I can't believe kids nowadays!

Oct 27

Today at school I had a crazy day. Well...it started off really nice with me and Julie ( the other teacher I work with) out of the classroom all morning until noon for meetings. Then, it all went down hill from there. I went to pick up the kids from lunch and I saw that they were outside on the field. I have to say that I hate when the lunch ladies take them out because they get soooooo crazy and it is hard to calm them down or they get into a crap load of problems. Well today was one of those times. As soon as I got outside, one of my girls ran up to me flipping out saying that so-and-so said they were going to rape her. She was visibly upset and said she wanted her mom to come in and so on. I couldn't believe that this was something I would have to deal with. After I got all the kids lined up and took them upstairs to the class, I spoke with my co-teacher and told her the situation. Well.....long story short. I had to call the accused little boys mom and she cursed like crazy on the phone wondering how he heard that and blah blah. She wound up coming in and almost beat the crap out of him. After I finally got her to calm down, she left him at school and she went home.  All of my other students had to listen to her bitch him out in the hall...it was quite scary and even though my assistant principal and the social worker were there, they weren't saying a darn thing. 


After all that, we held a meeting in my office with the six kids that were supposedly involved, me and Julie (my co-teacher), the principal, assistant principal, and the social worker. We had to explain to them what rape meant and that it was a serious offense to accuse someone of it and to be accused of it. The kids really had no clue what was going on and what their words meant. Basically, we never really found out who said what and the kids came up with ways to avoid this crap from happening again. I had to call all the parents and explain what happened. At this point, I had a huge headache and was upset myself. At the age of nine these thoughts of rape and doing "the nasty", as the kids say, did not even run through my mind. I didn't even know anything about that stuff.  Now, I hear these things from these kids on a daily basis. It is scary. Having to tell a little girls mom that a boy said he wanted to rape her was tough to do. I could only imagine if I was that girls mom, hearing this over the phone and the thought that my child was not safe at school. It is just mind boggling!  All of the parents I spoke to were very understanding and I got through it. You wonder if these kids are just mimicking the crap they see at home, or maybe it is t.v. Who knows. Don't you all wish you worked in the city?? LOL!  I am glad today is over!!!!
