my heart in a dumpster

 sunday was fine, right until i arrived at the school to pick up mr smear. the councilor informed me that he'd destroyed another kid's artwork, the same kid he'd thrown a rock at a month ago. that was bad enough. later, after putting him to bed, his teacher called, and dropped a whole bunch of horrible news items on us. he's been straight-up bullying these two kids non-stop, and while the first of them is understandable (he welcomed mr smear last year with non-stop griefing and made him miserable), the second is purely because he's an easy target.

bother those kids had a birthday party on the weekend which phoenix disinvited himself to, and we were mortified to learn that he'd been trying to convince the other kids not to go either. m*****f*****.

in addition to that side of the story, we wanted to know more about the kid who's purportedly been beating up mr smear regularly. he's autistic, and the kids with him are also in "special ed". and, it appears, mr smear insists on finding them during recess. a girl-friend of his joined / joins him (not clear if it was a once-off thing), and she ended up getting bashed in the face with a stick.

gods help us.

today the kids went on a hike, and apparently everything went fine and everyone had a good time. but there was a minor incident in the after-school program. minor, but ffs we need this shit to end.

...

i'm on-call since this morning. pray for me.
