incident #1: my classroom actually got reported to the Child Protection Services (CPS) for alleged child abuse! as in the CPS people (which is kind of like the DSWD back in the Philippines) actually came to the school to interview all the teachers who were with me in the room because a parent from my room complained that her child (whose name is Daniel) came home one day with bruises all over his body. ABA! malay ko naman where he got it! i know i never laid a hand on that boy. sobrang crybaby nga yung kid na yun i would even take him with me to my lunch break just so he wouldn't cry anymore. even one parent mistook him from my son! tapos his mom would accuse me (and the two other teachers with me) of hurting him! kainis talaga! good thing that after the CPS people interviewed all of us they couldn't come up with anything we did wrong. all of my other co-teachers basically gave the same answers to their questions. grr! some parents talaga! i was scared that the police might come and take me away to jail or something! kasi it has happened before in the school i'm working at right now. the teacher wasn't actually arrested or antything but the cops came into her room and actually watched her while she was changing diapers and everything! man! buti na lang that didn't happen to me. my co-teachers were already planning what they were going to do if they get fired and i told them what about me?! i have to go back to the Philippines and they all started laughing at me and reassuring me that i won't get fired and that Daniel's mom didn't think i hurt her child because everybody was telling her that i was her son's favorite teacher. but still! feeling ko tuloy i have a record at the CPS saying i'm a potential child abuser or something! aaggghhh! so frustrating!
incident #2: yesterday, i informed one of the kid'd mom that her son (Euphser, unique name noh?) has been pushing this one boy (Irving) in our room lately. as in, Eupsher always pushes him thinking that they're playing kasi he's always smiling and laughing as he is pushing Eupsher. even when we tell Upsher to stop he still thinks that we're joking and just keeps on smiling and pushing. most of the times we have to carry or drag him away from Irving just so he would stop psuhing him. eto pa, Irving is bigger than Eupsher but Irving is scared of Eupsher because he pushes Irving all the time. so, eto na nga yung concern ko and then i tell Eupsher's mom and Eupsher's mom gets all defensive about it and says that Eupsher is just a baby and he is such a charming boy with great personality. i wasn't even saying anything bad about Eupsher! i just told her that he's been pushing Irving a lot lately and i just thought she might want to know, in case it becomes a bigger problem later on, at least she already has an idea since i told her already. i thought naman she was fine with it. and then kanina, Eupsher's grandma suddenly starts saying that Eupsher's momwas so upset about what i said and they felt i was just picking on Eupsher and was talking about how there are too many black people in the world for me to be putting Eupsher down. and i wasn't even there to defend myself! she was trying to make it seem i was being racist pa! grrr! crazy b***h talaga yun! none of the teachers like that grandma because she keeps on coming to the school and just sitting in the room, watching Eupsher as if we're treating him bad or something. anyways, so after what Eupsher's grandma said i got worried na that the mom might have taken it the wrong way. so i apologized to her this afternoon if i offended her or made her upset about my comment. i told her that i just told her about her son just so she'd know what's happening to him. i didn't mean anything bad about it. but i didn't apologize for telling her that Eupsher was pushing everybody because it was the truth and every teacher in the room knew about it.
incident #3: my a**hole boss told me that i wasn't performing as well as they would like as a lead teacher. after he said that i was asking him in what way was i not doing my job right and he couldn't give me a specific reason and just repeated that i need to exhibit more leadership skills. how the hell would i know what to improve when he can't even tell me specifically what i'm doing wrong?! a**hole talaga! i told a co-teacher what he said and my co-teacher said that just so i won't get a good evaluation and not get a raise. grr! kung hindi ko lang talaga siya kailangan for my papers here- parang ayoko na! tiis lang talaga! sigh...
i hope the rest of the week gets better. please God.

I wholeheartedly believe that a lot of Americans think too much of themselves and believe that they have the right to even the most unreasonable little things.
The prevalent society in the USA is a great example of "freedom and equality" gone wrong.
*rant*rant*
i completely agree with you bit. they think they're better than everybody else- but they are not, far from it.
the most irritating thing pa is that my employer is not even a "real" American. he's Pakistani! grrr!!
I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!
