Today, I had to tell a parent about her son kicking a boy in his class. She blamed me for not watching him. I wasn't watching him because I was turned around to care for another boy he had hit right before that. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I learned my son has been picking on a girl he has a crush on. He apparently went too far, because she finally snapped and beat him up at recess. The teacher, who knew about this from the beginning and actively did nothing, is trying to throw me under the bus for being oblivious to my son's behavior. FML
Today, while picking my daughter up from school, I saw her being beaten by two boys while the teacher stood there doing nothing. I ran to help, but then she pushed one of the boys off her. The teacher then pulled her away, yelled at her and then yelled at me for "not raising my kid right." FML
Today, the woman I babysat for blamed me for the cut on her son's face, and fired me with no pay for not looking after him properly. He already had the cut when I arrived. FML
Today, I was told I was disrespectful for letting a parent know that her son was disrespecting adults. FML
Today, a parent was too busy texting to notice her child had run in front of a moving truck. She did however see me grab the child's backpack to yank him back out of traffic. She then screamed at me for "manhandling" her child and demanded I be fired. It's not even my school; I'm a part time sub. FML
Today, my mom was watching me during my Taekwondo lessons. She was yelling at me to focus on my own work and to quit hanging out with the little kids. I'm the instructor. FML
Today, I apparently didn’t teach my son the difference between defending himself from bullies and knocking out the bully's teeth, breaking his nose, cracking his ribs, and grinding his fingers under his boot until the bone splintered. Yes, the cops are involved and my ex-wife blames me, of course. FML
Today, someone called the police on me because one of my students was going home with me every day. The student is my son. FML
Today, as a teacher, I saw a younger boy kick an older boy in the crotch and I reported it in our online system. Despite typical consequences for violence (automatic suspension), the department head, a drinking buddy of the boy's parents, gave him only a single detention. Now, the department head is harassing me for reporting the incident. FML
Today, my child was refusing to leave the playground. I had to pry her, screaming and crying, from the monkey bars. I then realized I had been assaulting someone else's kid. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Get the school administration involved - violence points to a larger issue, and that's not something you can deal with alone.

You should have subdued the little terrorist before tending to his victims. He's at least a second-generation bully. Hog-tie the little bastard and make his douchebag mother take him out like yesterday's trash.

That's when I would of said why haven't you been teaching your kid some damn manners? Tell her you're a teacher, not a freaking babysitter.

It's "would have said" it only sounds like "of" when spoken. "would've" is how you'll see it written.

While I support all these comments and you, OP, I have to wonder what you were doing the first time he hit/kicked a kid?

Teachers don't have eyes in the back of their heads, they can't watch everything at once. And even if she was watching the kid from across the room, he could have got the first punch out before she had a chance to say or do anything. Kid's mum needs to discipline.

Did you explain that to her?

Whoa, bad scene. Dad was too weak and the idiot that wasn't involved chose to intervene. Almost the definition of life today. Remove the kid from the scene and discipline them. No, don't beat them though a "pop on the butt" may be warranted. My kids know that such outbreaks won't be tolerated. They know that if they act up in public they will be disciplined They also know I love them more than anything and will always protect them from harm. Hate to be political but it's the liberals that are causing these problems. Children need strong parents that will protect them and teach them. They don't need a freaking village.

The kid and the momma both need help.

yes! This is the only thing I dislike about my job... dealing with parents like that. You get taught to always treat them with respect, and how to phrase things delicately to get your point across without sounding too harsh, but there will always be that one parent out of a hundred that will accuse you of it being your fault because you weren't controlling their child. With parents like that, they need a swift kick up the a**e and a stern talking to. The child learns from the parents and if the parents don't seem to care, the child will grow up to be a little delinquent. At least until they're old enough to figure out the rules for themselves.

some school you teach at...

If you hate to be political, don't be so. There are folks on both sides of the political spectrum who believe in whipping the kid's ass if they deserve it (among other punishments) and then those that do not.

Oh no! He's school grounded since she obviously isn't of help!
