Okay, I’m back, feeling relieved after settling with the principal, the teachers , and the mom. They agreed to move the K2 to another class after she got stabbed on the head with a pencil by a Special kid ( have autism ). This kid has been hitting her since K1. The teachers and the mom have been telling us that this special kid likes the K2 ( and another boy in the class ) very much. However, he does not know how to show affection gently. He’ll bear hug the K2. When she doesn’t want to play with him, he hits her. AND I tell you that he doesn’t hit like ordinary kids ( we found that part out recently, with our own eyes ). He really swings at her. We’ve been very patient about this whole thing, trying to teach the K2 how to protect herself ( from telling the teacher, to yelling at the special kid to STOP , to running the other way when he comes near ), and complaining to her, then, K1 teachers . Well, it didn’t work and lately the K2 does weird things , like she’ll bring several handkerchiefs to school. When asked why, she said she needed the handkerchiefs to wipe away tears when that special kid hits her. There’s also the twisted idea that it’s okay for a friend that likes you to hit you. People who likes you , does not hit you ! Don’t teach children that ! I have so much reprogramming to do.
So, the past 2 days I pressured the teachers for a decision. When the promised ‘ talk with the principal ‘ didn’t appeared the next morning, I told them through gritted teeth that I am not letting my child study in the same classroom with that kid and I am bringing my child home. I think the mom heard me. shit. It was said to get results, not to hurt her feelings.
The outcome was, the K2 gets to move to another class. The special kid’s mom have to go to school with him. I wasn’t completely happy. No apologies from the principal. She accepted a kid whom the teachers cannot control and hurt my child. Now, my child have to readjust to new classroom, new teachers, new friends all over again.
End of Story.
