Jasmine is having Issues at school already and I am not a happy Mom! She came home in tears with a note that she wrote to me. It went like this (*teacher Name and other child’s names has been removed*)..
” Miss * Told me to shut my mouth cause *he* keeps hitting the bag of toys and I told him to stop and I said if you don’t stop I’m going to hit you and I was holding the bag of toys. I hate Ms * sooo sooo soo much I wish she wasn’t a teacher here and I wish she was fired and retired.
I am beyond pissed not because she got in trouble because I know she is a child but because it seems like every time something goes wrong it’s Always My Child who gets in trouble or gets called out. I am not the type of mom that is going to sit here and say my child is perfect and the teacher’s are just picking on her because I know my child better than anyone. I know that she does stuff and sometimes has a smart mouth I mean come on I AM HER MOM And I was her AGE before also.
But I will say I feel that her teachers want to always Deal with Jasmine’s Reactions instead of the actions that lead to this. She is the type of child that won’t mess with anyone except when provoked except of course her siblings. She is shy when it comes to others and more emotional than most children her age. When someone messes with her she has been taught to ignore it, and then tell the teacher if they keep on, Then If that doesn’t work handle it in her own way! So yes she will stand up for herself and Dammit I wouldn’t have it any other way!
It’s Always the same ones bothering here and getting her started and of course when you talk to the teacher’s they always want to say “that’s just how they are”,” it’s just kids” and add that Jasmine lets stuff bother her 2 much. WELL DAMMIT I TOLD YOU SHE IS AN EMOTIONAL CHILD! Does that make the shit they do to her right HELL NO! She tells them to leave her alone they don’t they just keep on. She tells the teachers and it’s always Ignore them. Well I am sorry it’s hard for us adults to Ignore stuff when someone just keeps bothering you what the hell you expect from a 9 year old!!??
I decided to call her homeroom teacher because this teacher is not even her teacher to see what is going on. Her teacher explained that she was not outside when this happened so she will have to check and see what happened and will email me later tonight. I also addressed other concerns that We are having with another teacher That Placed a book in her face when she was fussing with ONE OF THOSE SAME STUDENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MESSING WITH HER SINCE 2nd GRADE!
We have planned a grade level meeting with all the 4th grade teachers For Thursday. She wanted to stress that Jasmine was Disrespectful to that teacher last week but didn’t add that all jasmine “said was “Please Don’t touch me” and after that didn’t work “stop touching me”. Trust me Jasmine comes home and TELLS ME EVERYTHING GOOD AND BAD CAUSE SHE ALREADY KNOWS I AM GOING TO FIND OUT EITHER WAY!.. I guess the other teacher forgot to tell her that part. Umm hell yeah if you are going to call that disrespect then oh well it is what it is. But I am going to stress Now as A mom Don’t touch my child! If you have issues that bad with her Please send her to the office and Call me and I will be up there and We as adults will handle this together but don’t dare touch my child or grab her. I don’t give a damn teacher or NO BODY is going to put their hands on my child But Me without my persimmon but that would never be a teacher!
I also wanted to add that I have had issues in the past but never have had it where she hates her teachers and comes home crying or not wanting to go to school. So this is not me just believing everything or addressing everything she comes home telling me daily because trust me if that was the case I would be calling you every DAY!
Her Homeroom teacher says that she has not been having any issues with Jas but some small issues that had been worked on and improved. She is a very Nice Teacher and assured me that we will work as a team to get these concerns fixed with her other teacher’s.
I am not going to let my child get bullied by these same students for the rest of the her school years cause they don’t have any home training and I’m sure not going to let any Teacher have my child feel like she is the problem child when she’s not! So wish me luck!! Then next step will go over the teacher’s and if that don’t work I will keep moving up the ladder. I am not the type that is going to accept any less.
I hear ya! We’re currently having issues with my daughter’s teacher too. I may have to schedule a meeting with her and straighten out the issues but I am so irritated because my child is good (not always at home but at school we’ve never had any complaints about her), shy, obidient and respectful. She is also emotional and anxious. Teachers need to stay in touch with parents more and realize that even though they are at school with them most discipline needs to happen at home by their parents! Good luck with everything and I hope your daughter feels better about school soon!

To add to the students’ bullying, now kids have to deal with their teachers too. How sad, that there are teachers who can’t seem to handle their students. Especially for the younger ages, these are really the formative years and are very important. I hope you do get to work things out with your daughter’s teacher! Good luck 🙂
Sounds like the same crap Gillian went through in KINDERGARTEN I always got “they are kids, we teach them in kindergarten to keep their hands to themselves” Oh really I taught my daughter that when she was what 2… Jasmine is a lot like Gillian she would come home and tell me everything as well. I was always calling parent meetings. Finally the teacher got fed up with seeing me and bitched at Gillian telling her she wasnt to come home telling me everything. I drew the line right there called the school and talked to the principle of course it was “Miss * would never do not such thing” Yea whatever the following week they had request to transfer papers on their desk. I hope you get everything worked out.
What a shame this is happening, school should be a place she feels comfortable going to.
My son only just started kindergarten and so far so good, but I know somewhere along the line some of this will start happening…

Have you thought about setting a meeting with the teacher and if that doesn’t work, teacher and principal? It doesn’t sound like this teacher is trying to help Jasmine solve her problems.
As for the bullies, you hear more about bullies every day. It’s terrible.
I agree. Fight for you child’s rights. It is unacceptable that any child should be treated like that. Good luck.

Just remember that your actions teach her, so i would make her apologize for her behaviour too. Even though she may be getting some unfairness, she cant let someone ELSE dictate her. I am sure you will find a great way to show her because you are a great mom.

That sucks. I can’t believe some of these schools sometimes. They really only look after your own. I am glad you are being your child’s advocate. She needs to trust that you will get her through this. Kids are so young an fragile at this age and they really are still building all the social skills they need to deal with things. It sounds like these teachers are not being very patient. And if they are touching her in any way that needs to be dealt with. I totally agree teachers have no right to touch your child! Good luck at your meeting.
