Misconduct at school! What should I do about it?

Tweet

My 6 year old goes to a private school. He is in 1st grade and is doing beautifully. He is a very polite kid. He is a very picky eater so he packs his lunch every day. He is what I call "the french fry king". He absolutely LOVES anything potato. On french fry days at school one of the lunch ladies started giving my son 4-5 fries on a napkin. She did it out of the kindness of her heart. When I found out I asked her if I could pay for them. She told me no it's just a few fries. A few months passed and my son now got in the habit of asking for them. I again offered to pay for them since now it seemed it was becoming a pattern. I was once again told no since it was not a whole lunch. Yesterday was again french fry day and my son went up to get his few fries. The lady was handing them to him when the head lunch lady came over and started yelling at him. She told him that I needed to check my lunch schedule and to make sure he had money! When my son came home from school he told me he got in trouble at lunch and told me what happened. I did not know if he was being overly sensitive or what, he was very hurt and upset. Today I spoke with the lady who usually did this for him. She tried to apologize and went on to tell me what happened. She told me it was totally handled wrong, that the head lunch lady should never yelled at my son. She told me it was entirely inappropriate and that I should look into it further. She told me if I needed to have her speak on my behalf she would. I spoke with the principle and told her what happened and told her that I do not appreciate the way this was handled. No one should be yelling at my son for no good reason. If there was an issue it should have been brought to my attention. I am at school at least 3 times a week. I am head of PTG and our local Boy Scouts program, so I am always there. I know these people. I told her on two seperate occassions I offered to pay for the 4-5 fries my son was getting and was told no. I demanded that the person who yelled at him apologize to him. We will see what happens. I will now be sending money wether they accept it or not. Anyone else ever have someone treat your child wrong at school? How did you handle it??
