Make a list of questions you want to ask so you don't forget anything. I had to deal with my son's nasty teacher last year. It got so bad that the teacher would not let them eat their mid morning snack because all the kids were talking. They went a few times without eating. I went right to his teacher and let him have a piece of my mind. My son would come home last year sometimes upset because he teacher was so mean to everybody in class except for his pets. He was a straight up asshole and it seemed like he did not enjoy his job. I never had a problem with him after we had our little chat. |

You've played yourself/son as a victim, but I'm not certain you are yet. Tell me the whole story. If you don't have the whole story, then you need to get it, and that comes from being involved with your sons school. Meet with the teacher, and ask for explanations on her assessment. If after that it proves that she is singling your son out, ask her why? Be polite, be firm. If the teacher is a bully, you'll find out really quick if you are polite and firm, and ask matter of fact questions instead of assuming the 10 year old is perfect. (I'm guessing there's something he's not telling you.) |

I know she will try to hurt him more, so this is what I must do. If she wants to keep her job, she better keep off my son. |

Quoting: Mister Obvious Call up and complain about the fucking bitch. And make sure to get down to the school NOW and meet with her and the principal. And if you do not feel that you are being 100% listened to do not simply threaten, but DO remove your child from school that day. The loss of federal funding is all these liberal fucks understand. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 69001068 United States 10/23/2015 12:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I totally understand. I've had tho problem several times with my daughter teacher. I actually had a confrontation with one of her teachers a few years ago. She said she wasn't behaving in class. Gave them an extraordinary amount of homework with which she knew she was going to have a hard time completing. She told me my daughter pushes her buttons. I told her she was pushing mines. I almost got so bad, we were almost in a yelling contest. I saw her evil. She retired the next year. My best advice would be a sit down and calmly voice your concerns. Try to read the teachers body language. IF THEY MAKE YOU FEEL UNEASY......THEY ARE MOST DEFINITELY MAKING THE CHILDREN FEEL UNEASY. Go speak to the principle and transfer your child to another class!!! Good luck this wont be easy. |

He said you can't do that.. I said Oh I can't? just watch me do it. If my son comes home one more day upset because you were so mean that day again...you will see me in your class...taking notes. I will be observing everything. He was some Harry Potter asshole...make the kids read Harry Potter watch the movies...and the kids were like Harry Potter that's baby stuff...He had harry potter everywhere...I was like ugh...when I first met him. I knew he was a jerk from that first meeting. |

Whiskey*Tango User ID: 30039807 United States 10/23/2015 01:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My 6 year old had to write an apology letter to his gym teacher for sliding on the floor, on his knees. I homeschool now. I will say, in the 80's I had the worst set of bucked teeth you have ever seen on a scrawny little girl. My teachers tried testing me for special Ed, I'd raise my hand for help and would get passed for help. I received a u on citizenship all the time and no one talked to me so I wasn't the one disturbing class. My parents didn't believe me. I had braces put on summer before 5th grade and made the honor roll second semester and I vindicated myself telling my parents that they should have believed me all those years. It was hell and favoritism or singling out happens. Unfortunately. Theres a fine line between naive "my child does no wrong" and not believing your child. You need more information. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 70612446 United States 10/23/2015 01:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was bullied by my English teacher in 7th grade. I was always well liked by my teachers as I did very well in school and was an all around good student. This woman hated me for that reason I think. She was an old, fat, miserable black woman. I was a cute and smart white girl and she hated me for that. Even accused me of stealing a note or something off of her desk and berated me in front of the entire class. Like spit flying and everything. The kid who did it felt bad enough to admit I hadn't done it. That didn't stop her tirade. Accused him of lying and kept going off on me. She would purposely mark my answers as wrong when they were correct. I approached her about it with another students paper who had the same answer, but I was marked wrong. She refused to acknowledge it and tore my paper in half. I still got A's because she could only do so much, but she made that year a living hell for me. I can't remember her name though. Mrs. G something or other. This was in AZ during 92/93. I know for a fact that she always made a target out of a white girl each year. She was a horrible person. |

Me User ID: 46201722 United States 10/23/2015 01:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | First, you REALLY need to step back and make sure you aren't doing too much for your kid.... his teacher doesn't have time to sit with him in class and go over everything with him. It is entirely possible that while at home with you, he might be totally prepared for class, but once you aren't there, he might just fall apart. Definitely go and talk to the teacher before you decide his teacher is just a jerk. More often than not, it really IS the fault of our precious little children because, let's be honest, our kids can be thoughtless irresponsible jerks at times.... even the BEST ever kids have crap days! So take an honest look at your little precious and make sure he isn't the cause of some of your grief, and talk to the teacher to find out what your kid can do to improve his grade. Be honest, be reasonable, and LISTEN to your kid's teacher!! |

I am sorry you missed out on those crucial social skills as a child. One has to be objective when someone makes accusations on another. Particular when the other party. (The teacher) is not present to defend themselves. To assume guilt of the teacher without having a full scope of information is worse then being rude, I will absolutely hang up politeness before I grab my torch and pitchfork and join in the witch hunt. That being said, the teacher could be in the wrong, but to this point we haven't heard all the facts. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 3095656 United States 10/23/2015 01:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Does anyone know the best way to handle a Teacher who I suspect may be bullying my child? I have never dealt with this before. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14857774 I feel that she is purposaly failing him. He is 10 years old and is in 5th grade. Just today, she gave him a 50 on a Classroom check up. WTH!!!! He was there, had all his books, and did all his homework, and is a very organized boy. I am so frustrated over this. He even has an "E" for his homework, but yet, I sit with him everyday and make sure his homework is done to the best of his knowledge, and readable, and organized, and complete. Still, she fails him. Advice please?????? Most good teachers don't like helicopter mom's like you. Stay the fuck out of the schools and let teachers do their jobs. Parents today are part of the reason why education is so fucked up. Stay at home crazy fucking moms who cannot deal with anything and obsess about everything that happens to their child. That and all these commie fag administrators who think they have to play a part in a child's upbringing. |

Change schools to private school or home school. PJ |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 63273896 United States 10/23/2015 02:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That's what I was going to say. Ask in writing for him to be moved to another teacher. Then if they wont ask in writing for him to be moved to another school. Then if you cant get a remedy, move or homeschool him. The district wants money, the school wants money and both only get it if your kid is there. Don't put up with it. |
davvi User ID: 3677166 United States 10/23/2015 02:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I requested a Parent and Principal meeting. My daughter had her about 3 years ago. This is the type of teacher who you can't talk to. She takes everything personal and she is never wrong. So, I think by bringing her to the principal to address this problem, it might fix it. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14857774 I will also warn her that if she retaliates against my son due to the fact that I brought her to the office, I will contact the School District on Harrasment/Bullying Charges. I know she will try to hurt him more, so this is what I must do. If she wants to keep her job, she better keep off my son. Ask for a conference with the teacher and principal. Tell them you are recording the conversation so that you can listen to it later and be sure you have not missed anything. As another poster suggested, have your questions written ahead of time and do not be taken off point as they will try. They will try to turn the conversation away from the teacher and refocus on your child's behavior. Tell them you will deal with his behavior at home and what you want to talk about is the teacher. There is always the option of a change of class on the grounds of "personality conflict." If they refuse to allow you to record the interview then your next best step is to take a witness preferably a school board member who is sympathetic to your cause. If you are complaining about a teacher then this is not the first complaint ever. Do some internet research to see if there are other complaints. Best wishes and good luck to you and your child. |
