I think what Yael and those girls did was so bad and so mean that even Mommy got angry
As told to Perel Stone
I was crying so hard when I came to Mommy’s car, she couldn’t even understand what I was saying.
When I was leaving school today, Yael grabbed my knapsack from me and told other girls to stop me from leaving the classroom. Yael opened my knapsack and started throwing all my stuff to other girls. I had to pick up my little sister from gan and was afraid I’d be late, but girls were leaning against the door, and I couldn’t get it open.
Finally, the girls got tired of their game and ran home. I gathered my stuff, put everything back in my bag, and ran out of the classroom. The school was already empty, but I saw a teacher and tried to tell her what happened; she told me I should tell my own teacher. I told her my teacher left already, but she didn’t care and just told me to wait until I could tell my teacher.
