Today I went to the high school to deliver S's book bag to him. ( He is a teenage boy, ergo he is stupid. He left his book bag in the car. ) I know who his teachers are, where their classrooms are, and when he is in those classes. I had to start work soon, and the bus lot is beside the high school, right next to the building where S was in class. So I went in, gave the bag to him. On my way out, a small minded troll lady teacher thing stopped me to tell me I need to check in with the front office whenever I go to the school. She recognised me as a bus driver, and knows I have children in the school.
When I explained that I was there just to give something to the boy, she said "nevertheless, if you don't check in, you are considered to be tresspassing." Hell, lady, I work here! You know who I am! I am here for the benefit of my student! What kind of tight-assed stupid-rule-following bitch are you?
So rather than saying "well, then, go get the resource officer to arrest me," I thanked her very much (with my most sarcastic smile) and went to work. Steaming.
yada, yada, the rest of the work day, etc.
So when I got back after driving my route, I went to see my boss about some bus issues (which may show up in another post ). We got those things squared away for now, and then he says he got a call from the high school principal today. Fuck a duck. That bitch. I have tried to have meetings with this bitch a few times in the last three years. Never has she been available to meet with me. My daughter Light tried to interview her for the school newspaper last year, and the bitch wouldn't give her five minutes. Now, today I walk into the school to help out my boy, and she's all over my ass. (and not in a good way AT ALL)
My boss is a cool fella, though. He knows my intentions, he knows how I feel about bull shit rules. He knows that he would be hurting if I left him. He said all the right things, trying to assuage me. He is very diplomatic that way. So I'll let the system fuck me over. Again. And I will try to make it through Twitch's high school career, then try to find some alternative schooling for the two younger ones.

The joys of the public school system - sadly, they seem to have the same small mind set most everywhere.
thanks for visiting my blog! i've been reading through yours, and this post brought up a question...if you're the mom of a high school boy, why are you interested in my gay boy blog? i'm REALLY glad you are! it's just kinda strange! :-) But maybe i'll figure it out as i read more of yours.
Oh, Matt, the story I have for you! The boy in question here is really an unofficial foster child. He's been abandoned by his parents. He is the boyfriend of the other boy who is also my unofficial foster son, who was kicked out of his home by his mom when he came out to her. Both of these boys, yes, are gay. I need to post the whole story on the blog very soon. It is sort of my "coming out" story. The story of my transformation from right wing fundie homophobe to staunch gay rights supporter.
