Don't "EFF" with my kids!!!!!!!

Two school years ago, I changed my girls school to a charter school. Academically, this was such a great move as they are both constantly "Student of the Month" and not nearly as many issues that I have encountered in the public school system.

I guess I spoke to soon....................

Tuesday, I get a phone call from my oldest daughter asking when was I going to pick her up from school.

Me: Ummm why are you not on the bus?
My Daughter: My teacher said you called and said you were coming up here so don't get on the bus.
Me: I never called your school, where is your little sister?
My Daughter: They let her get on the bus.

Now my blood pressure is up and I am about to hurt someone. So this school kept my 11 yr old but let me 7 yr old get on the bus. What kind of sense does that make? 

Me: put your teacher on the phone
6th grade teacher: Hi Miss Johnston, are you on your way because we may have to charge you for after school care.
Me: (yelling) Girl, I did not call that school and tell anyone that I was coming to pick her up. You, or one of your little co-workers need to get in your car and drive her home!
6 grade teacher: um hold'on ma'am
Principal: Miss Johnston I apologize, I would never ask a teach-
Me: (cutting her off) I don't care who you ask what, my daughter needs to be at this house by the time the school bus drops of my youngest daughter.
Principal: oh, oh, ok. If I have your verbal permission, I will drop her off myself.

My youngest daughter get's home and she is crying and upset because she didn't know where her sister was and why she wasn't on the bus. She thought the bus left her.

The next day, I go up to the school and met with both teachers, the receptionist and the principal.

Me: Who told my daughter to stay at school?
6th grade teacher: Well you have to ask the receptionist.
Me: No, Im asking you, aren't you her teacher?
6th grade teacher: (shaking) I am but I got the message over the message from the receptionist.
Receptionist: I gave her the name but she miss understood what I said.
Me: Did you bother to clarify?
Receptionist: No, she said ok so I figured she got it.

As black as I am, my face is no red. In my mind I am wondering who the hell to slap first.

Principal: We apologize for the mix up, a parent called for the their child and we got the names mixed up. Because of this error, we no have in place to write the child's name down and walk the paper to the teacher instead of advising via intercom.
Me: So the child that was supposed to stay in school, got on the bus anyway?
Principal: Well (pause) yes.

There was more to the meeting but that was the just of it. I managed to stay out of jail. Which is good because I wouldn't make it in jail anyway.

When I got to work, I emailed what I took from the conversation to the Principal, both teachers, receptionist, AND the Superintendent. Attached was a copy of the police report I filed for negligence on the school. I did it so they would see how serious I was, in addition to letting the Superintendent know what was going on.

I'm honestly not sure what I am going to do next. I can't keep switching schools but I am so uneasy about this situation. Hopefully they have learned, not to make mistakes like that and there will not be any issues this school year. I really hate to be "that parent" but that's what happens with you "eff" with my kids!
