She expects these 5 and 6 year olds to adhere to standards that most 8 year olds can't accomplish! <br /><br />Either way, I agree with the others that have commented before me: Give her a piece of your mind. Let Mother Bear show her claws. I hope you make her cry. If that doesn't work, go to the school board. This woman shouldn't be teaching children if that's the way she handles her classroom.(Putting him in a different room?!?! What the *@#$ is that supposed to accomlish? What a stupid, childish way to handle a situation!) Okay, rant over.

The teacher teaches the same thing over and over again until EVERYBODY passes, and while it keeps the dunder heads from being left behind, it doesn't give the smart kids anything to do. You can only learn the same thing so many times before you start searching for a better alternative for your time. If you're not learning anything new, what's the point in listening? <br /><br />And my coworker also had trouble with her child being singled out by her teacher and being separated from the group. When her child was actually assigned to do a group project meant for four children by herself because the teacher was punishing her, she went to the principle. And the principle said that basically the teacher could handle her however she wanted. So she pulled her out of school and they moved to a better district.<br /><br />Not suggesting that, of course, but I'm just saying that there is something fundamentally wrong with the school system these days.Chanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18159248995263246944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4258057679042810816.post-50560973295762386842011-04-21T16:42:06.965-05:002011-04-21T16:42:06.965-05:00That's frustrating!

We had a big problem with a teacher harassing SAM, and it was a huge blow to her self confidence that she is still trying to recover from. Our school principal handled the situation very badly and the situation got worse rather than better...some people shouldn't be principals either. But I do hope that in your case the principal will do something to solve the situation.

Principals quaked in their boots if they knew I was coming. I spared no one. I never raised my voice and I never swore. Oh, I was in law school at the time. I think that helped. <br />Your son is smarter than that teacher. Remind him of that. He has kept his temper so far.

That's bound to make any kid act out. Has she no empathy or common sense?<br /><br />Let your "mother bear" roar, this teacher needs some sense knocked into her.

I've had the same fight over, and over...and over with the school all year. <br /><br />Example-Birthday kids get a special crown for their day. Someone broke *a*'s. She started crying. The teacher sent her to the "Buddy Room"....for the entire day. She was allowed to return 15 minutes before the end of the day to pass out her treats. Some birthday, huh?<br /><br />I feel your pain, especially regarding biting your tongue. I actually told *a*'s teacher in a phone call once to send me an email because I didn't think I'd be able to have a calm, meaning not cursing, conversation with her. <br /><br />I remember there being Bad Teachers growing up. Let's hope next year, our kiddos get one of the GOOD ones. <br /><br />~KKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18240069454965328349noreply@blogger.com
