@facecandyjenna: Replying to @jessica_e570 Curious to hear more thoughts on this #MomsofTikTok #teachersoftiktok #elementaryschool #safetypatrol #parentsoftiktok #facecandyjenna
I now have other parents reaching out telling me how they’ve been absolutely bullied by the principal. Looks like I’ve got a fun time ahead.

Megan_Kinz :
Did every other kid on safety patrol have to be watched for 3 weeks beforehand? Not fair.

It’s unfair that they’re making him do extra.

Deanna :
As an educator especially to 4th graders the three week period is so unfair. If they can not support their reasons they have no proof to not allow him

jeanineisgood :
I don’t like that they’re putting it on him, if they choose to not put him on he’s going to think he failed.

we rotate our safety patrol teams. it works so well I am co-chair and would love to share what we do with you

I don't like this for him. it feels like a moved goal post and too much pressure for an extended (potential) disappointment. 🥺

Hippiemom2015 :
I still prefer the idea of rotating. I full agree with everything you said

Especially since they can only do it in 5th grade… they go years and look forward to it.

Jessica :
Seems like they are trying to make him work extra hard to become a patrol when everyone else did not have to do so.

widdlesNfurd :
Do they watch all the other kids for 3 weeks before being out on safety patrol??

Em ✨ :
The three week observation period is definitely an odd decision on their end. I wonder if they think he doesn’t actually want to be part of it.

🕸️👻Jennie👻🕸️ :
It seems like the safety patrol is pretty big. 40 kids?! I mean why can’t everyone that wants to do it get a chance if they’re basically a good kid?

Ann Monroe785 :
This is weird. It really makes it seem like he fell short of expectations but why won’t they tell you how? If he didn’t fall short, why the 3 weeks?
2023-01-14 01:14:12

Em :
Ugh. It’s putting a lot of pressure on him. 3 week thing is bogus to me.

Tonya Hinkle :
Maybe talk to him and tell him to be himself for the next three weeks and if he doesn’t get the position, then it’s not on him and or his fault.
2023-01-14 02:33:10

Rachel Badachel :
Making him jump through hoops when he’s already set his goal to be included is a little extreme to me. They basically said you weren’t good enough yet

Sarcasm_and_Lace :
Three weeks!?? That seems excessive. That's like 3 months in kid time.

Steph | Name Consultant :
this seems like such an odd response from the principal, I'm sorry you're dealing with this! I hope your son gets to be on it for his sake though!

Dee Jay :
When I was a safety patrol, only kids with all “A’s” could apply. And we took a 2 week training during the summer.

Yamile Soto :
They should rotate and how can they tell a child that if that was me I would be anxious about being perfect it’ll cause me to be vary upset if I don’t get it for a little mistake

ResponsibleGrape :
“We’re going to watch you for the next 3 weeks.”
What in the fuck? 🤦🏼♀️How is this person a principal?!

lilg :
Sounds fishy to me, being an ex-teacher, I think they are going to try and find something they don’t like to have an excuse. I’m sorry.

Nicole 🦊 :
They are going to knock his spirit. He is eventually going to say oh forget it and think hes not good enough! 🥺 they are being ridiculous about this situation. Go mom!!!!

Angie :
Why are they taking the safety patrol so seriously….jeez. Poor guy. I hope it doesn’t make him feel bad about himself!

Ciavey :
They are acting like he is on some sort of probation and that’s not fair.

Steff Kowalski :
I was an undiagnosed adhd kid, and they did this to me. That teacher was a bully to me, upon reflecting
2023-01-14 01:47:50

Kristina Westmark :
I strongly dislike this idea. It's unfair and extra strain. They need to change the program now and give all the kids a chance and not do all yr.

Chibi Mistress :
I don’t like the three week deal. Why does he have to do extra?

Brittany Massey :
seems half hearted with no real merit behind their selection process. is that protocol for all students? why him? I know he's going to find his thing!

MJ & Pedro :
tell em to stick it. tell your son he's,going to be going to big school this year were he'll have more responsibilities xxx

SleekGeek88 :
That doesn’t make any sense. How many 5th grade classes are there? Our school has two and I think there is a rotation.
2023-01-14 02:44:02

Karissa :
That is a lot of scrutiny and pressure on a child. All of his teachers carefully watching him to make one misstep. Yikes.

Kayla Lunt :
A role model is a leader not a shadow or mirror. I think the school board needs to hear about it, try to find out if other kids are experiencing it.

nobletiger21 :
As a teacher, at my school the closest equivalent we have is Crossing Guards. It used to be just 5th grade until our attendance went down (small

follygirlrn :
What kid isn’t loud in the lunchroom??!? I feel like this is being handled so incorrectly! I’m sorry mom! Please keep us posted!!

Beck :
This seems so wrong. They are putting higher expectations on your son. I would be going to the superintendent about this because he is being singled out.

user1723594221267 :
Why don’t all the kids have to demonstrate being a role model for three weeks. This is unfair. (Fifth grade teacher here)
2023-01-14 05:22:18

CasObserver :
Jesus. That's BS. Quite frankly I'd be looking for an extended community equivalent. There are so many opportunities.

KayCee :
If your son has ADHD, “let’s see for 3 weeks” seems wildly unfair. Does he have a 504 plan in place? Honestly this sounds discriminatory
2023-01-14 04:59:14

Amy Pool Kern :
Maybe next year could be a nomination type of process? Like teachers can recommend X amount of kids and then they can whittle down the list from there

PB :
I would totally fight the 3 week thing. I'm sorry but if that's not criteria for all the kids it shouldn't be the criteria for Jackson.

Shelley Cooney :
Ugh. This… I’m sorry. It’s so frustrating. It’s such an opportunity for the school to do something GOOD…

Brandi Boo :
When I was in 5th grade they had something like this and it absolutely was a rotation and each kid got a chance behavior was the only exclusion

Chelsea815 :
This is nonsense, did the other kids get watched ?! And why tell him he will be watched amh way to give him anxiety worrying if he is doin everything

Luv2laugh227🧚♀️💗 :
Ugh 😳 sounds like she’s. Singling him out, so to speak. Ride it out…

emilyandy2018 :
We had something similar at my school! Everyone who wanted it signed up and we had a rotating schedule!
