I don't blame you one bit for being upset. The school board in every county thinks just as soon as a child starts kindergarden that they are an adult and they treat them as they have no feelings whatsoever. I do admire you for calling a meeting with the school and the school board, but I hate to tell you, that I don't think that it will do much good because they do as they want no matter who it hurts and all that ever comes out of their mouths is that they care so much about our children, well bull snot, they don't give a hoot about the kids or the parents, it is the almighty dollar that they care about. I am sorry to be so blunt, but this just makes me so upset to see how that our kids are treated in this world. Everyone there will be in my prayers and I hope that the children and the wonderful teacher adjusts to the new arrangement.............  |

White Fawn I totally agree the school board wont do a thing about it at all. And thier is no way possible a lil peon like me would ever get on a school board as big as this one here in Columbus. The point I am hoping to make is to the PTA here at the home school to see if there is anything we can do as parents to protect our children and thier feelings. Its a shame they can treat them as adults but thier feelings dont count at all.  |

Unfortunately, it's highly unlikely that the decision will be reversed for any reason. Economically speaking, it might be the best for the school long term. And if the board believes that they're justified, they will feel little remorse for the situation. -  |

I agree with you completly, although I believe that you can do more than you think. While maybe you wont change their decision about this particular teacher you may make them think twice before doing this again.  |

Aww, that's heartbreaking. Sometimes the schoolboard really doesn't make sense. they could've at least moved a 3rd or 4th grade teacher if they really had to.  |

This is just totally wrong! They should have done this before school started or waited until the new school year is over to make such a move like this. Those children shouldn't be subjected to this, it makes learning a little more difficult. When my son was in 5th grade he had 4 different teachers because of different reasons. He had a tough time academically that year.Hopefully everything will turn out ok...... Green Eyed Froggy  |

They did the same thing here two weeks into the school year. It was the grade one teacher though. They sent the teacher to another school. Its so hard on the little ones.  |

Thank you all for the support. I am getting ready to take her into school now and had to call off a job until later just to do so. She is just as scared as she was the first day. I dont think they care that this is hard on the kids and the parnets we cant just drop them off today and hope they make it to thier new class. |

Ok so she went to school and was happy to see some of her friends were in her class. It was total caios and thier were lil lost kids stumbling around everywhere. 2 other parents and I helped each kid find thier new class. It was unbelievable that most parents just dropped thier kids off to find thier own way! They are 5 and 6 for christ sake. Oh well she seems to like the new teacher and after talking with the principal there seems to be nothing anyone can do, its all the schoolboards decision. Ill update agian after she gets home. |

Gosh, I hope you and the other parents can do something about this situation. It's a shame since she is doing so well and the kids love her so much. It doesn't seem right to separate them now.  |
