The nerve

I am, to say the least fed up with the schools my sons attend. First the oldest (12) has the school nurse from hell. He went to her with a stomachache. He has been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (brought on no doubt by the stress of the new school). She ignored his stomach and examined his eyes and ears. She then proceeded to give him grief about his hair and hygiene. She calls me and tells me my son FAILED his eye test and that I (yes I) knew a year ago he needed glasses. I don’t know how she knows what I knew a year ago since he was in a different school. Stupid stupid woman.

Now my youngest, I have very strong and religious convictions. (I’ll not go into them now) One of the teachers at my son’s school took it upon herself to tell her classes and my son (11) who the country should be voting for, spent the entire lesson on this persons attributes. This person happens to be someone I have strong feelings against. I find them lacking in so many areas and offensive in others. This whole situation has seriously pissed me off!!! It is NOT the teachers place to teach political opinion any more then I would expect her to instruct my child in religion. I am the parent that is my job. My son is now conflicted about the adults in his life  giving his such diverse points of view, one of which was very forceful about how right she was (not me). I am just amazed teachers no longer have to teach American history but, they can teach my son about whom I should vote for!
