Did I just get my kid kicked out of school?

[coffeenap]

My kid is in a k-8 school. Next year she will enter middle school there. 3 days ago I went to the head of the middle school in suport of a friend's kid who has been wrongly accused of a number of "crimes". I went there as a matter of conscience, and told her so. Yesterday, the woman approached me at school and asked if the kid at the drinking fountain was my daughter. I said yes. (mistake) She asked her name. I told her. She asked my name,"again". I told her. She went up to my daughter, looked at her and said, "it is good to put your faces together." I was SPOOKED. Yes? No? Paranoid?

1. a little paranoid

I'm sure it's fine. Sometimes the faculty and staff at a school like to put a face to your name, and a name/face to a kid.

3. good point, but this admin. has been accusing students of things

based on rumours and other kids' accusations with no proof. I guess I am paranoid--maybe for good reason? I don't know.

2. You should as her to introduce you to her children.

sounds threatening to me.

4. Yes, I was thinking like that too for a minute. Hmm, still thinking.

5. I don't like that either.

Maybe I am too paranoid, but for purposes of clarity, I would most definitely, accidentally, bump into her, and say, "hey, oh btw, when you said it's good to put your faces together, referring to my daughter and I, I wondered in what way do you mean that?"...

Let her speak next, don't utter a word. Then you'll know where she's coming from. It could be completely innocent, and if you ask her when she's not expecting it, it'll catch her off-guard, and you'll get a more genuine response.

Just a suggestion. I'm terrible, I couldn't let it slide. I've been guilty to a fault though of not letting anything slide. I just "need" to know where people are coming from.

6. That is about where I am too. And, this school has only 320 kids--

we all know each other in the lower school and will all know each other in the middle school. She is new, I have been around for years. Of course, I am not the admin, just a progressive mom who cares about the kids!

Edited to say: gotta go to the school right now! Back later for your insights. THANKS!

7. Go for it!!!!

Update us soon, please?

8. You can never be too paranoid when it comes to your kids.

That being said, at least that administrator alerted you to her creepy ways and you know that she may start to pay too much attention to your child. If any allegations are made, you will know where they come from and why and you will be better able to deal with them. She tipped her hand, don't overact to it, just be aware of her nature. :hug:

:hi: I have you have a good day! :pals:
