This is a rant...

One day last week a student went to the school office to advise them that he needed another form for something and said that he didn't have the original form because he hadn't been home for over a week because his single mother was being stalked and she feared for his safety. (The stalker is now in jail.) However the staffer said. "Oh, you're making that up. That just doesn't happen!". So, without checking at all she just called him a liar.

What planet is she from? What bubble does she live in? Come on. I know he is telling the truth, not because he has been staying with my son and I, but because in my experience, he doesn't lie.

Do kids lie? Sometimes, but not with something like this.

Teachers and staff are in a position of authority. One would think some would be better informed.

I sincerely hope there are no other bubble people in schools.

arghh...
