My poor son, did I fail him?

Jonathon starts in his new class today. He was very upset last night when we talked about it. He thinks everyone is going to hate him, he will still get in a lot of trouble and be "blamed" for everything, and that he’s a bad kid who shouldn’t go to school. It was difficult, but I hope I made some ground wit him. He’s only 6, I don’t understand this complex feeling of worthlessness going on in my sons head. I can’t stand it. I want to just erase it out of him. He even brought up that god awful meeting and how he felt like he was the baddest person on the earth because of it. I hate that other teacher. he said she just yelled and yelled at him all the time. I believe it. Fucking ridiculous, people like that should not be teaching 6 year olds.

bitch.

Anyway, I will be calling him before school to give him a pep talk. I would also like to get in touch with the Vice Principal to give her a heads up on his insecurity. He thinks everyone is going to laugh at him and will say he’s a loser and that he shouldn’t be in school. *sigh* My baby.

God. this is horrible. He deserves so much better than that. I hate that this is happening to him, but I’m hoping things get better. I feel like I failed him by not addressing this sooner. I dunno.

Other than that, my ear hurts, my sister won’t give me the kitten I want, i have too much laundry, not enough money and my brain is not starting up in a normally functioning capacity.

yay thursday.

🙁 aw that’s awful…I would hate that school too

*hugs* I’m sorry to hear about Jon. He will get thru this–he has a strong mom who will help him every step of the way.

Enthusiast

I think I would try to get in touch with his new teacher and tell her what a bad experience he had in the other class and how fragile his sense of self-worth has been lately. I pray she’s a good one. It sounds like that teacher just broke him down, which is so stupid. Stupid teacher.

It’ll be okay. When he’s grown, he may be like, “I hated first grade; it was the worst year of my life,” but he’ll move through it and have others he really likes.

Dried Roses

In first grade I had a reading teacher that yelled at me constantly and made an example out of me. I’d get so stessed that I wouldn’t be able to read even though I knew how just fine. I’d get stuck on “is” because I was afraid of going too slow. My mom found out when I was getting sick constantly, and she pulled me out of the class. The new teacher was really nice. He’ll feel better.

I made you a favorite so you can read my diary. If not, no big deal. That’s fine.

Sorry that Jon is off to such a rough start w/ school. Hope it gets better w/ the new teacher.

This just makes me want to cry. Poor Jon. Hug him tight tonight and tell him how brave he was for going back to school, even though he was scared.

herself

if I were you i’d start off by praising him and the wonderful things he does. Isa used to do this so wed focus on what he did good and reward him for it and tell him how special he is.

that school is wrong. 🙁 Chris

thats horrible that bitch totally destoryed his self esteem! That kinda situation calls for some major action taken against that cunt whore teacher! Make her apologize to him or something. That poor baby

the quality in teachers is low because they only pay enough for th bottom of the barrel types to work as teachers.

A Child’s Self-Esteem, Is Very Precious! And Also, Very Easy To Break Down, As Well, Unfortunately! If it were ME, I’d have Her Apologize to Him, and Then, Have Her Ass Fired! A child’s Self-Esteem being
