Lady, you sound like the whackjob, not these people. Your non-compliant child went to the dentist to take xrays and couldn't have them taken because he didn't follow instructions. <br /><br />If cutting your baby's hair is SO EASY, why didn't you do it yourself? So quick to throw stones.<br /><br />Finally, if you've spent ANY amount of time in a child-care setting, you'd understand that insane claims children make-up routinely. Vouching for your child's truth telling abilities and being personally affronted when some statistically unusual occurrence (a shared birthday with a non-twin sib) speaks of your mental fragility, not the pre-school teacher's. In case you cannot perform basic finite mathemati8cs, there is a 1 in 133,225 chance two sibs share a birthday. You need a life and some perspective. <br /><br />PS: GOMER?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-55381512842031000702019-06-02T12:31:34.147-05:002019-06-02T12:31:34.147-05:00My daughter's current teacher.

I call parent teacher conferences the state sponsored "lie hour" (no way that's my kid you're praising).<br /><br />But I've never had an ounce of school disciplinary action for either of my kids, ever.<br /><br />This teacher has some sort of vendetta against my kid. She's threatened to expel her, write her up, or suspend her at least once every two weeks. I could understand.. OF she was doing something to deserve it. But no, not once have we been contacted by the teacher for my reason.<br /><br />The kicker is, she does it to her in front of the WHOLE CLASS. Then, on top of that, only calls out my kid. If another child is participating in the conversation, or whatever, she says nothing to them.<br /><br />Personally, I think that if she wanted to become a trained bully, so she could pick on someone littler, she should have picked a different profession.<br /><br />But it's my kids word against hers, so who is the school going to believe? <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-45282920213462801152019-06-02T12:24:16.109-05:002019-06-02T12:24:16.109-05:00Worked with a Kindergarten teacher who told me &qu...Worked with a Kindergarten teacher who told me "Why do I need to praise them?

I've had the occasional, "You must hate kids."thrown my way. Usually it's as a result of trying to keep kids from injuring themselves or others, or suggesting that a child who keeps screaming might need to be somewhere else for a while.<br /><br />I want to answer, "No, but I hate crappy parenting" You can't really answer back to a parent when their child is there. It's only going to humiliate the child. And I think a lot of parents know that when they make such remarks. <br /><br />People who use their children that way make me sick.

So, when her orthodontist referred us to an oral surgeon to have several teeth pulled, I fully expected the doctor he chose to be used to dealing with fearful children, after all, he himself deals with 99% child patients, right? Well, we went to the oral surgeon's office, and it was a cold, sterile looking office, not child-friendly looking at all. I still had hope though until my daughter was in the chair (a feat in itself), and barely comfortable, when the doctor pulls over the tray of surgical implements right in my daughter's line of sight! The dental assistant had just turned on the gas at this point, but my daughter wasn't "out" enough to not notice the "tools" right next to her. Her eyes turned into saucers, and she began to cry. The doctor told her to "suck it up," with no bedside manner at all, and when she continued to cry, he stood up in a huff, told the assistant to turn off the gas, thanked us, and told us he couldn't work with my daughter. Thank you, and goodbye. I was completely speechless! I have never been asked to leave a doctor's office before when a kid was simply behaving like a kid. She wasn't misbehaving, she was just scared. You can bet I called the orthodontist's office and let them know he shouldn't refer children to that oral surgeon. I will never forget that horrid man. I think even the dental assistant was embarrassed/surprised or at least uncomfortable with how the doctor treated us that day.

When she was 2, she had fallen on the sidewalk and broken her two front teeth. Over time, they started to wear away and she only had two little numbs left. Anyway, the waiting room was huge with lots of toys and video games. There were a lot of people waiting to be seen so I figured they must be good. My daughter was called into the office and they had multiple dentist chairs in one large room. The hygienist came over to do her thing and my daughter has a REALLY bad gag reflex. This woman kept getting irritated with my girl and I thought it was odd that she working at childrens dentist office. Anyway, when the Dentist came in to look at my daughter's teeth, I understood the attitude. He was practically scolding me and my daughter. Telling me that I need to be the one to brush her teeth. I told him that I did. He said that she would need to have her two front teeth removed, that they were abscessed and if I didn't have it done then her adult teeth would be damaged. He was dick. But one of things I noticed, was that while I was getting my daughter's things ready to leave the exam room, there were a couple of teenage girls in the chairs waiting to get their teeth cleaned and this creepy dentist was so pleasant to them. Making them laugh and smiling at them. It creeped me out. I was new to the whole dentist thing for my kids, so I made the next appointment before leaving. On my way home, I thought, why am I trusting this loser's opinion? I got a second opinion with a MUCH nicer dentist and he told me that my daughter's teeth were not abscessed yet, but they would be if I didn't remove those teeth. I had the procedure done and ever since then her dentist LOVES her teeth. He wants to use her xrays to show other people what their teeth should look like and she has never had a cavity. I think that the creepy dude is no longer with that practice, but it was in Worcester, MA.

I was in that dreaded chair with the paper bib (the one with the chain around it) and I was going to get a fluoride treatment. Well, they put the pink gook in mold and shoved it in my mouth and left the room and closed the door behind them to attend to other patients. Well, a large piece of that damn gook somehow wormed its way our of the mold (probably because they overfilled it) and it got stuck in my throat. So there I was gagging, choking to death and the door is closed. It took awhile before they realized something was wrong and then they came rushing in the room and the dentist had to reach his hand down my throat and yank up a glob of gook so I wouldn't die. L.M.

All I heard at one of our first conferences is how my daughter had behavior problems that I needed to fix. She said that my daughters disability was physical and not mental and that there is no reason she shouldn't understand the math when every single other kid does. My daughter has Cerebral Palsy and has extensive scaring all over the right side of her brain. It's totally feasible that it could be affecting her ability to process information. She then started writing little notes on her classwork like "if you used your brain you would figure out the answer". She was a 1st grade teacher, and very no nonsence. My Husband and I assumed that she was probably a teacher accustomed to teaching older grades until she called me in for another conference, I called her on her BS and she had told me she had been teaching 1st grade longer than I had been alive..Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11863459562373859985noreply@blogger.com
