Yesterday, I talked to the vice principal of Alex and Sky's former school. She was a HUGE bitch to start with. She started off denying that the bullying happened more than once. When I told her that Alex's teacher, Caleb's parents and Alex himself told me of more than one thing have already happened, she went on how safe the school was and that they had enough supervisior in the lunchroom and that Alex's classmates are very protective of Alex. But Alex's classmates are only 5-6 years old and they are not going to keep an eye on Alex all the time nor they should even be expected to. They are just children for pete's sake!! Then I told ehr that it doesn't matter because I still felt it was better to move the kids to another school. Alex has already said that he is willing to talk at another school and that the reason why he wouldn't talk at that school was because he was scared to. And guess what she said? She said "It sounds to me like Alex's running the show here." I nearly flipped on her!! I stayed calm while I explained that this is a hard thing for me to decide because there is not that many parents who have a child who chooses not to talk in school so I have a little support from a very few parents so I am mainly going with what I think is right for my child. She then said that it was my decision. Damn right, woman, it's my decision!! From the conversation, I saw a couple of things in her. She did not care about how Alex felt. She did not believe three people who have already said what happened. And worst of all, that boy is getting away with this. My sister in law thinks maybe she was friends of that child's family so that's why she's not even doing anything about it.

When I went back to the school to pick Alex's stuff up, Alex would not even step in the school. He demanded that I let him stay in the car while I picked his stuff up. Don't tell me that this child is not afraid of that school.

Being a mother means you have to confront idiotic people who obviously don't know what's the best for your child. Always listen to your insticts because it's always right. I'm glad I listened to mine.
