May lose job!!!

[Janet]

I'll try not to type a book. We have been friends with this family ever since my son and their oldest son were in kindergarten, they are best friends. Okay...last Thursday their middle son (9th grade) who has always caused me a few problems said some horrific things to an 8th grade girl. He told her she paid for sex, f***ed animals, was a c**k juggling whore and more. I skipped my steps of #1. a warning, #2. calling the parents, I went straight for #3 which is writing him up. I thought what he had said warranted this. He was given detention and I have him sitting in the front seat. It was obvious he doesn't know how to talk and treat others his age in the back of the bus.

Well, last night his mother called and said they would be taking the boys to and from school (I thought, this is great, no more problems) and I said Okay. Then she went off on me telling me I had no right to write him up without her knowing and that her boys don't lie or talk like that (he admitted it to the Assist. Princ.). I don't like to argue so I told her I did what I felt best and was not going to argue with her, then I hung up the phone.

She called back a minute later and I yelled for one of the boys to answer the phone and my husband did. She didn't say Hi or I need to talk with Janet, she just went straight into yelling at him saying her boys don't lie..I picked up the extension and told her not to bring my husband into this, it did not concern him and then I heard a "click." I said into the phone to my husband "what a b*t*h".

I then hung up the phone and went to talk with him. He asked what that was all about and said he heard me tell her not to bring him into it and then he hung up. I said: "You hung up?" He said yes! So it looks like she was the one still on the phone when I said "what a b*t*h" not my husband.

She is the type to not let things go and will probably try to get me fired. I love my job and love "my kids"! The only thing I can hope for is that IF she tells the higher authorities that they will listen to my explaination and believe me.

So, even though I still feel I did the right thing, the possibility is still there for me to lose my job. Please keep me in your prayers, I think I'm going to need them.
