My daughter is in 2nd grade in advance class at P. S. 206 with the same classmate the past few years. We as parents has had each others contact information since Kindergarten. Another child ran into my daughter and broke her glasses in class. Luckily that piece that broke off did not damage my daughter's eye. The teacher saw the whole incident and ask my daughter to immediately wash her eyes. This pair of glasses was only partial covered by insurance and I paid out of pocket $100 a few months ago. I immediately next day have to purchase another pair from the same vision place that I got the original glasses from and they said that it was not repairable and it is not covered by my insurance.So I needed to purchase another pair of frames with a new pair of lens because the other pair of lens can not be reused and the original frame is discontinued.My daughter has astigmatism and the previous glasses also was good for swimming every weekend. I then wrote a letter to the parents of the child that their child has broken my daughter's glasses with a proof of receipt. That accident cost me $249 and they do not feel to even call me or write to me to apologize.No reply for the past 3 weeks. These people don't feel responsible for there own child's accident nor do they care. I work extremely hard for every dollar and pay my taxes and bills. This accident cost me 3 days of my hard earn money and yet I am a single mother trying to pay off my bills and take care of my own child and not someone else's child. I am very frustrated that they have no intention to contact me and would like some advice on how I can get back my money quickly. This is not a way to go during Christmas.
The teacher also informed me that PS 206 Joseph Lamb Public School is not getting involve in this situation. Now my child thinks because she is underage she is allow to do anything including breaking things without taking any responsibility.As a single parent I try extremely hard to teach my child from right and wrong and this is what I get in return.
This is an Advance Class and there are rules. You can not run around in the class.My Child was only standing in front of her desk and following the rules and guidelines in school. I hope everyone still remember the shooting in Sandy Hook. The mother was trying to teach her child responsibility. Then what happened? her son use her gun to shoot her and other kids and teachers in the school.So tell me what is responsibility means again. Giving a kid or teenager a gun to teach them responsibility.
TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE DO NOT POST. I AM ASKING ON HOW I CAN MOVE FORWARD TO GET BACK MY MONEY. THIS IS NOT MY DAUGHTER'S FAULT NOR MINES!
I understand it is an expensive pair, but my daughter can not fit all glasses.My daughter had a cleft palate and done surgery when she was 10 months old. Due to this she doesn't have a nasal bone. For the past few years she tried on numerous pairs of glasses but they end up falling down or rusting due to her daily nebulizer use. She needs to wear her glasses at all times except for sleeping and showering. I try using other items to hold the glasses up but then it just falls off or give my daughter an headache.My daughter needs to go to swimming sessions on the weekend to hope that it will help with her COPD. This pair of glasses was the best fit and the most comfortable pair she ever worn that also can be worn in the water without rusting.As a parent I want the best for my child.My daughter was very upset and blamed herself for breaking it because she was at school.
FIY this same child had head lice last year and the parents still send the child back to school the very next day. The same child again was sent home again on several occasions within the year but was sent back to school the very next day. Due to this issue the head lice was spreading within this class and other kids missed school. The parents of that child are irresponsible and inconsiderate. This child should not continue to be in this advance class due to improper teaching. Teachers previously has complained to the parents that the child doesn't listen at times. But the child parents doesn't care.It effects everyone else in the class.
Added (1). I remember being a kid and taking responsibilities.As an adult I also teach my child the same way to be responsible for your own actions and think about the consequences.As for that child, she did not listen like always and that is how ACCIDENTS HAPPEN when it shouldn't. Just like her parents (DON'T LISTEN AND DON'T CARE)!!! THEY CARE LESS FOR OTHER. THAT IS WHY THE OTHER STUDENTS ARE SUFFERING FROM HEAD LICE WITH THE PARENTS THAT HAS TO TAKE SEVERAL DAYS OFF OF WORK.
So far no one has answer my question in regards to moving forward in getting my money back for ANOTHER CHILD'S WRONG DOING. MEANING THE CHILD DID NOT LISTEN OR FOLLOW THE RULES. If my child did not listen I will teach her to follow the rules and directions. If she has broken something accidentally I will take it out of her allowance to pay back.
NOW FOR THE PEOPLE BELOW AGAIN! I CAN SEE HOW RESPONSIBLE YOU ARE! THIS IS ONLY FOR RESPONSIBLY INDIVIDUALS TO ANSWER!!!
