[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with PP about PTSD. I’m a PP who posted about my DD having her own safety plan because she was the target of a child’s explosions. When the child was in control, they were friends. But when her friend had an episode, my DD had to separate herself by putting furniture between them and then run across the hall to the other 1st grade teacher’s room until they could clear the other girl from the classroom and the hallway.

I knew and respected the parents of the other girl so I went along with the safety plan nonsense for way too long until the girl was removed to go to a special emotional support program in February of last year. But I’ll never forgive myself for the time before that, especially before I knew about the explosions in the classroom. [b]For the entire year including the time after that girl left, my DD cried nightly at bedtime because she was dreading the next day. [/b]She was behind on reading and her math was full of random numbers and erasings. She was put in remedial groups for both. I wrote it all off as post-pandemic adjustment, like a fool. Sometimes my DD falls asleep and wakes up and says she’s scared about school the next day, and [b]we have to talk through how it’s safe this year until she falls back asleep. [/b]This fall they accelerated her in math and reading- [b]it turns out she is quite good at both but couldn’t concentrate long enough to do either last year because she was always on alert for the next evacuation.[/b][/quote]

Wow, wow, wow.  Reading all this about your daughter and her experience breaks my heart.  Please give her a hug for me tonight.  So glad it is getting better for her now.  No kid should be afraid to go to school because of how another kid will act.  Wow.[/quote]

This sickens me.  My SAHM mother needed a “break” from her kids and refused to pay for private school when i was in a similarly potentially dangerous situation at our “neighborhood school.”  This mother needs to be in therapy and so does her daughter.  Your daughter will never forget how you failed to have her back.[/quote]
