So I have just come back from a meeting at my son's school. The meeting was meant to make me feel that the school was doing its best to sort out the problems that my child was facing. Instead I feel angry and betrayed.
Somebody told the school that I had posted a picture of my son and asked for advice on Facebook. Well no actually they made it seem that I was potraying the school in a bad light. There is no mention of my sons name or the name of the school but apparently I did a bad thing and now I have to make amends. The school governing body held a meeting to discuss the post not that my child is being hurt at school.
The number of people on my profile who know which school my son attends is very limited and the number who know how to contact the school would be even fewer.
I feel betrayed and I certainly don't want to ever post on FB again. They want an apology and a nice conclusion on the post what they will get is a ghost. I got home and closed my account.
At the moment I can feel myself retreating behind my wall. I don't want to deal with people and I certainly don't want to talk to them.
I want to sit in my little office at home and ignore the world. Here comes the hermit again.
Most of all I wish I never had to have a moments contact with that school again. Sadly its a small town and its the only half decent option.
So Ewan will go back there with their silly idea that they are going to be really careful and make sure nothing happens. I don't believe them.
Oi, so not on! What I would do is make very sure that they know hy have to protect your child. And you can post a picture of your child on fb whenever you want dammit. You do not have a friendly lawyer friend that can help with a little letter?
ReplyDeleteWhat the Heck! Kat, you should do the opposite. Post on Facebook with the story above and include the name of the school. You have every right to talk about the incident in a public forum. It is the practice of hushing things up and sweeping them under the mat that causes more harm than good. Instead the school should be working with you to sort out the problem, not against you to try and hide it.
ReplyDeleteLaager mentality - well there is a history of it in the area.

So sorry to hear! I hope your son will be okay? Karen at MomAhain@40
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear!
ReplyDeleteI do actually have a lawyer friend. Thanks for the idea I will talk to her tonight. What hurts the most is that someone I trust showed that page to the school. I am still seething mad and I really wish I could go back to that meeting and tell the principal exactly what I think of him.
ReplyDeleteTrue. I just really can't wait to leave this town. Small town mentality is starting to drive me crazy plus if I had a choice it is not the school I would have chosen. I will get back onto FB once I have calmed down and I will write a post aimed at the person who felt that they should share it with the school. Apparently all your comments and posts dissapear when you close an FB account and I hope its true.
