Horrible school!!

Once again, surprise, another issue with the school. It actually turns out that while BFF had hit my daughter in the nose, the teacher was actually standing right there when it happened and did NOT intervene. It also turns out that he had been punched in the face about 12x on the bus ride to school the day before, and instead of Principal Guyman (YEAH I USED YOUR NAME ASSHOLE!) of handling the situation or appropriately punishing the students involved...he decided to interrogate the victim. You heard it here, folks. Apparently, because the BFF "might" of looked at one of the bullies magnet (who brings a magnet to school anyways?)...that the VICTIM is actually the cause of all the punching. Really? So, this is excused AGAIN.

It also turns out that the original references to MY CHILD being bullied are being brushed off as accidents as well. So, not only is the BFF having some serious issues with bullying (amongst other things), but so is MY KID! What is the school doing about this? Oh...nothing. The BFF got an ISS (In-School Suspension) lasting ALL day long, while the other bullies...including the one that spit/pulled my daughter's hair only got a 15min time out. That's nice. At least the BFF didn't HURT her, but the others HAVE. HOW IS THAT FAIR?!

As per what happened AFTER this? Oh guess what! I get a certified letter in the mail stating that my daughter has missed too many days of school. She has missed 1 day of school, and the dates listed are the same exact dates I handed in a note excusing her (even though that isn't required, as kindergarten is elective!!!) for those days - to her teacher. Apparently the dumb bitch never handed the note in, and when she TOLD myself and 5 other parents that they weren't needed...oh, yeah she was lying. Those notes need to be turned into the receptionist. My kids' uncle went in to handle that mess. It was all excused. Pnemonia and bronchitis was running rampant through my house for two months because parents sent their kids to school sick. My daughter was actually hospitalized during those two months, about four times total. She was really sick and not getting better. But, god forbid, we turn in the note to the dumb slut teacher. Cause, we all know she has no idea what the fuck she's doing!!! Apparently, it was NEVER turned in!!! Also turns out aside from the 5 of us standing there, other parents were told the SAME thing!!! Goes to show what a waste of air this "teacher"/bitch is.

By the by, I called the school the next day after yelling at the dumb ISS teacher who tried to act like my daughter being punched wasn't a big deal. I counted how many times I cursed during the conversation btw (this was after school with no other children around besides my own). Wanna know how many curses I used? TWO. Wanna know how long the unmarried receptionist lectured me on cursing and how her GRANDCHILDREN don't use foul language? 45 minutes before I told her to stop lecturing me. I doubt she has kids btw, as she looks to be 40 tops and is unmarried. No way in mormon-ville is this chick a grandmother already. Where does this bitch get off lecturing ME when MY HUSBAND FIGHTS FOR MY RIGHT EVERYDAY TO CURSE AS MUCH AS I WANT TO?!

Anyways, aside from that....Uncle also discussed what the teacher was saying to my kid. Didn't you hear that her 23 yr old, newly married teacher is pregnant and shouting to the world that she has a baby in her tummy? Did you hear she told MY child to come home and tell me, "Tell your mommy, I'm a parent now". LOL No the fuck you're not bitch. You can barely even be described as a TEACHER, let alone a parent. It's not even out yet and you are counting yourself a parent? Raise it for over 6 years and then come talk to me. How tacky is that shit?! Oh, and she also mentioned partially how babies are made so now 46 total students are asking how babies are made to their parents now. (She runs a morning and afternoon class) Amazing!! The principal apparently explained to the uncle that it was only said to explain why she is missing so much work lately. You know. I was pregnant TWICE and I never missed a day of work (granted, I don't work now...)...but pregnancy isn't an excuse for her being a fucking tard-monkey.

So this is my new addition to my list. This school just keeps getting better.


Jan 19th
Receive certified mail about missing school. Teacher tells students baby in tummy, and to tell parents she is a parent now.

Jan 20th
Uncle discusses letter and the teachers comments. As well as providing my list of semi-accurate dates for the bullying and all other instances going on in that school. Principal informs me to forward it to him in an email. I will NOT go out of my way when he is obviously failing at his job.


I also tried to write some reviews about the school just to warn people of what has happened to us here, so they don't make the same mistake I did. Those reviews are all being reported as nonfactual and being deleted. Looks like Principal Guyman is monitoring the reviews! How about this SCHOOL, I'll address you all, do your fucking jobs. Don't have other parents testing my child. Don't lose my child. Handle bullying AS IT HAPPENS APPROPRIATELY. Stop showing favorites to THE BULLIES THAT HAVE BEEN CAUGHT!! You have at least two children who are reporting ONE child. My daughter may lie to protect her sister, but she won't lie when her sister or anyone else hurts her. Get your shit together. Btw: When you send me failing marks on tests or even letters in the mail like that - what do you think I'll do? Of course, it shows good reason that maybe other parents shouldn't be testing my daughter when MY CHILD HAS A TEACHER THERE TO TEACH HER!! HOW INSANE IT IS THAT SHE IS NOW PASSING WITH FLYING COLORS NOW THAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY DOING YOUR JOB!! HOW STUPID DO YOU THINK I AM?? I LOOKED UP ALL OF YOUR SCHOOL POLICIES, AND YOU FAILED SEVERAL OF YOUR OWN POLICIES YOU WROTE YOURSELVES!!!!!! Fucking morons!!

Edit: Not sure if I mentioned this or not, but Riley's mother (bully girl) was actually the one testing my daughter. So, my child was coming home with failing marks because the teacher wasn't actually teaching her. I had to FIGHT for the teacher OR the teacher's aide (the aide actually knows what she is doing, but seriously...if the teacher is that bad to require an aide...why is she teaching?!) to test my child instead. I also made sure to mention that they should try to make it into a challenge game with "ready, set, go". The teacher was surprised that I even mentioned this... BUT, apparently it's working like a charm. My daughter has NOT failed anything since I had to fight for this. My daughter is actually scoring on a 1st grade level, and can read. Her only fault that is keeping her back is her speech patterns. She's missing 5 teeth, of course she slurs!! Aside from that...why didn't the teacher KNOW to try to make the tests fun?? Did you know they even test them during story time? LOL What kid is going to want to take a test while story time is going on?? IDIOTS!!

Also turns out that Riley's mother volunteers a LOT in the school (and has donated a lot of money!!), and I'm apparently banned from volunteering...as per the principal's instructions via email. Here is what he wrote when I commented how her mother being in there was a conflict that needed to be resolved. Especially since I strongly think she is the one calling both children liars when they report the bullying.

"We do not ban parents from a classroom unless we see that a student and/or class is in an unsafe situation with that parent in the room/building.

It is not best in this specific situation for us to have you in the room at the same time just to make sure that nothing bad happens as this only creates a distraction for the learning process."

So, not only can I not watch my daughter or make sure my daughter isn't being harassed by this mother...but I can't even be AROUND this mother at the same time. Are you fucking kidding me? So, I can no longer volunteer just because Riley-bitch's mother is there? Talk about bullshit! Why am III being punished when that dumb mother doesn't parent her child correctly, AND she is calling other kids liars??? What kind of bullshit is that?!

When I asked if their uncle could volunteer, the teacher strictly stated that males were not permitted to volunteer. LOL SEXISM AT IT'S FINEST!! Shit, I even asked if my husband could volunteer and got the same damn answer!! Are you shitting me?! Talk about bullshit!

After that, I resorted to just making their uncle deal with the school's bullshit. Hell, when my daughter AND her BFF were punched (two separate occasions), NEITHER MOTHERS were informed of what had happened. Actually, if their uncle hadn't of been sitting next to me...I wouldn't of ever known. When BFF was punched in the face on the bus, multiple times enough to knock out a tooth and make him bleed, HIS mother was NEVER informed either. BFF's uncle was ALSO called instead! She ONLY found out because he didn't get off the bus after school. She wound up driving to the school, and finding out they had detained him!! WOW! So, not only do you not inform the direct parents...you don't even bother to send them home!! NICE GOING!


Update 10/26/13:

The teacher has since been fired, I have heard rumors that she "sometimes" substitutes.  We have had zero issues with my daughter's new school.  She has been attending there for TWO years now, and not one issue.  If there seemed to be an issue, the school handled it appropriately IMMEDIATELY.  They didn't play the "blame the victim" game.  This new school has been fantastic.  (My daughter also does not need speech therapy anymore, as it was a minor issue in the beginning...it has completely cleared up now)

I have been more active in the PTA, etc, and I have heard other parents' horror stories about Woodruff.  Apparently a LOT of kids are transferred out of Woodruff, and not just us.  I have met about 15 other parents who had similiar bullying issues, not only from students but from the STAFF.

Woodruff STAFF DO look at reviews like this.  I have had a few side comments when I am forced to be in their presence (signing up for school choice this year, the Woodruff nurse had the nerve to mention my yelp review...I wasn't even talking to her and how did she know who I was???).  This school is horrible!!!

Woodruff tried to cover their butts about everything that happened, but after a lengthy discussion with the school district...they realized how WRONG they were.  It took going to the school district and doing school choice, to get that school to even admit that they lost my child. (There are plenty of other issues that happened at this school, but my update would be WAY too long to even post...)

The secretary has also been fired.  (This could be because of her numerous attempts to cover up what happened, or her many lectures to me.  I'm 30 yrs old, I don't need to be lectured on the phone for 30 minutes about how bullying supposedly does NOT exist in Kindergarten.  Idiot, bullying happens everywhere and at any age.)

From what I can tell, they have TRIED to change some things...but the principal is still there (I had to have my daughter's therapist write a note so she'd never be left alone with him ever again - he even stalked me while picking up my child - AND he kept her in a room by himself multiple times...not just once).

My daughter developed RAD (reactive attachment disorder) because of this school (the catalyst was them losing her at school, yay!).  She started hitting herself, having crying fits, couldn't be left alone for longer then 30 seconds, etc.  It took TWO YEARS with therapy AND a new school, to get her to act somewhat normal again.  I couldn't even put gas in the car without her freaking out that I had "left" her.  You have NO IDEA the PAIN this school caused my child!!  They are SO lucky I didn't sue them!

PS.  The teacher admitted that she wanted to go home early, so she put my daughter on the school bus instead of waiting with her.  I picked up my daughter EVERYday at the same time (on time), and this lazy teacher decided her FUN TIME was more important then my daughter's safety!!!!!!!
