My daughter has been having trouble with the school social worker being too, what's a good word? Um nosey I guess... Well, they say she came to school smelling funny a few times and instead of calling me and asking me to come in and talk about it, they called Child Protective Services to come investgate me. The Child Protective worker, found no problem with me, my house or anything else. Long story short, the school wasn't satisfied, so they decided to call animal control and tell them we had 15 to 20 cats in our house!!!! What nerve!!! Obviously we don't have that many cats. We do have a number of cats, yes. But no where near that many, come on now. The principal admited to me that she herself had made the call. How dare she. Who does she think she is?? How would she feel if I did that to her? The animal control officer, after seeing that, no we did not have that many cats, only asked if their shots were up to date.
That upset me as much, if not more than her calling Child Services. I mean what does my child's school have to do with my cats? Can anyone here tell me who has the right to tell me how many cats are "too many cats"? The principal told me I had "too many cats". I guess she thought it was her job to help me with that "problem"? Some people have no respect at all....

Yes...the child protective services and the animal control people did their jobs. The principal is the one who escalated it WAY to fast. And the fact that she made the one call anonymously...come on. If she can't call in her official capacity, then she obviously doesn't have enough proof to warant it.
I'll admit though, I am greatly against school principals, guidance councelors, and social workers. People in those jobs caused unwarranted problems in my mom's school life when she was growing up. So she raised my siblings and myself to have an inherant distrust of those people. I had my own problems with guidance councelors, as it was, and I was a good student and never caused problems. I just was "quiet", and refused to play their little "you have to do volunteer work if you want to get your report card" games.
