totally a crazy twisted set of values...The older kid made a gesture that he was armed...

My son is bright blonde and blue eyed..most of the kids were black and brown...He had never been submerged in such an atmosphere...He came home and I asked him what he wanted to do..He said he wanted to quit school...I said if you think this is better and safer..then go head...I would rather have a son that is alive with no formal education than injured or worse with a second rate formal education..Now he has control over his life and environment and is doing well............


The idea that you are forced to be part of a barbaric and dirty school system is not right...leave the crap hole and go else where...no one can force you to live with the cruel primatives.

lol...the homeless shelter (one and only "complex" in our city) is 3 blocks from us and I wouldn't be caught dead in there.

"somehow" ended up in the city... ok...


I was thinking homeless shelters aren't usually in "nice" areas.
