I can't sleep

I can't sleep these days... why?  becasue I have been working at my kids school as a Para in one of the rooms that happens to be in Brandon's hallway.  It was and is a long term assignment.  The second week I was working Brandon had a difficult night going to sleep and a LOT of stuff on his mind came pouring out.  Needless to say, I stop a teacher or two and had some small chats.  I apologized for coming in their rooms and I was told it was and it was ok, not to worry.

Well it really wasn't because I was called in by the vice principle and was told I was not to bother the teachers about my son while I was working.  I had to write a note or email like I wasn't in the building.  Could I do that or was this going to be a problem.  Yes I could do it and no it would not be a problem.  However, if you are a teacher and you have a persistant parent or one that does have concerns about their child and you don't like it set a meeting with the parent and make the guidelines.  Don't run to the office like a child and complain.  I don't know what upset me more, being called it and talked to like a child (that is the way our vp is with all) or the fact that a teacher would not say.. I would love to talk to you but lets make an appt because I have blah blah to do.  Because Brandon is in middle school he has several teachers and a resource teachers.. and the ones I spoke with for a brief moment before school said I was not bothering them and it was ok to stop and ask anytime.  Why say that when you don't mean it? 

I do understand the need not to interupt a teacher and I can respect that.  But show a parent that and not run to the office, I think if a teacher had said I will get back to you and then did that is fine, but when they don't it gets confusing.  Sorry these thoughts are in my head.

I guess it is because when Brandon's mind is in the middle of something, now is when you deal with it.  Talking about it later or bringing it back up, he might not be able too.  He can't sometimes so I have to teach in the moment.  Trying to get people to understand that can be really hard.  There I think I feel better.
