Hi, Michelene! First, how are you? Please accept my apologies for not reaching out sooner. However, I notified the Human Resource department on April 12, 2018, around 9:50 AM and spoke with Gilbert Roberts and request to be removed from the Camden Veteran Memorial's assignment. Also, the same day, at 10:05 AM, I attempted to speak with Kathy, in the Human Resource department but was disconnected in error. However, I called back at reached Brianna at 2:15 PM, in which I provided detailed information to all the incidents that transpired while working at the Camden Veteran Memorial Middle School. On March 9, 2018, at 8:30 AM, the school secretary addressed a complaint phone call made by Iyama's father, in which he complained the braiding of …show more content…
her hair. The father said due to doctor's orders, Iyam is not allowed to have any friction to the scalp because of a skin rash. I explained to the secretary that Ms. Reynolds gave the okay for the braiding of the hair and neither one of us were aware of her prognosis. However, the secretary said, "I applaud your kindness. However, we will have to respect the wishes of the parent, to avoid any further problems." I proceeded to the Prek's classroom. It was there I was greeted by Ms. Reynolds, the PreK's teacher. She pulled me aside and verified a complaint call that was made by Iyam's parents on March 8, 2018. She requested a meeting in the classroom's bathroom, with the student's step-mother. In the bathroom, Ms, Reynolds, parent (step-mother only) and I were present.
I preceded to apologize and explain the motives behind my actions. I told her that some of her classmates were teasing her about her hair standing up. Unfortunately, the mother was not receptive to my explanations. However, she immediately started shouting at me. She told me to shut my mouth. Also, she waved her fingers in my face. The step-mother said she don't care about the statements of her classmates. I backed away because the step-mother was invading my space by moving too close to me. I asked the headteacher (Ms. Reynolds) if I could be excused from the bathroom because I did not feel safe. The teacher agreed and continued to console the …show more content…
step-mother. On March 14, 2018, around 8:20 AM, I walked down the Prek's hallway. However, the step-mother brushed my shoulder with her shoulder. Once I entered the classroom, I made Ms. Reynolds aware of the incident. She instructed me to avoid communications with the step-mother. I ask why? She said, at the beginning of the year, the step-mother had an altercation with another parent, in which it resulted in a public fight in front of the school. Also, Ms. Reynolds said the step-mother and Iyam's biological mother continues to fight over her custody battle. On April 10, 2018, at 2:45 PM, the vice principal, Mrs. Cruz-Guy called me on the class phone and scheduled an appoint to meet with her on April 11, 2018, at 8:30 PM. The next day, I meet with the vice principal. She said Iyam's mother complained yesterday about the braiding of her hair. I told her this incident occurred on March 8, 2018, and the school secretary and Ms. Reynolds reprimanded me on March 9, 2018. Mrs.
Cruz-Guy asked if the school principal addressed the matter and I told her the school principal (Mrs. Sapowsky) instructed the secretary to speak with me. I told Mrs. Cruz-Guy, I braided the hair because some of Iyma's classmates were teasing her. I was trying to comfort the little girl. I didn't want to be an outcast. I told Mrs. CruZ-Guy on March 9, 2018, the mother brought the daughter to school around 8:45 AM and I greeted both of them. However, Iyam looked at me and ran back to her step-mother. Once the mother left, I asked Iyam was she ok and she said yes. I asked her why she did not greet me back and she said, "Mrs. Green, my step-mother said I can't say good morning to you anymore and I can't give you a hug anymore." On March 11, 2018, around 3:05 PM, Iyam's father entered the classroom. He started shouting and screaming "who is the teacher that put a braid in my daughter's hair." However, he was not aware the paraprofessional across the way by the name of Jackie or Angel was behind him and heard the hold ordeal. Once he found out I was the teacher that braided his daughter's hair, he said, "you better not never touch my daughter's hair again." I acknowledge the father my saying
understood. On March 12, 2018, around 8:45 AM, the step-mother dropped off Iyam and busted into the classroom ranting and raving. She shouted about why I told Iyam "why your mother send you to school without sleeves on your coat?" Then she started screaming "I'm afraid for your daughter's safety." However, the Soure4teahers sub, school guidance counselor (Mrs. Jackson) teachers and parents were present. The hold ordeal modified me. I was a nervous wreck. I was trembling so badly. The guidance counselor suggested that I report the incident to the principal immediately. She agreed to cover the class for me with the other Source4teacher (Mrs. Taylor). I spoke with the principle. I provided her an account of the events as they occurred. However, she said the parent felt I did not humble myself enough. I told the principle was antagonize both by the step-mother and I wanted very much to extend an apology but they continued to be verbally abusive. I told the principle that I am resigning because I fear for my safety. Lastly, I thank the principle for the opportunity and amended her for running such a great school.
She wanted to spend 8 hours at a place where she wasn’t like some type of disease. One day Alex got called to Ms. Cook’s office. When asked about her absences she told her about playing video games but she eventually told her about Ms. Pearson and how bad people at school was treating her. Ms. Cook told Alex that she would get back with her but Alex never heard back from Ms. Cook. Alex was even confronted by her mother after she had got a call from one of Alex’s classmates parents. She asked Alex about the post and Alex showed her mom the Myface and messages directed to her, she even told her about the horrible moments at school. When Ms. Billings realized that she didn’t get a copy of Alex’s report card or a phone call back, she took matters in her own head. Even when Alex’s mother contacted Principal Li about the situation she replied a week later saying “It’s probably just teenage squabbling”. As the Principal of KHS she failed to complete her task. As said in the KHS Anti-Bullying Policy under Administration Procedures for Responding to Reports of Bullying states that the KHS Principal who is Principal Li is responsible for receiving complaints alleging bullying. Also the Principal is required to conduct a prompt and thorough investigation of each
6th grade was not all that bad. That is before the incident however. Going to school was fun for the most part, the classes were difficult, friends were plenteous, and the food was good. Life at Lancaster Country Day School was swell, again, before the incident. Now, said issue somewhat killed my image at the school and saved it at the same time; it also made me question others. Were my friends really my friends? Or did they use me to as a sick and twisted way to formulate drama? I had a friend. I had many friends really, I was friends with the whole 50 people in my grade. But this friend, this friend was different. Her name Mady Gosselin. Yes, the Mady Gosselin from Kate Plus 8. We had been close, I talked to her almost every day. However,
Sharon’s planned “Open House” event for students, teachers and staff was met with resistance from staff, and overshadowed by the Suburban Journal Report labeling Bayou as a failing school. Some staff strongly opposed the event and stated there was no reason to return prior to the first day of school. Someone anonymously left ...
Perez. She asked him to put the stroller on the floor to block the kitchen walk way. I suggested that she finds something for Aleena and her to do verses just telling her to get out the Kitchen. Miss Rojas did not feel the need to find Aleena something to do. She thinks that Aleena just knows better. So, when Aleena went in the Kitchen the next time, Mr. Perez was in the bedroom putting the new crib together and Miss Rojas put her in timeout. I asked her why did she feel the need to put Aleena in timeout. She told me ,Aleena knows better. I asked her if there were other ways to handle this situation. She fully believes in time-out and boundaries and she is against spoiling a child. I asked her to explain spoiling. She thinks Mr. Perez spoils Aleena. He is more lenat than Miss. Rojas. He allows Aleena to explore and when he feels that she is doing something that is inappropriate , he redirects her. She thinks he undermines her form of
While watching the Uniondale School Board of Education meeting this was something very interesting. The people that attended this meeting where the school board members, the superintendent, the student member, business affairs and people from the local community. The people the present was the student member, two school board members and a couple people from the community. There were a couple things that the board talked about and the members of the community. Something that was very interesting at this board meeting was that the members of the board had a student member by the name of Campbell present during the meeting. Campbell raised a concern about the segregation that is happening in Long Island. She mentioned how she and other people
The critical incident that I will be explaining about is regarding an eight-year-old girl currently a student at Victory Independent School District (VISD). This student wrote on her class journal that her uncle was touching her in her private parts when no one was watching. The teacher was so confused to what to do when he read Bianca’s journal, especially because he was wondering if it was appropriate for him to ask her questions about it. The teacher was concern that due to being a male that the student was going to feel uncomfortable if he were to ask her about what she had wrote in her journal. The teacher did know what to do and he was so confused because he was reading and grading the journals at home during the weekend. He continued reading Bianca’s journal and feeling more worried about his student's well being at home.
Boester the 22nd AMDS Dental Commander for 4 of the 5 years I worked at McConnell. I also had multiple letters of recommendations including one from LtCol. Shockley second in command of the Dental Commander. It took the Denver VA from July 2015 to December 2015 to initiate and complete my hire on. During the 6 month long wait I worked for a wonderful civilian dental office that I left to work for the VA. Once hired at the VA my daily commute went from 30 miles to 60 miles, and I felt this was all worth it, because I was going to be of service to our veterans. Soon after arriving I was warned by other dental assistants of two individuals that can be rather nasty. In no time at all I figured out who these two were with no help from the others. There were multiple run ins that happened on and off the clock and in front of several witnesses. I went to my chain of command, my direct supervisor, Dr. Brandner. I gave him details of theses encounters and names of witnesses. The other assistants who had been employees for years also warned me to not be surprised when nothing

Christopher writes, "When I went to school on Monday, Siobhan asked me why I had a bruise on the side of my face. I said that father was angry and he had grabbed me so I hit him and then we had a fight... And Siobhan asked if I was frightened about going home, and I said I wasn't. Then she asked me if I wanted to talk about it anymore, and I said that I didn't.
The incident on October twenty first was too for us much to overlook, we all decided that we had to talk to Susan about this. We told her about how we were treated and how we are not getting anything out of this experience, and also that is it still possible to switch placements. Susan with Sheryl Bird went to the Grant Street Neighborhood Center and saw it themselves. The center was empty full with kids but neither of them was doing homework only using computers.
From Ms. Harless's initial email, it sounded as if Avinash pulled the girl's hair and cut it near the scalp. Frankly, it is hard to believe that Avinash would have the audacity to pull such a stunt, considering he tries his best to stay out of any trouble. After 16 years, I think you know well enough that our kids would not behave in such a way. In response to what was written on the notice, no one would have predicted such an incident simply because it was not intentional. I think more than anything, a simple lesson on how to pass scissors safely could avoid an issue like this from happening
It’s 10:30am and Janice, Alex’s mother, receives a phone call. “Hi Janice, this is Mrs. Smith calling with regards to Alex. Yes, he isn’t having a good day. He has been very disruptive this morning. We tried calling Alex’s older sister to calm him down, and to talk to him, but he wouldn’t calm down.
We headed down to the principal’s office. My heart was pounding. It felt like it was pumping more blood then it needed to pump. The time it took to reach the principal’s office felt like a million years. We were in the office and my teacher showed the picture to the principal. There it was; the inevitable. This was bound to happen. How did I not see this coming? Why did I just ignore my noggin? The principal said, “How ignorant! Three days of in-school-suspension.” My life was draining by the second. It felt as if I was thrown into a dark chamber filled with corpses. Now I realized to always listen to the authority. My life lesson learned: Take policies seriously. No matter what you say to get out of situations, policy always comes out first.
One day at the beginning of September, as students filled the classroom, the teacher provided an explanation about honesty. As she spoke, everybody’s ears perked up to her, and she stated that it was time for people to tell the truth because it is the right thing to do. I sat there within my chair in the fourth row, thinking, but immediately knew the action I was going to do. As the class period ended I stood up, and walked straight to the teacher saying “I’m going to be honest with you, and tell you the truth.” The teacher with brown hair stood there smiling ear to ear as I came out. Following this action I walked down the hall, immediately I took out my phone, and texted my parents about my actions. I walked to my next class proud of the honesty I showed, and I did the right thing. Everyone’s papers were similar, as people worked together. The teacher frowned upon all of us, but I stood up by doing the right thing, and told her the truth, and that is how every situation should be resolved. The honesty that I displayed, regarding this issue, hopefully will regain my teacher’s trust, so that she can look for me for honesty of events. The actions that took place were not allowed, but I did not know that at the time, but I told the truth no matter what the consequence may be. One wise man once stated, “work smarter, not harder” so the students had worked together in order to help one another. Upon submitting the assignment, the teacher was very disappointed with the students. I stepped up and told the truth by saying, “yeah I helped other students on their work, and students helped me on my homework”. I knew the consequence might not be what I was looking for, but it was the right thing to do in showing courage to step up right away, and tell the truth. With myself stepping up and stating the truth, others came to me
