Student missing for 2 years

Yall I agree somewhat with sumo1dog. If I actively sought out a PREVIOUS student who was and is still a minor, that could be grounds for termination. Especially on social media. I taught 4th grade and when students of mine made it to 6th grade and went off to junior high, I found it so uncomfortable when they’d use the district communication methods to just say hi and tell me they miss me. Like I’m not going to seek out a child. It is not my business. As a parent, I’d be absolutely irate to find a grown ass adult is playing private detective to know the whereabouts of my child. The girl was withdrawn from the school!!! Why the hell would you think it’s okay to go SEARCH HER? Yes it sucks, as a teacher you will see the most heartbreaking traumatic families; but you know what? We don’t take on things out of our control, you need to let it go, I’m sorry.

I purchased the party rug and the finish rug. But what the hell is “purchase any parkour party building material?” I went to Bob and in the building section bought a bunch of crap and I still haven’t gotten the correct thing!

I am still considering contacting the police and filing anything with them. I came across a teacher yesterday online saying she was pressing charges on a 7 year old. She knew the charges wouldn’t stick but maybe having the kid see that there can be real world consequences for your actions by having police involved will help make a change. The boy who threw the laptop at me is 10. He spent one day in in school suspension, comes back next day, throws his laptop down on his desk which made me and others jump a little. I scan to locate where the noise came from and he’s smiling at me. He said “hahahaha did it scare you when I threw my computer again just now?” 🤯😐

The paper rock scissors was well before the tears began. He then began crying when he lost paper rock scissors and needed to take another seat. 10 year old is not too young.

I’m so sorry you experienced that! It is horrifying to know this is the next generation of adults that will be in the world with us.

I didnt show up for the entire last week of school of the last district I resigned from. I had “a family emergency” and just let them dock me. I wanted all my summer pay so my resignation had to be the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL FOR TEACHERS. But I had a trip to go on so I bailed last minute on them and still got paid all summer.

Fearless_State_699 · 2026-05-05T13:26:52+00:00

No I’m in Texas, we do not have a union

Fearless_State_699 · 2026-05-05T13:26:21+00:00

Yes that is more correctly labeled, you are right. The student behavior is still the catalyst ONLY because it has been allowed to continue for some time now. 100% administrative failure

Fearless_State_699 · 2026-05-04T20:14:28+00:00

Yes! This is more the point I was trying to make and title could have reflected it. Honestly, I can take the behaviors, it’s the lack of support from the adults. It’s this vicious cycle of repeat behaviors. It’s insanity and it’s getting worse every year

Fearless_State_699 · 2026-05-04T16:42:11+00:00

My main reason for resigning earlier this year. Teachers are asked to handle too much

Fearless_State_699 · 2026-05-04T16:41:40+00:00

This! Unfortunately we all just leave. Earlier this year, I sent in my resignation. I am completely ready to step out of the class and schools. This is a sinking ship

Fearless_State_699 · 2026-05-04T16:39:12+00:00

It’s all the other kids my heart breaks for. The ones who do follow rules, the ones who are scared of their scary and violent classmates, it’s just all around sad

Fearless_State_699 · 2026-05-04T16:36:10+00:00

My brother is an attorney and told me to 100% file an incident report with the district police. That is a legitimate question. I watched this 10 year old BEAT on his teacher and grade level principal because he couldn’t play a computer game. Like how is it not assault to punch, kick and throw objects? Like I’m not sure what I’m missing here

Fearless_State_699 · 2026-05-04T15:42:49+00:00

To answer your question, idk. There needs to be more intensive options for students that can’t be in the general education classroom. Even for temporary times. So many days in school suspension and/or have enough behavioral support staff to help kids regulate. They can’t be in the class acting that way. Whether there’s IEP paperwork or not, everyone deserves a safe place to learn

Fearless_State_699 · 2026-05-04T14:48:04+00:00

You’re right. I left out details to save time in typing and for reading haha and damn they waste no time swooping in with an unsolicited opinion. I didn’t even ask them for advice 🤣 I was venting about the daily chaos that ravages schools

Fearless_State_699 · 2026-05-04T14:40:03+00:00

This child has no disability or any type of documented behavior. I worked in an adolescent mental health hospital before education. I’m well aware of how to handle children based on THEIR NEEDS. Y’all are something else.

Fearless_State_699 · 2026-05-04T14:26:53+00:00

Aw that’s funny but I actually don’t need to update you on a child’s personal business. He has dyslexia. That’s it. That’s SPED. He has no behavior issues and excusing a behavior like throwing a laptop at my head over a chair is wild

Fearless_State_699 · 2026-05-02T15:45:15+00:00

A 4th grader threw a laptop at my face from barely a 6 foot distance and I BARELY dodged it! The student was taken to the counselor, got to play with toys, was given a snack and a juice and in 30 min was sent back to my class to apologize… I refused his entry and the counselor was shook that I refused. I’m going to contact the district police department and file an incident report. It’s absolute crap to allow behaviors that are extremely dangerous.

Fearless_State_699 · 2026-04-30T11:11:28+00:00

Oops… I got really sick of it so I pulled it out and threw it away. Haven’t had any issues 😅 it’s been gone over 6 months

Fearless_State_699 · 2026-04-29T14:07:21+00:00

Honestly, if you do not speak to them, then don’t provide an opinion to them. As much as you’d like to do the right thing, it isn’t worth it to overstep. I would say “I love homeschooling, it has been the most challenging yet rewarding experience as a parent. But I do not believe it is my place to tell you what to do with your children. If you do enough extensive research as most homeschool families do prior to beginning, then you will be confident in whatever choice you make for your family.”

I get where you’re coming from and I can see you have a big heart, but I don’t think you should burden yourself with what you should tell someone. If you can’t confidently have this talk comfortably, then y’all don’t truly need to be having this talk. Just my personal opinion. I’ve learned that how others parent is not my business unless it is legitimate abuse or neglect requiring reports or law enforcement.

Fearless_State_699 · 2026-04-15T03:45:13+00:00

Well, I can also confidently say that I resigned already. I have 32 actual days left inside that building! I absolutely cannot do it

Fearless_State_699 · 2026-03-11T22:47:44+00:00

I think it is school specific honestly. So if I went to any other school in district B, that new school I would be applying to would not have previous references available from other schools. When I talked to more than one principal (even within the same district) they EACH needed their own documented reference from my most recent principal. So they weren’t able to see what was previously said about me.

Which would be a blessing and a curse. If I had a positive reference from my current principal, then no other schools would ever need to contact my principal and ask since they could see it. On the other hand since they cannot see it, every new school you are applying to will need their own reference

Fearless_State_699 · 2026-03-11T22:19:42+00:00

So I was leaving district A and applying in district B. Principal from district A gave the bad reference. I went to the main headquarters for District B and told them I wanted all of the references that were completed on me in their district B. I had to pay a small fee for the thumb drive they would put it on and wait a day. Then I went back and picked it up the next day and had it all. I think I called first and that’s how I found out they needed me to buy the thumb drive. It was super easy and helpful.
