i just got an email from my daughter's KINDERGARTEN teacher...i'm so angry at ignorant people & the shameful things they teach their innocent children!!!!!!!!!!
the email...
"I just wanted to let you know of an incident that occurred at lunch today just in case Gabby comes home mentioning it or asking any questions about what happened. One student called another student a "nigger." That student was dealt with and then apparently (since I was not there) Gabby asked another teacher what the word meant and why it was bad. The teacher just ended it by saying, it is a bad word and we don't say it."
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I'm sad to hear/read this...but LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE....
1. Your daughter has NO CLUE what the word means b/c she's never heard it or been exposed to that sort of behavior.
2. Your children are in a school that does NOT tolerate that type of behavior and langauge and it was dealt with promptly and was not elaborated on (VERY impressed w/ both teacher's responses to you and Gabby--a personal email and "it's just not something we say..." without going into any more details.)
The word makes my skin crawl and my stomach sick--so I understand....and as for leaving your blog w/ a "negative" post--hey-do whatever you want--it's your blog! LOL! And I wouldn't have even thought of it that way!
How are you feeling, this week? I've lost track of your chemo treatments--was this an off week? ENJOY THE WEATHER! (sorta odd, considering everyone was sledding this week! LOL!)
i agree - i was happy with how they handled it...especially the immediate email! i do love our school - i was just totally shocked that 1 of my kiddos would b exposed 2 it already...i'm not naive enuff 2 think it would b a word they'd never hear, but dang - kindergarten?!
& yes, it's an off week - i have chemo #4 on monday, so this weekend i'll b feeling the best i'm gonna feel during treatments! ;0) daddy's gotta work, but we're still gonna have a fun weekend! :0)
ugh...and just when I was totally kewl with sending Tobes to public next year too!

Hey Sharon, This makes me so sad. It really is totally unbelievable that this happens in Kindergarten. What the heck is wrong with people.
My oldest daughter attended a Montessori school for pre-school and Kindergarten. I loved that school because their were so many different kids there, Black, White, Asian, European etc....except the really cool thing was that the kids never noticed that anyone was different. They just looked at them as friends. The different skin colors NEVER mattered. (sigh) I loved that place.
