School Administrator Bitch....

Imagine yourself sitting at your office desk, doing your work. You are a school secretary. A small five year old boy comes into your office with a badly banged up wrist. You give him some ice and send him to sit on a bench outside your office. He is alone he is scared and he is crying.

Would you feel comfortable sending him outside your office to sit alone while his parents came to pick him up? Well I know I sure would not but apparently my son's school secretary did.
My son was pushed in his gym class, he fell and many hours later after long emergency room waits we found out that he broke it. He was sent to the office for ice and then sent home to me because he was swelling and in obvious pain.

I think it took me 4 minutes to get to him at school and when I arrived, that was the scene. My scared little boy,crying and shaking on the bench , alone outside the office clutching his arm. A secretary who did not even offer him one moment of her time, not one OUNCE of her compassion to soothe him if even for a moment. She could not even offer him a seat close to her while he waited for my arrival. She did nothing. She simply buzzed us into his school and never looked at us again and just continued her work.
What is wrong with this world? It plays on me over and over again and I cannot shake it! Suddenly as individuals we cannot for one moment think about someone who is hurt or take one moment to share some warmth or love to another human being.

Imagine, all she would have had to do was sit with him a moment, give him some words of comfort, spend a little time with him and maybe his tears would have stopped or his nerves would have calmed or even his mood simply taken away for a brief moment about how much pain he was actually in.. I guess that was asking too much.

What do I do now? Confront her? Like she would care, it would not make a difference. She is a cold bitch and she also happens to be the go to woman at an elementary school!
