Girl, you step on every TOE up IN that school! Don't be afraid to be pushy. You have every right to be angry. Threats like that SHOULD NOT be taken lightly nor should they be tolerated at that school. They should have been doing an investigation pulling kids out of that classroom, calling parents, pulling that teacher out and getting a report from your son about how he obtained that note. I am sorry, but I have a son too, and I would be just as up in arms. Maybe you should go to the PTA as well if you feel like the school isn't doing enough. I would even go to the police. Your son should feel safe at school.
Counseling sounds like a good option, maybe if you can get in there with him as well. 12 is a hard age, he is almost ready to become a teenager, and I'm sure he feels like he has nothing in common with you. Maybe you could make quality time with him and take him out for pizza and talk to him. Tell him about how serious this is and how you're worried about him. Let him know how much this note has upset you. Sometimes if you share something honest and sincere to a person, they share something back.
Please keep us all updated on how this turns out. I'm sure your son has someone in mind who did it. Maybe his girlfriend's ex? I would definately get all over that school board to take it seriously. If they can show the kids in the school how serious it is, the kids will tell most likely tell on whoever did it. I'm so sorry you and your son have to go through this. I hope you're able to resolve it soon and end up with the benefit of a closer relationship with your son. |
