I was that kid for many years. Troubled childhood, got kicked out of two schools. But once I had teachers who gave me just a modicum of respect, I was fine.
Oh man, I can relate so much to this story because my kids are in public school right now. It’s one of my biggest heart aches sending them there and knowing it’s just hurting their poor souls. I’ve been actively emailing the principal and learning how the staff choose to react and handle my request. I am walking on a tight rope, a never ending battle.
I often say that my day job gets in the way of my photography. By the time I can work on it, I'm mentally exhausted and unmotivated. My soul has been sucked from me. But I get money, so there's that! Photography doesn't pay. I can relate to that kid.

The teacher did not want dialog about her student is out of balance with the purpose of the school’ intent.
I understand martial arts and it’s importance to youth.
As an Emergency Department RN (ret) I rarely believed the story of my patients until I started asking questions.

It really is, and I’m wishing you great luck! ❤️
Bless you, Margo, for taking time to validate this young person's anger, even if you couldn't solve his problem.
Pretty ironic that this is a school supposedly focused on social-emotional skills, but the teacher couldn't be bothered!
Ain’t that the truth!

Oh, run run run and catch your sucked soul....it's ready to be put back into your body and it will be a very good soul to you!
No one believes kids, that's why I never told anyone about that dirty old man who put his dirty hands in my white cotton panties.
Horrible, Ruth.
I hope he's rotting somewhere horrible.
he is!!!
