How can teachers be like this?
I just witnessed a black child coming to report that a group of children bullied a child (his little brother) and took his hat and didn't return it.
The first thing the front office staff did was attack the child's rights to report bullying against his little brother. Unbelievable.
"Do you even have permission to be here right now?"
"If I call your Mrs. [b][u]Whatevertheteacher'snamewas[/u][/b], you're not gunna get in trouble?"
Tf? The hat is still missing. Why the hell has her focus become the rights of the older brother to call and try to help his brother?
The staff member goes on to then even attack if the child even was brothers with the kid he's tryna help 🤪
You'd think I'm making this up yo 😂
You would actually think I'm making this up
She says "Is he really your brother or not? Last time I asked, you said he wasn't your brother. Now you're saying he is. Our records 'something-something' (I was not capturing and memorizing everything) don't really have a consistency with both of your stories, right now"
Like who ASKED this to this woman? How is that helping the child get justice from the bullies?
What is this antagonistic behavior to a child pleading for help?
I'm picking my brother up on my lunch hour like this and I just go back after dropping him off at home to talk with the teachers. And they GANG UP ON [b][c=359E00]ME[/c][/b] bro
What??
I ask to speak to that woman and the front desk attendants refused to let me speak til I elaborated the need (cuz obviously they know I picked my little brother up early for an appointment at lunchtime, so it's understandable tbh ,_,)
But YO
:V
I explain that it is completely inappropriate to have a child reporting a bullying situation and then the first thing that the child was met with was harsh suspicion of their right to be there, reporting a bullying incident.
I wanted to let the woman know herself. But they just kept deflecting, saying "The ISSUE was RESOLVED. The kid got the hat back"
Like, who ASKED you that? I asked to speak to her about the disrespectful lady about her behavior.
She was built like a Karen in all metrics yo. Blonde, near-middle aged, blue eyed, and a cocky attitude. She could be the president of the school.
Other teachers began coming outta the neighboring rooms and they stood like some wall between me and the office of that woman (I don't get what this kinda subconscious barricading is meant to symbolize cuz I'm not tryna walk back there at all. I demand her out to speak to me or I'm leaving to return another day 🤷🏾♂️)
They all just try to tell me to not continue talking about it because the hat was resolved. Like I was met with a wall of deaf people. Continuous deflecting.
Ignoring the fact that I didn't ask about some hat. The child did. And when the child asked about the hat, the staff ignored it and targeted some kind of weakness in that soft child, yo. Cuz he was so shy and was just answering their red herrings.
Perhaps this was a matter of determination for me because that black child used to be me. And I recall how teachers used to humiliate me constantly back when I was his age and I understand what it is like to be bullied and the teachers join in by bullying you, too.
But I've seen this social protocol in many other situations and identity groups. So, perhaps this is more human than racial. But not any less predatory on that poor black child's heart.
I'm sick of witnessing what tormented my self-value/self-worth the back of my mind for decades. Ugly. Ugly through and through. I hope to make sure this child doesn't ever see this again. Cuz I HATE bullying with a blazing fury. And I hate just as much the silent complacency and silent endorsement....
