Teacher Complaint: Mrs. Kubic - Ps 107 Thomas A. Dooley

I didnt see my childs homework book in his back pack the night prior to homework being due, so I helped him with part of his work then the rest we left undone for the next day. I thought it was because we hadnt purchased the $100 worth of items requested to be returned to the teacher by EVERY parent at our earliest convinience. Im a working mother, go to school and I'm up at 6am daily. I mistakenly thought maybe we didnt get a notebook bc i hadnt purchased and returned the items on the list, so I went out Monday night, purchased eveything and returned it with my son the next day, along with a note explaining why partial homework was missing. I work as a nanny for 2 children; I missed a call Tuesday morning requesting me to call Mrs. Kubic in regards to my childs homework. I call back within the hour and before I can even BEGIN to explain or ask if she saw my note attached in front of my sons folder [which she hadnt read or she would've understood why it was missing], Im cut off and unable to speak. I keep saying "yes ma'am but.." so I can tell her that the reason why he hadn't written his name 5 times in the book, is because I couldnt find it. That was my wrong doing. But her interrupting me and lecturing me on parenting was uncalled for. It was mere miscommunication on my behalf not seing the notebook burried on the bottom of the already large back pack. But she continued to lecture me on my parenting abilities [or lack there of to be exact] and how I should stay on top on his homework and hes lacking in his writting skills because he can't even write his name on the lines in lower case letters. I felt so embarassed and ashamed because she made me feel like my child is stupid and I do nothing to help him further his knowledge. We've always done activities together, like numbers, colors, alphabet and even began reading 3 letter words in the summer.. I just taught him how to write his name in upper case letters. Last year he had Mrs.Jacob and if possible I'd love for the principal to ask her how well Alexi did in her class while there. Who taught him everything he knew before he went to pre-k? And I still do. But each time i tried to explain to her that it was my mistake not seing the book, she kept interrupting me but with such nice tone yet her words were so bitter. I told her I was tired from working all day and thats why I probably missed the notebook. She said " well your child can't be doing homework at 10 o'clock at night after you get off work, thats when he is suppose to be sleeping." She assumed things about me, and I feel it has to do with my appearance. Why does she assume I work late night? Is she not tired after getting off of her job at 3 or 4 PM? I work from 7am-5pm mon-fri. I never said to her we did homework at 10pm. My child is asleep by 8 and up at 630, so her assuptions were wrong as well as her delivery. With all due respect, a teacher is there to teach children. If I needed to see a family therapist in regards to how I raise my son [if I were doing it incorrectly by someone elses standards] I'd pay good money and go speak to one.
Needless to say I caught up with all his work that night and unfortunately he has been sick since, so I kept him home the rest of the week at the teachers request on orientation day, she asked that all children who are sick, please stay home [and I would've kept him regardless, rather than contaminating everyone].
My son was singing a song today [saturday 17th] about the weather. I asked to hear it and what they do in class while singing it. He said the teacher calls a child up to sing it, and that shes called everyone except him. I asked if he wants to go up there or if hes afraid, or maybe he doesnt know the words.. and his exact words were "no way mama! I want to go up there, I know the song! Listen.." and he sang "weather watcher what do you see?" then he said "But my teacher doesnt call me." I have always been "discriminated" against due to my tattoos, and my "abnormal" appearance. I put discriminated in quotations because I use it loosely. I just feel like I'm treated differently than the other mothers. I dont look like your "regular" mother. My beliefs and choices shouldnt affect my child because others judge me based on what I look like and what I decided to do to my body BEFORE i had my son. I dont mind her thinking badly of me, but from the moment your opinion of me affects my child, then you have yourself a case. I dont know what else I can do besides sit here and take it. Im so frustrated.
