I am so ticked at Logans school

sparkys2boys wrote: Yesterday Loagn was filled up and not feeling great so I sent him a note to stay indoors at recess etc because it was cold here. When he got to school in the morning and went to go in the principal (new this year and very strict and not kid friendly at all, I might add) stopped him in the hall and asked him where exactly he thought he was going. Logan told her he had a note for his teacher ( the VP) to stay in because he was not feeling well. She told him it did not matter to get outside where he belongs WTH... umm excuse me.. she underminded me.. the parent to my child.. strike one.

Today I call the school to speak to her and ask what the heck was going on and the secertary would NOT let me talk to her. She asked for a message so it could be screened and the principal would call me back if she FELT she nedded to.. OMG, your kiddin me right??? I asked when I could call back to speak to her and she replied maybe tomorrow.. maybe not I asked if she was in at all and she says to me I told you maybe tomorrow in such a nasty tone. Then I got mad and said well I AM SURE that the school board would be willing to talk to me on my concerns since apparently the principal of my child's school does not care to do her job so well or value the well being of a child under her care in her school and then I hung up. I am livid right now and really do half a notion to call the school board.

Sorry for then vent

luvbug00 replied: i'd call. Mya stays in becuase of allergies on high pollen days. I would contact the school board right now. How awful!

stella6979 replied: I would definitely call the board. You have every right to speak to the VP if you have concerns.

luvmykids replied: Call! I think they do that to weed out parents who are just whiny and don't have legitimate concerns but you do....but regardless, a principal should be available to the parents

BAC'sMom replied: I would be on my way to the school right now

Teesa®© replied: I, for one, had NO tolerance for that sort of thing and would already be AT the school I'd demand to see the principal and RIGHT NOW and if I didn't get in to see her then I'd make it clear that I would be calling the School Board the SECOND I got home. Well, that wouldn't totally fly for me, we don't have a phone and the school knows it, but it would fly for you, lol.

MommyToAshley replied: I know sometimes they don't allow kids to stay inside because there are guidelines that the kids must be supervised. And, they have to have so many teachers outside in the playground to monitor the kids. Regardless of the reason, the principal should have called you back and answered your concerns. There's no excuse for rudeness to your child from the Principal or to you from the secretary. Is this what they are teaching the kids? I'd definitely go to the school board. The principal and teachers need to be available to the parents. They may not be able to answer your questions right away, but they should give you a time that they will call back or schedule a conference... whatever the case may be.

Boo&BugsMom replied:
I agree. There is no reason for their rudeness, none at all. However, unless there is a doctor's note about allergies or something of the like, usually a parent's note about staying indoors doesn't hold any water. Usually if a child is feeling too under the weather to be outdoors, then they are too under the weather for being at school and should remain home. That was my policy anyways when I operated my childcare, and it's a policy at most schools around here. For medical reasons it's different, but for just not feeling well, they would get sent home.

I would however, call and complain about the rude and nasty tone you were given over the phone. There is no excuse for their behavior.

lisar replied: I would go up there but thats just me. I see the VP of Lexi's school everyday because he runs the extended day program, and he told me anytime I have any concerns he is more than happy to address them. And so far this year he has. He has no problem what so ever talking to me. And the main Principal I caught her after school hours and she stood there and talked me. She was happy to. And if I call up there all they say is hang on a minute it might take them a few minutes to get to a phone with this extension on it cause they are out in the school. Thats crap to me. If I ask Lexi's teacher to keep her indoors she does. Lexi will just go to another classroom while they are outside. There are plenty of teachers in the school there is no excuse for that in my book. CALL THEM!!!! And let us know how it goes.

CantWait replied: Here the schoolboard is VERY interested if the principle makes time for the parents and their concerns and that of the children's. I'd definetly be making a call to them to let them know what's going on. That's not right at all. She should be available to you if need be.

A&A'smommy replied: YIKES I would be ticked too KUP on what the school board says!!!

kimberley replied: i agree. definitely call the school board. principals have to be available to parents. period.
