I feel my child is being bullyed by his teacher.?

My child's yr1 teacher tells him he is too slow with his work, which is fair enough but when he was asked by his nan how school was going he replied that his teacher told him he has a slow brain. Upon my meeting with this teacher she denied saying such even though I have heard her myself. My son is a thinker, even a daydreamer but has excelled in reading and writing to be above average. Is this defamatory?

Answer:
I was a school cleaner for many years and I heard some really nasty things come out of teachers mouths. By the way I am an Aussie and I like to stand up for children that are getting bullied by teachers. In your case Year 1, this is bloody crazy. At this age they are still babies in their own right and do not deserve to be spoken to by teachers, neither does any other child. I would go and report this to the Principal at the school. I know the year is nearly over, but maybe try and put a request in for next year not to have this teacher, because knowing what I do about the school system, she could take year 2 next year. Good luck
It is derogatory. Can you ask that he be transferred out
I would ask for another teacher, or change his schools.
Transfer him out of that class. That is wrong. Every child is equal. He may as well be telling an other student that they are mentally challenged.
yes I'd say so...maybe you should change teachers
This is an inappropriate statement by the teacher. In your place, I would request a meeting with the prinicipal to address the issues. I would ask to have my child moved to another class.
make a report to the school district maybe there are other reports on that teacher so they can take action. And volunteer in his class so the teacher can see that you are involved and that child has somebody there for him and she will step down.

If you change him classes you are letting her win and the one who will suffer is your child.

Also when ever you have a meeting with the teacher or Principal
get written proof of the meeting a letter that states what was talked about and who was there, signed & dated just in case you have to take action you'll have proof.
definatly take it up with the principal. this can really hurt a little kids self esteem.
