Class Wars, continued

Well, the "rich" bitch who continually makes a big deal about everything being so cheap is a hypocrite and a liar as well.

I tried to talk to her about her older daughter (and her best friend) doing things to get my daughter in trouble in class. She turned it into a tirade about how perfect her little angel is and how bad my child is. She turned every point into an indictment of my child's behavior. You know, I never thought that my child was beyond reproach, but DAYUM!!! H is a spoiled brat who allegedly is going to come into a trust fund when she is older and Y brags all the time about how her girls will never have to work.

Basically, the issue is that H and her friend R whisper and play around when Mr. K's back is turned, then point to D when he turns around so guess who gets in trouble? I will be the first to admit D does her share of playing, but she is NOT the only one. Mr. K told Y that H is not "misbehaving" and that is all Y heard. She missed the part about all the girls having to be called down at one point or another. I asked Mr. K to separate the girls as best he could within the limits of what he has planned for the class as a whole because I am tired of D crying at the end of every class because the damned little "princesses" are making her life hell.

Y told me these wild stories about how D was always hitting H on the shoulder in class and how she supposedly put her foot up on C's shoulder and wouldn't take it down. Amazing that the TEACHER never said a word about either incident and you would think he would notice someone's leg propped on the shoulder of another student. Then she told me that she heard D during the Spring Concert last June (behind a curtain and in the middle of a 120-decibel madhouse) clearly say that "Ballet stinks. Why are you doing this 'shit'?"

So why not mention it then? Or sometime during the dozens of other conversations since then? She wanted to make it out that I was bringing D up wrong or that I didn't have people to talk to and so was making things up to stir the poop.

To add the pee topping to the poop cake, she dragged all the girls from the class together and put them on the spot about H making it clear that if those girls were nice to D, she wouldn't be friends with any of them. Of course they all told Y what she wanted to hear because I don't believe any of them wanted to be in the middle. The ones that looked like they wanted to say something different were effectively shut up by Y gloating over all the room that she was "right". Poor D wanted to confront them about how mean they have been, but then Y started yelling at me and all of the girls scattered as quickly as they could. D ran into the bathroom crying. I chewed out Y for not letting D ask H to her face why she was so mean to her. Y got all stupid and told me I was never to talk to her again and got all ridiculous about how I was nuts.

I caught up with Mr. K and asked him why he lied to Y. He told me what he told her and obviously she didn't hear anything past the first sentence. As I said above, he allowed that ALL the girls get called down. He also told me that they did discuss D's issues before letting her into the Youth Company (yes, she made it in) but that they also saw something in her that made it clear she had what it took to succeed (with some molding).

I let him know that there was a whispering that H and R (and I think their mothers) think getting D in trouble would get her kicked out and R in. You see, R sucked at the audition and didn't make it into the Youth Company. You should have seen the scene her mom made, crying all over the place and checking the list over and over to see if she missed R's name. She was also pointing to some names and moaning that R should have made it over this or that girl. Mostly, she pointed and bitched in the general vicinity of where D's name was on the list.

Y seems to think that her girls have minds of their own and would never hatch such a scheme, but I know better. Girls at this age want to impress their parents and can pick up on the hints EVEN IF NOTHING IS EVER OPENLY SAID. If H and R think they would make their moms happy by picking on D and making her out to be the bad guy, they would pick at D 24/7/365. AND they would get their friends in on the game! That is what girls do.

I am so ready to out Y for the hypocritical little bitch she is. She is trying to keep it secret that she is divorced because Japanese women lose face when they lose their husbands. Gee, I wonder why she lost hers. I suspect she is living off her parents as they have money to burn (or so she intimated in the past--back to the trust fund story...). I do know one thing about her situation, but I promised not to say anything as it is someone else's secret to tell. Let's just say, she isn't that far up the scale from me and has a helluva a lot of nerve telling me how common and low she thinks I am.

So now it is open warfare. I am sure she has been on the phone and on the computer all afternoon telling R's mom and whoever else thinks she still is "hot stuff" what a bitch I am. It's all crap and now D is determined to prove them wrong with ballet and with her acting. I will laugh my ass off when D makes it big and those same little brats and their moms start kissing up to her. She has my permission to act like Julie Smith (aka Julianne Moore) and say mean things about the Academy and her classmates if she ever gets on talk shows. I know--it isn't mature, but if it makes D feel better and gives her motivation, I have to make this one allowance.
