(Conclusion: Amy shows no remorse, no emotion and parents are out of town for 10 days in Hawaii, and Grandma has to come in and deal with the situation and
; She gets 4 days Detention in the office during recess and Lunch and doesn't care) Where did we go wrong?
12:10pm Mrs Alice take the 1st graders to to the lunch room for lunch and leaves the main teacher behind in the classroom
12:25pm Teacher goes to leave the classroom and notice Mrs Alice has left her phone on the white board shelf and wonders if she should pick it up and put it somewhere and decides to leave it there cause Mrs. Alice will probably come looking it for it momentarily.
12:50pm Mrs Alice and students enter classroom after lunch recess, Mrs Alice starts retrieving her personal items when a voice a student says to her,
STUDENT(let's call her Jane): Mrs. Alice, don't forget your phone.
So immediately Mrs Alice turns to the White board to retrieve her cell phone, and lo and behold it is not there...(Hence the mystery of the stolen phone...)
Mrs Alice: Jane, did you pick up my phone?
Jane: No Mrs Alice, but I saw it on the white board.
Mrs Alice: Jane did you see anyone touch mrs Alice's phone?
Jane: No.
At this point Mrs Alice and the 1st grade teacher attempt to locate the red cell phone, looking in all purses, coats, drawers, book shelves, asking all students, having all student take out there Tote Trays, asking over and over if anyone has seen the missing red cell phone. Mean while Mrs Alice goes to the office checks lost and found asks all the office staff and reports that if anyone turns it in, that it is hers. I found it very odd that this student would remind me not to forget to retrieve my phone and acted very mysterious with another student we shall call Joan.
So Alice takes off for the day, she is now off the clock and goes home to explain her plight to her husband at work. Through out the night I figured it may show up, but if it didn't I would be fine without the immediate access that my children have to me....
Fast forward to Thursday January 28th 8:25 am; Mrs Alice enters 1st grade where upon arrival many student ask about the missing red phone and to my shagrin I explain that it had not yet been returned. Meanwhile, The 1st grade teacher explains that she received a call from my cell phone the evening prior at 6:50pm, The mystery continues...
8:28am: Jane comes into class with a smile and says "Mrs Alice, Look I found your phone!"
Mrs Alice: Jane honey ar you sure you did not take my phone home with you?
Jane: No I found it out by the trash can
Mrs Alice: Which trash can?
Jane: The one down the hall, it was behind it.
Mrs Alice: Are you positive that is where it was Jane, because someone called the Teacher last night from that cell phone
(The last # that I had called from the red cell phone was my teachers cell phone, so anyone could press talk 2 times and it will call back the last # dialed)
Jane: No, I found it by the trash.
Mrs Alice: Ok, thank you for giving me my phone back.
[ The stories did not match up - So Mrs Alice explained to the teacher and the Vice principal that a little investigation needed to happen] To make a long story shorter; Jane and Joan were interviewed by Teacher, Vice Principal and the story went as follows;
Jane: I was walking into school and I saw a boy drop something out of his coat into the ice melt bucket by the front doorway and I thought to my self that sounds like something broke, I wander if it is Mrs. Alice's phone, so I looked down in the bucket and there it was so I brought it to Mrs. Alice. She continued on to tell what type of coat the boy was wearing and she thought she could identify him in the 2nd grade...Luckily she did not accomplish this and no innocent 2nd grade boy was blamed. (Where do they come up with these things?)
Being the investigator that I am, I was thinking as I was leaving work today that I should check the Call log on my red cell phone, as low and behold 2 calls were made at 6:49pm to voicemail (automatic if you have any messages and press the green call button) & 6:50 pm to my home; which is the #2 speed dial on my cell phone and the beginning number of most Riverton Phone numbers, ie... 254-xxxx and the INFAMOUS SMOKING GUN, a phone call was made from the red cell phone at 12:38pm (recess time) to an unknown number. So I called that # and received an answering machine with a familiar ladies voice. So with my investigative nature I called NSA and asked them to look up the phone # and tell me who it belonged to and would you believe it, IT WAS JANES HOME! Caught YA!
- To wrap this up, Jane and Jane's parents came into the school to meet with the Vice Principal and come to find out that we had a real CLEPTO on our hands, she wanted to have a school like room in her play room and was bringing things home each day in her backpack to put in her play room. Guess what "Teacher" we found those missing rulers and bell you were looking for.
REALLY PEOPLE WHAT ARE WE TEACHING OR NOT TEACHING OUR KIDS THESE DAYS!
Little miss Jane had no remorse, showed no emotion and thought that being cute and young it would not be any big deal, She will serve 1 week recess detention and have to clean tables at lunch - What's up with that - Suspend the little Fart....Needless to say I was really upset and Angry and I feel bad for all those that crossed my path today!
