Your worst experience with a school or school system

The first grade teacher in FCPS who thought it was a good idea to tell my child that her father was a killer because he fought in Iraq.

My son (3rd grader) said, "Oh yes I will." ... and he did. It's a long story after that but he told the reading specialist and to stop a shit storm from happening he was given a small part.

That's both horrifying and tearjerking. And bravo to your kid!!!!

I asked my DS how he felt about it and he said, "well what do you think, I hated it." I asked him if he was able to get out of their grips and he said, "of course not, there were three of them." The girls were playing and being silly and I do believe it didn't traumatize DS. In fact, I think he forgot about it pretty quickly. Anyway, I talked to the principal and they basically swept it under the carpet. Had my son been a girl, I'm sure it would have been a different story.

Was he evaluated by a therapist? Just saying your kid may be trying to put on a brave face esp if the incident happpened in front of his friends. Hope those kids were punished for bullying /sexual assault and no others went thru the trauma.

No, I didn't evaluate because I was worried about making it worse for him, hoping it was all innocent and move on. No punishment. We left school.
