One day the school called me in. The wanted my son to face punishment for drawings that they considered “disturbing”. My son was extremely upset. While the principal and counselor were trying to tell me that my son needed counseling and they were worried for his mental health, I look at the pictures. I told them flat out they were not his. They did not believe me at first. Then I asked my son, “Whose drawings are they?” My son replied that they were some other boys, that they had been put in his cubby by accident along with other items of the boy. I turned to the teacher, counselor and principal and asked, “You did not even ask my son if these were his? That’s the first thing you should have done.” On closer examination the handwriting did not match with my son’s. We got no apology, nothing for the crap we went through that afternoon. Just a weak, you’re not in trouble go back to class.

My son is no longer in the public school system and we are thrilled. In fact we are busy celebrating CHRISTMAS this week at his school.
