Well Turns out it was a huge misunderstanding! At the parent teacher meeting everything got resolved although I had to remember to breathe and relax half the time! I was really frustrated I have just had so much on my plate right now that I really didn't need a mess with these teachers,After my "Vacation" going awry and not feeling well I feel like I'm backed into a corner with no way out! The principal was pretty much convinced about her teacher being perfect and all and sending me a note which I know damn well she didn't however it didn't help Rene much since the teacher had talked to him supposedly 2 weeks prior to the Winter Program and he hadn't told me about it, so they were convinced as well that he was lying.Now I was wondering where had I gone wrong with my child? I know he didn't mean to lie he was just upset and worried about being in trouble yet the whole lying thing infuriated me.You just do not lie to me especially since I had asked him if the teacher had spoken with him prior to let him know he wouldn't be participating and he assured me she hadn't.I had a long talk with him and let him know just how awful the lying was and how it caused such miscomunication between the teachers and I.Rene was really upset and said he felt really bad and didn't mean to upset anyone however we still had a mess to fix so I took him with me to the parent teacher confrence and had him talk with the music teacher and explain why he hadn't told me about being asked to not sit on the satge where the wires were.The music teacher said he wasn't in trouble at all with her she just wanted me to talk with him about how she asked him to not go near the wires and still did.He apologized to her and to me and said he would be sure to tell me next time.I felt bad because he started crying and said he felt bad.The teacher was like it's ok,but I wanted him to know how important the truth is.So we both explained that to him and I told her if she ever had a problem to call me as I had told them before and she assured me she would,Afterwards we went and spoke with his regular teacher to get his report card which he is doing really well and improving on behavior.So long story short both he and the teachers were confused because neither one had talked to me but all is well again at school for him now.I still think those teachers are complete idiots and are very rude!I had told them many times before "CALL ME!!!" and they didn't and they just have ugly additudes towards children which the principal said she would get on.She'd Better!! And as for me.I feel like crap! for the past 2 days I've had a sore throat was nauseated and have had the worst headache ever.I suppose it's some kind of flu.I had to wash yet again today,jeez that is one job that NEVER ends lol.Oh and on Tuesday I finally got enrolled in a G.E.D program YaY! it''s all done online except for the actual final test so this allows me to take the classes at home! which is sooo good for me right now. I'm really proud that I have taken the first step.The teacher had said that the longest it could take for me would be maybe 3 months but with me passing the assesment test it could be shorter,oh I really hope so. So I have something to look forward to.I'm really trying to stay positive but it's getting sooo hard,there's so much to do everyday and so little time......

Hi hon,
Thanks! I hope that this will find you feeling a bit better and with less washing to do. It is really good to hear that you got things straightened out at the school. At so young an age why would a teacher think that it was appropriate to talk to the student and not include the parent? You can't leave kids in the position to go home and tell on themselves even if it wouldn't get them in trouble. *sigh* I swear I think they forget that these aren't just short adults.
Take care,
Aidan

Hi, I'm so glad you were able to get everything straightened out. For the life of me I can't understand why teachers make things so difficult for the children & parents. My best friend had a terrible time with her little boys teacher last year. It came down to my best friend making an official request for her son to be removed from the teachers room. Families of today have enough stress they don't need this added stress.
Congratulations on enrolling in the GED program!!!!! I'm positive you are going to fly through the program and have your GED in no time! Good luck & the most sincere wishes to you!!!
