Mom and principle had a blow out?

The principle had been running by my 6 year old sons bus. She and another person were on there way to breakup a fight between some high school kids.She claims she saw my son pulling another girls hair with both of his hands swinging her head around.So she took him by his arm off the bus and yelled at him out side.He got back on the bus and the kids said they could hear her.He cried all the way home.The girl he was doing this to was a girl I babysit everyday.And his sister was sitting right there. They all came home telling me about it and the little girl said he didnt do anything wrong.So I called the principle and talked to her and right away started acusing me of calling her a lier.which after talking to her you can tell she was in the wrong and she knew it she just had to stick to her story.So I told her to never touch my kid in that way agin.And she hung up on me.Should I apoligize.

Call the Superintendent!

Mom and principle had a blow out?

No, definitely not. If anything, I would make a report or write a letter to someone above the principal and keep a copy so everyone has this incident on record if something should ever happen like this again.

Mom and principle had a blow out?

heck no! the principle has no right WHATSOEVER to touch your son REGARDLESS of what she "may have" seen.

you are a protective mother, and not being unreasonable at all. make a note of this incident (date, time, situation) so in case she does something like this again, you'll have proof. it may sound extreme, but for a grown woman to go clutching the arms of 6 year old boys and get immature/defensive when called upon it...who knows what she might do.

good luck!

you should not apologize. there is nothing wrong with defending your child. whatever the situation was, is now over, and calling to apologize might start things up again. It's also only the beginning of the school year, and the principal may do other things that upset you during the year

Mom and principle had a blow out?

no you should not apologize!!! whether your son was right or wrong the principal has no right to touch your child in any manner ever

Mom and principle had a blow out?

Wow that was hard to read.

That was extremly rude of her to hang up. You shouldn't apologize, since she was being rude to both you and your son. She should be the one apologizing.

Mom and principle had a blow out?

Were you yelling? If so, I would apologize for that.

Mom and principle had a blow out?

Heck no! Find out who her boss is and complain! She should apologize! A teacher at my son's school got fired for touching a kid. She grabbed his shoulder so he would listen to her and bruised him. No one should touch your child at school.

Mom and principle had a blow out?

No, you should definatly not apologize.

1. She should not have pysically touched him at all unless in a positive manner.

2. She should not have brought him outside the bus to yell at him. That is not acceptable as it can RUIN a childs self esteem.

3. She should have also spoken with the little girl to make sure she had seen properly since you said they were rushing off to a fight.

I would push for an apology from the principal to my son. I would bring my son, the little girl, and my daughter into the principals office and let them tell thier story. If an apology is not given, I would go right to the board of education.

It is important for our kids to submit to authority. But when authority is down right wrong, it is also important for us to teach our kids that they are not helpless and can stand up for themselves.

Her actions were totally unacceptable. I think your next call should be to the schoolboard and, if necessary, a lawyer.

Mom and principle had a blow out?

Call the princabal in the morning and let him know that because he offended many that you will file a report to the board. Tell the board this exact story. Also inculde the children and have them either write there own letter or sign yours.

Mom and principle had a blow out?

the principal was in the wrong write a letter to the school board

Mom and principle had a blow out?

If your son was swinging a girl around by the hair, what should she have done? Given him a cookie? Of course the girl is going to tell you he didn't do it, so you don't get mad at her. I'm so sick of parents fighting with the school when their child has been punished for doing something they shouldn't have.

Mom and principle had a blow out?

Hell no!!! She needs to apologize your son, and everyone else on the bus who had to see the way she acted!!! She shouldn't have put her hands on the kid in the first place!!! Call the school board on that one.

Mom and principle had a blow out?

I think you should take your son, his friends that you baby-sit, and make an appointment with the superintendent of your district, and make the principle aware, that she cannot act in this fashion. That was soooooooooo totally inappropriate.

And the principle should apologize.

As a member of a school board, if I heard something like that, our principles would be in front of the superintendent.

hugs and blessings
