last day, got lucky!

[adon]

so i posted about pulling DS from PS, well today was the last day, and i feel a huge relief!: well this whole time i have been telling DH how anxiety ridden i am when i go to pick DS up. waiting to see if he had anm "Accident" or not or the teacher tell me what he did "wrong" today or that he needs to work on listening. DH is supportive about HS, but i can tell he had his worries. well today he came with me to get DS because we had to go pick up our other car from the garage. so we walk in and all the parents are in the hallway and the teacher is calling out the students. well DS saw DH and came running "daddy!! daddy!!" and teacher said "DS i did NOT call your name yet go back and sit" : : so of course DS goes back and starts crying, and the teacher waits!! and calls 2 more kids before him!!!! WTH!! so he was so sad and crying and saying i want to go home.....and DH sees all of this. then the teacher comes up to us to tell us that DS and other kids were "play fighting" in the playhouse. that one of the teachers went in to see what they were doing and the kids actually said "play fighting" those words, oh and also needs to listen better. which DS is in playgroups and i'm a SAHM and i have NEVER heard or seen my son do this. DH just stopped and looked at me. all i wanted to say was...."see this is what i go thru every time" as we were walking out and DS was wimpering.....by the way DS doesn't usually cry a lot....very independent...strong willed, but not a ton of crying with tears and all. DH turned to me and said "we're pulling him!!" so after all this....i finally feel better!!! now i'm even thinking of emailing MIL...she just sent me one asking how DS did at school.......i think i'm just going to write......"we pulled him" and nothing else what do you think?


i just wanted to add that the reason i found this lucky, is that DH was able to experience really how bad it was, and that he also feels good about our decision. i'm sure you all figured that out.....

I think you should leave it alone and let your dh interact with his mother about this. Its really none of her business but if she starts anything let dh respond to her.

Enjoy your child! This is a precious time.

Such a feeling of relief to know you don't have to go through that again, isn't it?

That brought tears to my eyes. How painful it must have been to witness that.

It's so good to hear you're pulling him!

ENJOY! - Lillian

I would have just went over to my son, took his hand, and said "See ya." to the teacher. There is no reason for this kind of treatment.

I am glad you pulled him. I am with Kathi - if the teacher had said she didn't call him, I would have said something like "well I did and I'm his parent", gotten his stuff and left. (((hugs)))

DH turned to me and said "we're pulling him!!"

Yahoo! Another child liberated!!!! :

But that teacher sounds especially mean. : Although, I've had a couple like that myself so I wouldn't assume it's an isolated incident. My favorite one was the teacher who would never let anybody use the bathroom.
Of course, I've had some really fantastic teachers but I was still completely bored out of my mind in school.

if the teacher had said she didn't call him, I would have said something like "well I did and I'm his parent", gotten his stuff and left.

I agree. But, on the other hand, her DH wouldn't have gotten to see the system at work. Now, he's on her side which means:

I think you should leave it alone and let your dh interact with his mother about this.

Definitely. His mom, his problem. But you can prep him for it.
