To be FUMING by precious bloody snotty parents

[jesusofutopia]

This morning I took my children to school and was approached by 4 parents who had obviously 'planned' to speak to me together. They basically asked if I would re-consider my son's chosen secondary school for next September as their children are also going there and "don't want to be bothered by him for the next 6 years"

I asked what they were talking about and one of them got really snotty with me and said "He's managed to disrupt their education for the past 5 years, we're not going to put up with it all through secondary too".

My son has ADHD and yes he can be a handful but to say this to someone??!

Words fail me but YANBU

Insensitive bitches, how bloody dare they, sorry dont have any advice, thats shocking.

Oh my god!

That is terrible!!! And what a lovely example of tolerance they are setting for their children.

What did you say?

That is absolutely apalling. I can't even begin describe how disgusted I am that people would act like that.
and for you

How horrible! I certainly hope you are not taking any notices of these ignorant cows?

Apart from anything else, it makes me wonder what they've all been saying about him between themselves

Bloody Hell!

I keep getting more and more angry with them!

Shame!

that is bloody awful!!

That is so awful, I'd tell the school.

what did you say back to them

YANBU - what a shocking thing for them to do.

Wow. I really don't know what to say other than I'm really sorry.

I told them DS would be going to that school whether they like it or not. His brother goes there and it is a good school. What they're basically saying is that I shouldn't bring down the tone of the school and should send him to a 'crap' school so that he doesn't effect it as much.

I was then told "well we're going to tell you straight, we will be complaining about EVERYTHING (this was emphasised) that he does that disrupts the class and that means the head, education board and the press if need be so he could well end up being expelled by year 8 anyway" They then walked off shaking their heads as if I'M being unreasonable!

(Sorry to hear this is what I meant)

Is there only one class in this secondary school? Why can't they go talk to school management and ask not to be placed in your DS's class, if they are so bothered by his presence?

The B*tches. If they don;t want their DCs "bothered" by your son, THEY could choose a different school.
Or better still, they could have worked with the school to get the extra help that your son needs.

Mmm, on a previous thread Jesus was accused of being a troll.

A few weeks ago I heard them say "it's always 'that type' of kid that brings schools like K*** down" I couldn't say much as I didn't know for sure that it was my DS they were talking about (I do now, obviously).

I'd get in first and complain to someone about their behaviour.

So they think their precious darlings should get to the good school, and your DS hsould be sent off to a dump.
But don't worry, if the school is really good, they'll be able to deal with the ADHD and everyone will be happy.

Have you spoken to the school about what they have said ?

I just can't believe how horrible they have been .

WOW. What horrible, nasty women. I am so angry for you and your son.

I would write a carefully worded letter to the primary headteacher and governors of the school, maybe even an open letter to the local newspaper about inclusion and tolerance. Shame them. This is not on.
It is also not fair on their children - they will be learning from their parents and imagine the kind of insensitive, ignorant and opinionated people they will turn into.
I would also be tempted to make an appointment with the head of year 7 of the secondary school and let them know what happened so they can be prepared and informed about what nasty unpleasant parents joining their school. This kind of information is very useful to a school and can forewarn them if anything in the future happens. That way, any complaints by any of those nasty people will be viewed in context of their previous judgemental and insensitive selves.He/she might be able to make sure your child can have a break from them too and separate into different tutor groups for your son?s benefit.

God, I am so angry for you.

WTF, I just don't believe it! OMG what have they been saying about him all gossiping together?

It sounds like they have all got together and made each situation far far far far far worse IYKWIM?

No suggestions but If I lived near you, me and you would be walking into that playground this afternoon to give them what for.

Sorry, I do hope you are blowing this incident out of proportion, or there must have been a long history behind this vitriolic attack ...
