And she's 9 right? A 9 year old borderline.....oh my....

I'm sorry for the child and the craptacular system we live in that lets these kids fall through the cracks. She wont become "priority" until she is 15, doing drugs, cutting her arms up and sleeping with 30 year old men. By then it will be too late. Sad.

It is definitely sad to know how crappy some kids have it and to not really be able to do anything about it.

Aw, that's really sad. I guess she doesn't have a dad at home? What grade do you teach? I don't know how you handle it. Sending kids home when you know that the hours they spend at school are probably the best part of their days.

My sister-in-law is a teacher. She's told me some horrifying stories ... children coming in filthy, hungry, and a year or so ago one of her 12 year old student's told her she was pregnant. Shortly after, the little girl stopped coming to school. She never found out what became of her.

God bless you! I know you probably get sick of hearing it, but teachers are special people.

By the way, I hope your day was better.
