+ Kindergarten and a BAD Teacher+?
This morning my husband and I went to the school early with our son to talk to the teacher about why my son won't go to school. We told her about the bully and what his name was and in response she said that she had no idea.His OLD teacher use to talk to him and make him feel better when he is down.
When we got home I asked my son why he is so afraid to go and he said that was a secret that his teacher told the children not to tell the parents. I told him that he needs to tell me and he finally said that the teacher has knifes and swords some sharp and some fake. He said that she tells him mean things and that she is never nice. Do I need to take this up with the Principle or Should I just pull him out of school and have him start next year with a new teacher? He also has a disability, So it's harder for him at school
Answer:
Go to the principal, if that does not work go to the superintendent. Go in with the right attitude (you catch more flies with honey then vinegar) That knifes and swords thing is so not OK.
I would start by talking to the parents of some of the other students in the class to get another perspective of what is happening in the classroom. Is this a public program? If so, is it possible to switch your son to another Kindergarten class in the same school.
I think that if a teacher has knives and is mean they shouldn't be teaching.
I am a teacher, and I would say talk to the principal.
I would talk to the Principal AND change schools. I had to change my son's school in Kindergarten for similar reasons. Love the new school! You just have to talk to all involved (teacher, Principal, and new school) then go with your gut mother instinct is rarely wrong!
Oh my, go straight to the principal. If that doesn't help, keep going up the ladder. You are a wonderful parent to listen to your child. This teacher is exercising control over these children by scaring them. This makes me angry! Go get 'em!
NO! GO TO THE PRINCIPAL IMMEDIATELY AND LET THE PRINCIPAL KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON! LET THE PRINCIPAL KNOW THAT YOU WILL LET EVERY PARENT KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IF HE DOES NOT PULL THIS TEACHER OUT OF CLASS. I WOULD ALSO TELL THE PRINCIPAL THAT IF IT DOESN'T CHANGE YOU WILL PULL YOUR CHILD OUT!
i know i am only sixteen so i don't know everything but you should defiantly talk to someone about it that is not something that you should keep quite! if the principle doesn't do anything about it you should get the police or something involved !!
I find it very hard to believe that your son is being abused and scared by a teacher with swords. The teacher likely used the swords to teach the kids something, they are not used to scare the kids into doing things. If this is how you are with the kindergarten teacher, I feel sorry for your son. One thing you might want to know, when your child progresses through the grades in one school district, that child's behavior is discussed among the teacher's when they set up their class rooms for the next school year. Example, classroom 1 has two kids that are ADHD, and two that go for special reading classes. Classroom 2 will want to be balanced along the same as classroom 1, basically, the principal and the teachers get together and split the rooms up as evenly as possible so no one teacher gets a whole bunch of kids with learning disabilities. Their parents are discussed as well, particularly if a parent has been determined to be a problem and not helpful in their childs education. If you go in full force accusing the teacher of threatening children with swords, well, let's just say your child is not going to be eager to learn if you are not encouraging him to be part of the class. Do you really think the teacher threatened the students with knives and swords? Come on......kids can come up with the darndest things, his imagination is quite creative, you might want to encourage his imagination through art or reading. Good luck.
pulling your kid out of school will punish your child not the teacher. what you need to do is talk to the principal about the situation. if this does not help the bullying or the teachers rudeness then i would go to the board of education and file a complaint. this is not right for your child or any other children to have to go through this kind of harrassment. this effects you even more because of the fact that your child has special needs. the teacher should be more understanding and willing to be there for him. i used to volunteer and work at a camp for kids and yound adults with different kinds of special needs. i have had similar problems with some of the other staff there in the treatment of the kids. kids that have a special need are more likely to get made fun of unfortunately than other kids because of their need. what is even more unfortunate is that when even the ones that we trust with our special needs children look at them as different and give them a rougher time because of it. it is not ok or just on any level. i hope your child is not getting treated differently because of their disability but that is kind of what it sounds like to me. take whatever routes necessary to help your child with this. if your child is getting discriminated against, get a lawyer involved. sometimes as a parent you have to stand up for your childrens rights in certain situations and even more so if they have a special need. i really hope that this helps you get this straightened out. good luck with this.
TALK TO THE PRINCIPAL IMMEDIATELY AND THEN SEND HIM TO A DIFFERENT SCHOOL!!
GOOD LUCK!!
Talk to the principal. Do it immediately. Perhaps you are not the only parent with a problem with this teacher. Perhaps you should call some of the other parents after speaking to the principal and see if they are having similar issues.
As a last resort, pull your child from the school.
I'd start with a complaint to the school board. Then I'd get your little guy away from that environment until other arrangements can be made (missing a few weeks of Kindergarten doesn't cause permanent damage, but emotional abuse does).
A teaching certificate does not make a good teacher. Some should never be allowed near kids, and this bird sounds like a prime example.
I would talk to the principal and tell him youve heard her say these things and you think its inappropriate. Also talk to other parents of kids in his grade maybe they are having the same problem. If so then you all should go see the principal.
I would definitely talk to the princepal about this and to maybe get a new teacher this year... dont wait next year!! Tell him that you do NOT like the his teacher and something has to be done about it NOW. what about some hidden cameras in the classroom... that the princepal can put in there =) just a thought! You hear about these situations all the time and never to take them likely! Best of luck!
my suggestion talk to the principal.last november'05 my son i got a big problem w/my son teacher...the teacher kinda choke my son...ofcourse i report the teacher to the police...well nothing happen to that freaken teacher but he has BAD RECORD NOW SO IF HE LOST HIS JOB NXT TIME HIS GONNA BE HARD TO LOOK FOR ONE...
as a parent we need to stand for a child cuz no one will...kids will never lie about them been treated bad...just like the way i trust my son about that issue and it comes out its true cuz he has witnesses his classmate...
I SOOOO agree with goodbye! YEA YEA! Beat that $%^!^ teacher's @$$!!
YEA YEA!
GO GET THEM GIRL!! GO GO GO
lol
Go to Superintendent! Don't stop anywhere else. Then tell them you will contact the school board. There is no way a teacher should be acting like this, even at high school age. Your young child should not have to deal with the double pressure. If they don't handle it, go to your local paper. Then move your child to another school.
"She is a new teacher.. His old teacher Resigned this past December." There's the problem right there. It isn't that this teacher is "bad". Not everyone has the same teaching methods and obviously her's are quite different from his first teacher's. Whether he has a disability or not he still has to learn to cope with life in the real world and he isn't always going to like the people in it. Besides he is obviously making up stories about the teacher. He may not think she is "nice" because she has a different method...but that is just too bad. What is he going to next year when he gets another teacher? Or the year after and the year after that? He has to learn to deal with it as it is...otherwise YOU will have a hard time with school until he graduates highschool.
u need to take it to the principal.. if u just have ur child start a new school that wouldnt be fair to the rest of the kids whose parents dont know about this teacher.. see if u can get her fired..
report this teacher
