The experience with my son turned him into an activist. All the way through middle and high school, he stood up to challenge teachers when they got off on something weird. Made him a target, though, as he got the labeled a troublemaker and was sent to more than one school psychologist. But he always got the best of them too. Sample:
Psychologist: "Have you ever considered suicide?"
Jeremy: "No. But how do you know I'm telling the truth?"
Psychologist: "Tell me about your sex life."
Jeremy : "I'm 13 years old and you've known me for, what, 20 minutes and you ask me a question like that? Why don't you tell me about your sex life?"
Believe me, we did all we could to stand up to those people, time after time after time. I would've taken my son out in a heartbeat but he wanted to stick it out. He was a very strong young man, a warrior type, and outspoken about his faith as well as his moral principles.
Our daughter, OTOH, was a more vulnerable child. We homeschooled her until junior high, then placed her in a small private Christian school. After that, when she was strengthened to withstand the shaking, we allowed her to go to the public high school. Since she has many, many peers of like faith who also attend the school, and we have stayed on top of what goes on, it works out fine.
Parents are generally conditioned to trust school authorities, and also just too tired to fight through a lot of stuff they'd rather not know about. The kids don't always tell parents, either, and the schools sure as heck aren't going to.
We need more kids like your son in every public school classroom.
Without your permission? I would have raised bloody hell. Kudos to your brave son.
I had been sent to my fair share of head shrinkers when I was in school; the laugh out loud funniest was when one of them said about me I was a paranoid schizophrenic after having spoken to me a grand total of one hour. The thing is, they did not have the chutzpah to say it to my face. It was in my school records however, and I did not know about the contents until they were sent up to my school after I transferred to another state.
Now do you understand why I don't put much credence in the mental health profession?
ROTFLMAO!!!
You should be PROUD!
Actually, you should have sued the scumbag. That's harrassment with intent to seduce a 13 year old. You could have kept the scumbag away from other kids forever.
Maybe you still can.
Shalom.
