Last year, Jacob ate the cafeteria food, instead of taking his own lunch. Well there's is a lunch lady there, she's one of the cashier's, and she is really, really rude. Keep in mind that this is an Elementary school! He complained to me a few times last year that she was rude to some of the other student's and to him as well, but I honestly never thought too much of it at the time. I just figured she's a grumpy old woman lol. But one day she flat out called my son "stupid" right to his face. He was in tears when I picked him up from school and he was telling me about what had happened. I immediately called the principal and told her what happened and that it wasn't the first time he had complained. She even told me that other parent's had called with some of the same complaints! She told me not to worry and that she would handle it. So I left it up to her and took her word for it. Jacob didn't want to eat tray lunches anymore after that, so I let him take his lunch to school for the rest of the year.
This year he has also taken his lunch to school the entire time. This week though, I asked him if he wouldn't mind just going ahead and eating the cafeteria food since he only has a couple of weeks left before we move. I didn't want to keep buying all of the groceries because we are trying to get rid of all the food and stuff before we move out. He was fine with it. Well apparently today...the mean lunch lady struck again. *sigh* When Jacob got to the line she pointed Jacob and told the other worker in there that Jacob was telling her to shut up earlier, or the day before. I'm not one of those naive parent's that think my child can do no wrong, but I do know my son well enough to know that he'd never, ever tell someone, especially an adult to "shut up." Jacob was upset about this again, and told his teacher about what had happened. She told him she wasn't worried about it because she knows him and that's just not something he would do.
Well first of all - I don't even understand why this woman still has a job working around little kids when several other people have already complained about her. It's one thing to be in a bad mood, but you do not call a little kid stupid! And now she's just going out of her way to be mean to my son by telling lies about him! I know that we are leaving soon, but I dang sure am not going to just sit back and do nothing about it. I called the school as soon as we got home, but the principal was out of her office so they took my number and told me that they'd have her call me back. I am just sick of it. The teacher's here don't even go to the lunchroom with the student's. I am going to suggest that they have someone standing there when those kid's are going through that line to see what is going on and to put a stop to things if necessary. If they aren't willing to do that than I will just tell them that I will come up there every day for the rest of this month until we leave and stand in that line with my son myself and I will damn sure put a stop to that crap right away! Don't mess with my child. I don't care who you are.

Oh wow...that is ridiculous. Yeah, Tyler was having problems with a boy that rides his bus. A FOURTH grader! He was being mean to him, pushing him, teasing him, calling him gay...stuff like that. I was furious. I got with the principal a couple of times over all of it...and FINALLY things were resolved. I know how crappy it can be dealing with stuff like this, and I truly hope that everything works out for you guys. People like that have NO business working in an environment around children. UGH!
I'm with you Tara...Don't mess with my kids or my grandkids!!!
I love you!!!
