Buffy's last day of school
Reason #333228 why I hate the high school. So I'm just getting everything together to leave for work today and my cell phone rings. It's one of Buffy's friends from school to let me know that Buff is in trouble, but that she really didn't DO anything this time, and that Buffy is really upset and distraught, and honestly, she didn't even DO anything, she SWEARS, and they're just calling to tell me that this time, Buffy really didn't do anything. Jeeez. Immediately my cell phone starts beeping again - it's ANOTHER friend, telling me the exact same story. So I got in my car and drove to the school thinking I would be getting a call from school any time now. Of course I didn't, because actually calling parents is something they can never do and that is reason number 837288 why I hate that school. I get to the office and Buffy is standing there in tears with the "Friend who is a very very very bad influence" (FWVVVBI). FWVVVBI says "Buffy didn't do it, she wasn't even there, I did it. It was all me." Did you TELL someone that she wasn't there? "Yes." You told them it was YOU and not Buffy? "Yes." So why is Buffy still sitting here in the office? They didn't know. And so where is the counselor? (Not to mention my phone call). She is no where. Buffy breaks down sobbing again because "This is the last day of school and they're RUINING it, I didn't even DO anything, and they said I'll need to have a PROBATION OFFICER and I wasn't even THERE and I just want to go outside for lunch and talk to my FRIENDS!!! *SOOOB*" So some adult walks over and asks what the problem is. I told her the two girls were in trouble, they were told they had to sit there, and I was here to find out what was going on. Where is the counselor? She didn't know. "What would you like me to do?" she asks me. How about you find the counselor?? "Well, I don't know where she is." Okaaaay. I blinked at her. "So what would you like me to do?" Are you fucking kidding me? I would like you to find the counselor so I can find out what is going on so I can go to fucking work, THAT is what I would like you to do. "Well I don't know where she is right now. What should I do?" ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???? After 15 minutes the counselor comes in and asks me and Buffy into her office. She tells us that Buffy is suspended. Because FWVVVBI was caught trying to set off a stink bomb in class and the teacher was pretty sure she saw Buffy with her. The counselor acknowledged that Buffy says she wasn't there, that three other students said she wasn't there, and that FWVVVBI said she was there on her own. But the other teacher, who does not know Buffy, thought she saw her. And for this Buffy is now suspended on the last day of school. And being threatened with a probation officer - and you should know right now there would have been HELL to pay if she was given a PO over something stupid like this with so many witnesses stating she wasn't even there. Buffy let her frustration bubble over at that point and started, um, telling the counselor off, basically. Which, well, everything Buffy said was true, but I don't approve of kids speaking to adults in that manner even though this counselor - on my 500th time dealing with her - is still obviously an idiot. I told Buffy to settle down. "YOU CAN ASK ANY KID IN MY CLASS IF I WAS SITTING RIGHT THERE THROUGH THE WHOLE PERIOD. *SOBBB*" So the counselor took some names from her and said she would call them to verify. If they verified, she would be un-suspended. But because they pulled her out of class where she was taking finals, and now the classes where half over, she would have to take her finals in the office. And so I went to work, and just got a call saying that Buffy's story checked out, they found witnesses who confirmed she was in class, and so she is un-suspended. (even though she already had plenty of witnesses who ALREADY said she wasn't at the scene) But she still has to take her final in the office. And because she missed so much time sitting in the office, she will be late getting out of school on her last day. I don't know why Buffy even wants to stay at that stupid school. I don't know how I'm going to deal with another three years of them. When Buffy actually does something bad it is ME who has to call the school three times just to make sure they are going to issue a punishment - which never materializes. Today she does nothing, has several witnesses who said she was sitting right in class, and still she had to find more witnesses to get out of a suspension - that never should have happened in the first place. A probation officer??? Posted by Pischina at June 14, 2007 1:18 PMComments
Are you kidding me? Okay that's freakin' retarded! Buffy should be pissed. It must be a guidance office thing. I call our counselors the misguidance department! Posted by: Dana at June 14, 2007 5:57 PMUgh ... thanks for yet another example of why I am willing to get down on my knees and praise the gods that be because my girls are NO LONGER IN HIGH SCHOOL. I think there must be some special aptitude test for high school counselors to prove they have the perfect combination of cluelessness and pompous personality, with just the right touch of Broken-Elevator-At-The-Brain-Hotel syndrome. Poor Buffy! Posted by: leslie at June 15, 2007 9:54 AMPost a comment
