My mom is an elementary school administrator, and she called me last night about a 5 year old girl at her school who had a fake ponytail on at her school. (That in itself was shocking to my mom.) The sad thing is that the little girl's ponytail fell off in class! The white teacher sent her to my mom because she had no clue what to do. (My mom is one of only two black teachers/counselors/administrators at the school.)
Mom said that the little girl just cried in her arms. She was so sad and embarassed. She didn't want to go back to class. My mom figured out how to put it back on and put some extra pins in it to make it more secure. Then she convinced the little girl that it wasn't gonna fall off again (at least not that day).
I felt so bad for this child. She's probably going to be scarred for life! Is it common for 5 yr olds to wear phony ponies? Do you think my mom should have called her parents? She really wanted to call them and tell them to be more careful if they send her to school that way, to avoid her being embarassed. She wanted to explain how this could effect her classroom performance, but she didn't.erplexed
I still feel so sorry for that little girl.
