Hi everyone, hope everyone is doing good. Kaleb has had a rough week at school this past week, on Wednesday May 14th he got into trouble and the other 3rd grade teacher was taking him to his support teacher that deals w/him when he gets out of hand @ school, well he got mad at her and shot of his smart mouth (he usually has a smart mouth when he has to do something he doesn't like to do), his smart mouth drives me crazy. Well the smart mouth comment he made to the teacher was (he had to go to the office cause his support teacher wasn't in her room) " I want to blow up the school and everyone in it ", so at 120pm on this past Wednesday at work I was on a call and I saw my cell phone blinking a call that was coming in and it was the principal's office #, (I have her direct # stored into my cell phone), so when I saw her # come across I immediately knew that Kaleb had done something kinda serious. When I finished the call I was I on I went and called her back to see what she wanted and what Kaleb had done, she told me what he had told the teacher and that he was getting a one day out of school suspension on Thurs. May 15th cause they have a zero tolerence for actions like that at the school. She also told me that this wasn't the first time he had said that, she told me that he had said that on his 1st or 2nd day at the school. This was the 1st time that I was informed of him saying this, so as you can imagine I was pretty furious w/the principal and said to her why wasn't I notified the 1st time it happened cause this is a serious matter I told her. The principal's response to that was well his support teacher explained to him that he can't say those types of things when he gets mad or angry at someone or something and that Kaleb understood what his support teacher said to him. I told her that, that doesn't matter that it was taken care of at school, it also needed to be dealt w/at home as well. I was also furious w/the principal cause I had an appt. w/the Psychologist last Wednesday on May 7th and Kaleb had an appt. w/the Psychiatrist on last Thurs. May 8th, I could have brought this issue up to the docs last week when we saw them, but she told me of the 1st time a week to late, I never told the proincipal that we just had appts. w/ those doc's the week before she told me about both times that he had said that. When I got done talking w/the principal I immediately dialed the Psychologists direct # to his office phone and told him what was going on and to call me back and leave a voicemail w/any suggestions he had on the situation, cause I was kinda clueless on what to do w/this situation. He called me back and gave me some good suggestions to use I am usuing all of them pretty much and his suggestions were to ground him from pretty much everything except for an hour in a half of tv time each night cause Kaleb needed some kind of an outlet to do something. Kaleb is grounded from his bike for a week (he's only allowed to ride it to school and back, to keep up w/his friend that lives where we do), he's grounded from cartoons and from going outside all day after school (I have to let him go outside otherwise he would drive me crazy). Well I will let ya go for now, I will share again soon. I will let everyone know how our doc appts. go this coming week, and how Kaleb's week at school was, my work is going well for me still. Take Care Heather and Kaleb.
