Not a happy Camper

I'm not really a happy camper today. I've been fighting with the school for the past few days. Let me try to give you the short version.

Stupid ass band teacher is failing Kiddo because he can't do the tests. She is supposed to make special compensations for his disabilities but she won't. Talked to her a few times about it. Then she said he could play one instrument, I bought all the stuff, then she wouldn't let him play it. He doesn't like what he's playing now.

Then they are having a Christmas concert tomorrow night.
1. She told the kids they all had to get black pants, white shirt, tie, and a santa hat. If they didn't have these they wouldn't be allowed to play in the concert.

I had black pants for him, but they don't fit. I don't have money to go get more. He doesn't own a white shirt. This family doesn't do white. It would just get ruined first time we wore it. I ended up calling the principal. He said Kiddo would get to play no matter what. Band teacher was pissed. They went and bought him a black pair of pants. I borrowed a white shirt. They said they would provide santa hat.

2. She has been marking 2 points off of his grade every day that he doesn't bring a santa hat in.

Oh hell no!!! they said they would provide one, why is she taking points off his grade.

3. She just barely gave them a paper today saying that they had practice after school, wanted them to walk 4 blocks up hill carrying their instruments (a fucking tuba people) Then the paper said if they didn't have their hats and other stuff at practice, they couldn't play in the concert.

OH hell no!!!!! again!!!!!! She tried telling Kiddo he couldn't play in the concert because I didn't bring him a hat. Ummm you are supposed to fucking provide it.

4. She tried telling my son that he couldn't play in the concert because he didn't have his mouthpiece today, he misplaced it in another class. And not that he needs it. Seeing as the tuba he has has a broken valve and won't even play. He keeps telling her and she keeps saying he is lying.

OH FUCK ME NO!!!! She is going to fucking listen, and since it won't play, she is going to let me bring up the beat up piece of shit he has at home for practice that she gave him. At least it will play and he can play in the concert.

5. She is still trying to get him stopped from playing in the concert.

We are meeting with the principal tomorrow, and gonna demand to talk to her. The concert stuff, his grade and bringing a different tuba is going to be all worked out. GOING TO BE!!!! Then I am switching his music class for next semester.

She won't work with me, he's fucking out of her class. I know all his friends are in band, but he is hating it so bad, cuz she won't get the fuck off his back about stuff that he can't do or that isn't his fault.

I'm putting him in a "general music" class. They study all types of music. Classical, native american, african, all sorts and they get to try all the different instruments. I think he will like that alot better, then next year in 7th grade he will be allowed to join guitar like he really wants too.

Sorry not a good post, but I have been ticked off.

Hope you all have a good Thursday. I'm off to get some stuff done, and go to the concert. Enjoy everyone!!!!
