[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Think about how it’s going to sound when you make the complaint…. I mean it’s not the best thing in the world, but you seem like you’re looking for someone or something to blame.[/quote]

I am having this reaction as well. Maybe you didn’t give a good description of the event but really I don’t get it. Im a parent of a kid who made serious suicidal threats multiple times at school and had two almost successful suicide attempts. It is harder than most can imagine. But the world goes on outside the bubble of your crisis. I just don’t see your complaint getting any traction and you’re going to feel a lot worse when no one responds. What was going on with the teachers is not about you or your son. [/quote]

So you have found it acceptable if teachers snickered at your kid during a melt down involving threats of suicide? Weird.[/quote]

Of course not but that is not what OP described. [/quote]

It's exactly what was described. [/quote]

No it is not. Just because something happened In the vicinity of OLs child does not make it about OPs child. It sounds like the teachers were really trying to work with a child who was in an inappropriate placement which was causing harm. I am not willing to presume inappropriate motives to their actions  [/quote]

It does. It does in a child centered school system.  MCPS is not child centered.  This child was in crisis and everything in the vicinity of that child impacted the child. Obviously, the child was smart enough to pick up on that.  Self centered adults in an adult centered world didn't focus on the child and behaved inappropriately.

By your analogy a murder in front of a child, but not murdering the child should not impact the child.  [/quote]

Well said.[/quote]
