Every parent knows the nature of his/her/their child . . .
Recently, I've been an alert, active, involved and intervening child for my child in the areas of education, extracurricular, voluntary, social and behavioral situations in his school.
As an African American parent, I wonder if it is me that is seeing the results of interest, involvement and parental participation being unwelcomed by faculty and staff? Has anyone listen to a situation that your child explained to you one way and the faculty explain it in a completely different light? Did you find that it was your child telling you the truth and the staff member lying?
Well, these are just a few of the concerns I plan to share and discuss on this blog. Has your child had a bully and was not protected by faculty? If so, single moms what advise/intervention did you provide for your child? Was he/she confused with how to react? Confused on how he/she would respond?
Did you find a resolution to conflict of any kind? Did it leave you feeling that public school isn't to be trusted? School staff untrustworthy?
I need some sleep but I will come back to touch on these topics . . .
