Well I have mentioned my ds sons problems with school and the fact he may be returning to our neighborhood public school. I called and asked the school about the 504 plan and it is avaiable but it would start next year if they felt he needed it. The principle was very nice at the time  I do know her from 1st grade and I have had some problems in the past. Well today my friend told me her sons teacher asked him if my boy was really coming back next year. this was the same teacher my son had in first grade. I kind of felt like they were gossiping about me or bad mouthing my kid to his new teacher already??? I am a little offended. Should I be? I felt that was a confidental coversation with me and the principle I havent even registered him yet. I really had not made up my mind yet. What do you guys think? |

Babytay It depend´s... on how your ds and theacher got together last time, were they fighting? was there a problem, could it be the same theacher next year. If you answered yes; then I might think it´s kind a akward of them to speak about your ´ds return. If the answer was no; then there should be no harm on this one. Eather way, it could have been just plain old curiosity ;D They might have heard rumer´s, wanted to know if those were real  Sorry I´am not more help to you. If you hear some negative about your son´s return, then ofcourse go right ahead and go get them  ! Otherwise, I think you could wait and see how it goes. Marja |

HI finnmom I dont know what to think. My sons 1st grade teacher was okey she did have problems with him but she is always telling everyone how smart he is she really thinks he should be a grade ahead if he could behave. she wont be his 3rd grade teacher it will be someone else I am just hoping it was all positive I would hate to come back on the wrong track. I hate the way our children get labeled I feel kind of sad about it my boy is really a good kid. You know he never gets the attention my other kids get partly because I think everyone believes he is so bad. My own family does it even my dad. My older boy has even said something about it. My older boy told my dad that was his bother and he would never leave him out of anything he is very protective at times. hate to get off track this is a whole different post I think I am on a soap box  |

Hi Babytay ... I agree with Marja ... I think this is a "wait and see if anything else occurs" situation ... Also I know from experience over the years with my own son that he can tell me something which is perfectly TRUE ... BUT ... when I have learned the background and the "fuller" story it wasn't "quite" as I read it the first time ...
Having said that however I would definitely keep an eye and an ear open!... because if there IS gossip this wouldn't be good ... !

Babytay, I agree with everyone else, and after years of going off on people and regretting it, you may want to consider this.
It may be possible that the principal was asking about your son more as a matter of curiosity and how the old teacher handled him. Maybe getting ready for the following year or trying to decide what teacher or class would be best suited for him?
It is also possible that they were just gossiping, and that would bug me also. Especially if someone actually came back and told me!
Good luck...Becky
