DS is taking a Spanish class at his old elementary school (after school - run by private company, just using the space). His class meets in the art room. The art teacher has *always* left art projects out - not things that need to dry, just finished projects left out in random places in the room for who knows what reason. Last week there was a big peice of plywood precariously perched on a stool full of projects made from wadded-up newspaper & masking tape. DS walks in with the 10 other K'ers & accidentally knocks it down. He immediately apologizes to the art teacher (her back was turned when it happened) & is completely remorseful. I apologize for him. She glares at him, glares at me, picks all the items up, puts the entire peice of plywood w/ the items on an available shelf & walks off in a huff.
This week, miracle of miracles, everything is put away for a change & we get a lecture at the beginning of class about respecting other people's property - that we've not been careful about the things in the room.
Seriously? You are a grown adult - if you don't want things to be damaged in the presence of 5 year-olds - PUT THEM AWAY! & if an accident happens when you've not put them away, don't blame the child, especially if they've apologized & are obviously sorry about it. & when a child apologizes to you, especially if it was an accident, don't glare at them & walk away in a huff. Get over yourself & grow up!
Thank the Lord DS isn't interacting with morons like that every day.
