Yup, she was intimidated by him.  According to my daughter and another child in the class...he didn't talk back.  He did say..."You don't want my mother to come here..."  She verified that exactly how he said it. 

This is what she said:

"The classroom was out of control."  (Yup, that's The Diva's major complaint.  She yells and tries to intimidate the kids that she chooses.)   "I couldn't take attendance because it was so chaotic."  Now, why would a teacher admit to this incompetence?  I did agree attendance is important in a time of bomb threats and school shootings.  Hey, I'm reasonable.

Anyway, she told me she couldn't get them to settle down.  She stated he was staring at her and someone said something inappropriate ...mind you while she was staring at him.  She said she couldn't say it was him...but she told him to leave anyway.  So, I asked..."So you pinpointed him...could it be because you are afraid of him?"   "So, you threw him out because you were scared of him staring at you....."  Yes and no.  Proceeded by "What are you trying to say?"  Are you trying to say something?"

 Question: "Do you usually throw kids out of the class?" 

"No.  I talk to them in the back room, but I had to gain control of the class."

"By throwing my son out of class?" 

"Yes. The class was still disorderly, but I was trying to gain control.  I had to show them."

"By throwing my son out of class?"

"He has charisma.  He is well liked.  With teens, they egg each other on."

She used my son to try to gain control of a class she can't control. 

Long story short yes...but then she said...Are you accusing me of racism?

She adds:

"I just want to let you know...I didn't write him up.  But after talking to you...I think I should have."

Perception is reality. 

I'm definitely living in the wrong place.  I swear I'm living in the twilight zone.

Perception is reality?!?!?

Ok.  How did it end.  I tell her a little about the racism I've encountered.  She told me she would have never done that....

She told me my son was well behaved and she NEVER had a problem with him in the past.  She told me, "she really dont know him that well.  She didn't teach a class...it was study hall.  Regardless, she never had a problem with him before."  He was well behaved, but in this particular day she decided to exert her authority and use my son as an example. 

Ok.  Yeah. 

Next. She asked where I live.  I tell her.  She tells me she lives in so and so town.  I tell her "Oh, that's great.  That town is so integrated.  " 

Her next words:

"Oh yes, we have all kinds.  A nice mixture.  Between you and me, my husband and I always say all the poor whites live in my town and all the Blacks own the houses."  This was preceeded by giggle- giggle.

Nah...she's not racist. 

What say you?
