catfishhunter 2 #1 October 25, 2011 My son's mom calls me to tell me my sons kindergarten teacher had my son call her before school even started. She has a shooting star(good) to black hole(bad) system. You move your paper clip backwards ending in a black hole and you have to call your parents. Well my boy broke his record today by getting a black hole before school even started. Seems a kid knocked him down pretty hard and he yelled fuck! Seems fuck is an instant black hole. I asked him about it and he said "I'm sorry daddy but it really hurt" he also said be didn't think it was fair he got a black hole just because it was against school rules. He wasn't bad or anything he just said the f word because he got hurt. Not sure if I handle it right but I told him I wasn't mad at him and we would work on not using grown up words. Now I have to get his mom, step dad, grand pa, step mom, all the guys at work and yes me to stop saying fuck. MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY. Everything we do should have a greater purpose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldwomanc6 60 #6 October 25, 2011 What did the other kid get? A black hole supernova for knocking him down, deserving of a suspension? Granted, kids will repeat everything they hear ( so the f-bomb is probably because he heard it at home ), but what about the other kid doing bodily harm? I agree that the school should have called you, but not for his language, but to inform you your child was possibly hurt, or at least to inform you of the altercation. edited for clarity lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OTOH the bully could be, should be, might be, allso be in the black hole. Might not hurt to surf the schools websight to see what the rules of engagement are and gently inquire if the bully is in the same black hole as your son.

jtval 0 #9 October 25, 2011 You should work a routine with your son. Work on it for a month or so and have him go say fuck again. Then, when you get the call go into school and beat him in front of the teacher. (obviously, its fake but looks real) Then, sHake her hand and tell her you're pretty sure "he won't use that FUCKING word again. I have no clue where he gets this shit...and frankly, I'm embarrassed!" It's almost hallowwen so go get some blood capsules that he can chew on. or maybe I just watch too many cartoons.

FWIW I never had any children It wasn't a bully they where playing and he got knocked down. If it was a bully I would have got a different call my boy likes to play hard and rough. Funny he doesn't use fuck around me except when he tells me "Daddy I can't say fuck because fuck is bad word. Little kids can't say fuck right daddy only grown ups can say fuck but I'm not a grown up so I can't say fuck right Daddy" one of the hardest times I have ever had not just busting out in laughter. I think teachers have better things to do then to be calling parents for kids being kids. He got in trouble because him and another kid was wrestling. Not fighting I asked, just wrestling. Teacher put him in the quiet chair to think about it(what the hell was he to think about?) the other kids kept stairimg at him so he stuck his tongue out at them which got him moved to the black hole and a phone call. I had the hardest time not busting out laughing at the teacher. If I had people staring at me because I was in trouble I'd stick my tongue out at them too.

oldwomanc6 60 #15 October 25, 2011 Thanks for clearing that up. If it wasn't a bullying situation, just kids being kids and burning off energy, then nobody should have been called. Kids don't have enough time out of their seats in school, nowadays. It's not like 30 + years ago, when there was recess (morning, lunch and afternoon). It also seems that when they do get to play, it's only structured play instead of a balance. We can't expect kids to sit for long periods of time like adults are expected (and hopefully have enough self-control) to do. Don't get me going on about the unnecessary medicating of way too many children. Kudos to you for not laughing at the teacher, I'm not sure I could have controlled myself in your situation. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sacex250 0 #16 October 25, 2011 Would you like nuts on that? Seriously, the teacher is freaking incompetent if she can't handle a kid saying a swear word without having to call the parents about it. Oh yeah, that's right, arbitrary rules, shooting stars, and black holes!It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JerryBaumchen 1,468 #19 October 25, 2011 Hi Moms, Quote Put out a jar and make everyone pay $1 for every time they use a "grown-up" word ~ 1966 I went to my first compeition at the old Issaquah, WA dz. They were a club operation and had a 'grown-up word' jar that you had to put a quarter into each you used one of those words. Well, all of us from Oregon & those bad-boys from the Tri-Cities just laughed at that jar. About an hour into the meet the jar was set aside because the language was flowing and nobody was putting any money into it. It's tough to enforce something when ~85% of the people are in violation.

guppykf 0 #20 October 25, 2011 I dont know when we all learned to use adult words particularly when we are angry or hurt but damn sounds a lot more powerful than darn; dunno why. I think you handled it appropriately, we all just got to be a little more careful in our speech nowadays in this PC sensitve world, not that we dont see sex and hear choice words on TV during daytime TV :0) I got a call one morning from my teenage daughter's teacher saying that she had to change shirts cause hers said "I ride the short bus" and it had a picture of a bus on the front. Note: we live in an area that out in the county there are several non handicap children that ride the short bus because of the tight winding roads. I just told her not to wear it to school again, but didnt ban her from wearing it at all..am I bad parent?THRIVING IN MY DASH!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

popsjumper 2 #25 October 26, 2011 Question: When the school explained what he said, did anyone there actually say, "He said 'fuck.'" or did they beat around the bush by saying, 'the F-word'? Wouldn't it have been a hoot if he has said to the teacher, "Well, I heard YOU say it so I thought it was a good word!" Or, "I didn't say that nasty word! I said, 'Ducks!'" Ummmmm...I'm getting too far off the wall here... My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.
