So my daughter came home from school with a warning from her guidance counselor. Evidently my daughter asked a student "Do you believe in God?". The parents of that child came to school and complained about it. The guidance counselor told my daughter that this was harassment. So now we have to meet the teacher next week????
I partially agree with this since this is public school and those type of discussions are generally not allowed. However, my daughter was asking innocently (she is in church school as well) and wasn't trying to harass.
At the same time I'm trying to figure out what type of "oversensitive" parents are these.
So does the OP, the teacher, the administrator, the other student and the other student's parents.
We either go off what was posted or don't bother posting anything to any thread anywhere unless you 100% know all facts.
So yeah, your version has us closing the forums because no one knows for sure about much of anything, or, ya know, we can do what people have been doing since before the discovery of fire.
If the story changes, I'm sure my opinion would too. Just because you take something at face value doesn't mean you assume it's the only possibility. To discourage a discussion taken at face value is obtuse.
Look at it this way, if the OP is correct and the kid's being punished for what were told here, a discussion here prior to him visiting the administrators would be helpful. Right?
If he's not correct there's a million other versions of what could have happened, there's no reason to discuss those possibilities.
I gotta tap out of this one.
I'm not listening to you and you're not hearing me.
I'm argumentative and I need to put the internets down before I get dragged down any further into this hole.
I'll leave this.
I don't think students asking about god or talking about god in school is wrong nor a concern of the school unless it causes disruption.
I don't see why the girl got in trouble based on the comment, so I suspect something else is going on (left unsaid)
I see nothing wrong with the teacher requesting a meeting with the OP after the incident. Teacher obviously has something the parent should know.
If parents call the school, my expectation is that staff take action. Whether its a simple acknowledgement, email or calling a meeting.
