That is like calling water wet, but such is life with hyper sensitive Janney parents who think their kids are perfect and should never be corrected.[/quote]

You seriously think UMC parents at any other school would react differently? Or is this just another opportunity for you to troll Janney?[/quote]

I’m an UMC parent at another highly regarded DCPS school.  We once had the unfortunate experience of having a school aide slap our child during aftercare.  Our child has some SN and related behavior problems and struck the aide first.  Before we’d even blinked, aftercare had notified child protective services.  Plus DCPS had filed a police report and launched an independent investigation.

Anyway, I don’t want to reveal more than I already have, except to say I am grateful that the parents at our school did NOT behave like some of the Janney parents in this thread in response.  Also, in our case, the aide involved was deeply remorseful and not someone who had ever (to our knowledge) behaved like that before.  We did NOT want the aide to lose her job and become destitute.  It was a highly regrettable incident.  But we definitely did not regard the aide to be an overall threat to kids, ours included.

In any case, I posted up above that other parents should stay out of it.

So it sounds like your situation was entirely different and doesn't allow conclusions about how any parents at your school (please realize that a few posters here don't represent Janney parents in general) might have behaved in an analogous situation. I don't have kids in Janney aftercare and have no idea what happened, but it sounds to me that the school is dealing with it appropriately. I also agree that there is no way for any school to rule out the possibility of any staff member ever acting in an inappropriate way.[/quote]

Actually, it sounds like her situation was very similar. I am almost positive that I know the parent and child from the above post, and I only recently heard of this event from my child. As soon as I read the OP of this thread I thought of the similar event at our school. The school dealt with it effectively (as far as I know, and as it sounds from PP's account) and [b]without creating a schoolwide crisis. I cannot for the life of me understand how the parents on this thread are getting from that email from Janney's administration to AGH, COVERUP, ALERT THE MEDIA.[/b][/quote]

I cannot for the life of me understand how you can conclude that there is a schoolwide crisis based an anonymous thread on DCUM. I have two kids at Janney and I'm not freaked out nor have I heard of anyone being freaked out in my real life interactions with people at the school.[/quote]
