::bows slow:: Hey guys, I"m so sorry to be bothering you with another request. I'm sure by now, I've clogged up your prayer lists. I was wondering though, ifyou could pray for Atarah and Eragon?? Here's the situation-

Yesterday, when Atarah showed up to pick up Eragon from school, one of his friends informed Atarah that Eragon's PE and Music teacher, had grabbed him so hard, it left a red mark on his arm. She said, "we need to go talk to Mrs Schelmtzer. (The principal) What happened was, I guess Mrs Robinson (the PE and music teacher) was doing some kind of bowling tournament. She had Eragon's class, (3rd and 4th), divided up into like 3 teams. Anyway, I guess the first team got done first. Mrs Robinson said they were winners, and the other kids were losers. This made Eragon mad, he was like I'm not a loser, nor will I let you call me one. I guess that's when Mrs Robinson grabbed him, and said they was going to talk to the principal. One of Eragon's friends said, "let him go!!!" Mrs Robinson said, "oh, he's ok." She left a red mark on his arm, how's that ok??? Anyway, Atarah talked to his usual classroom teacher, about what happened. (Mrs Miller) She was really upset too, over what Mrs Robinson had done. She was almost crying guys, serious. Anyway, after talking to Mrs Miller, Atarah went to talk to Mrs S, (the principal). She brought Atarah, Eragon and Mrs Robinson, into her office to talk. Eragon started to tell his side of the story. Mrs Robinson kept cutting him off, and saying ,"oh, I never said that." Finally Atarah had had enough, she said, "either Mrs Robinson is fired, or I'm gonna sue!" This is not the first time Mrs Robinson has grabbed a student. In fact, this is like the 4th or 5 time.
Now, Eragon's best freind's mom was also with Atarah, when she came and picked up Eragon. She was ticked too, and has also threatened to sue, if nothing is done about Mrs Robinson. Both her kids have been grabbed by Mrs Robinson as well. Atarah really don't wanna pull Eragon from that school, it's a great school, and he has a lotta friends there. But, she will not send her son to a school where he's scared of one of the teachers. All the students are scared of Mrs Robinson, none of them respect her at all, because of the way she treats them. Anyway, this is a complicated case. If you guys get a chance, can you please pray for them??? Atarah was so upset yesterday, when she left the school, she was crying. Mrs miller was crying too, because she likes Eragon so much, and see so much potential in him. She really don't want Eragon to pull out of St john's next year.
While Atarah was in talking to the principal, and Mrs Robinson, I was sitting in the Secratary's office, watching Mrs miller. She was doing all she could do to keep from crying. She really is an awesome teacher.
Anyway, there's the situation we're dealing with right now. If you get time, can you please pray for Atarah and Eragon?? Thanks guys.

May the Force guide you all

I will pray for all parties concerned. I have been involved in things like this before and have usually found that there were misunderstandings everywhere. I don't believe that suing is ever the answer as it usually just causes emotional damage to everyone.

UPDATE:

Atarah went to talk to the principal yeterday, and it sounds like Mrs Robinson will not be back next year. She has cuased too many problems this year, by the looks of it. Also, for the remainder of this year, they are going to rotate teachers, sitting in on Mrs Robinson's classes, to make sure she doesn't grab any more students. Mrs Miller has also come up with a word (STOP!) that the students can say, if Mrs Robinson touches them. Mrs Robinson can also use the same word to tell the students to stop and listen. Hopefully, this will deter anymore issues, and she won't grab any more students. Atarah has also recanted her statement to sure, tempararily. She said she's going to see what happens with Mrs Robinson next year. I will continue to keep you updated, as more news becomes available. Thanks so much for all your prayers, they really do mean a lot.

*Sigh* That teacher had no right to hurt him like that. I agree that suing wasn't the answer but if nothing was going to be done about it perhaps they had no choice. I'm glad things are going well.
