I live in the state of New York.
I will explain this in as little words as possible.
I have 4 children. I moved to this area approximately 7 years ago. During that time, I have never had such a terrible time with a school as I've had with this small town school. Every meeting, every phone call, and every time they talk to my child, it has been a difficult situation. I do feel that my family is diliberately singled out. Almost every time my children went to the nurse's office, they were harrassed. She even went as far as to talk about me and make gestures to my children that I am a bad parent. On 3 separate occasions, the nurse has slammed her phone down in front of my children and screamed "she is on the damn internet again". Yesterday, my son, went to the nurse for treatment of minor poison ivy. During this time, she told my son she wanted to know why he had not been to his appointment with the doctor for his heart murmur. To explain - a couple of months ago, she told me that my son was checked by the schools physician and it was noted that a heart murmur was present. Well......I've known this for 15 years. He was born with a heart murmur and was seen by many, many different physicians. At that time (years ago) they told me he was fine. (Children's Hospital of Pgh.)
Now, to bring you up-to-date..........the nurse tells me that this has to be taken care of now and she has to have documentation on her desk SOON. So, I took him to the doctor's once again two months ago. The doctor scheduled an electrocardiogram for the school records. At this time, the winter had kicked up. The hospital in which I had the appt. with canceled with me twice. Then on the third occasion, my truck broke down, and I canceled. My son's appt. is now for April 23, 2002 (5 days from now).
So...while my son was in the nurses office yesterday for the treatment of poison ivy, she told my son that she wanted to know why he has not gone to his appt. He could not give her an answer because he didn't know everything I knew. She then stated "You know Joe, I can have your mother forced to do what is right"..................."If she doesn't take you, there are things we can do".........and so on..
I need to know where the line is to be drawn and what my and my children's rights are.....they should not have to be afraid of the nurse or the school.........my children have suffered enough....they are good kids and do not need to be confronted with adults that talk about their parents so badly. .........and, it is also the principal and office....this is a very small town...very difficult place....!!!!!
This nurse will not even call me...she will speak in front of my kids...
Any help or advice, would be so greatly appreciated.....
If you need any questions answered, please feel free to ask ALL!
thanks
