Problems with elementary school?
Answer:
Texas is a big state. If you are in a certain school district, there might not be any options unless they have magnet schools or they may consider out of area placement. You need to call the Board of Education and ask what your options are. Have you asked the principal to put him in another class? Changing schools should be your last resort.
Well I am like the other person tx is big and there are thousands of schools. If you live in a small town it is going to be hard to change schools unless you move from that town. The best way to deal with the problem is to go to the principal first. If the problem is not delt with there, then take it to the school super intendant, and you are still having problems, go to the school board.
If they see you going up the ladder they get scarred. The school principal will work his hardest to help if he knows you are fixin to go to the school superindant. So go the chain of command and if all else fells then try getting your child in another school
It is against the law for teachers to pinch children.
This teacher does not discipline well because she disciplines in front of the other children and I would have her job if she continueed to do it to my child. You are within your rights to ge the help that you need and try to get something done about that teacher.
Since the teacher is so horrible, I would assume you are spending time in the classroom observing classroom routines and not just complaining about second-hand information. Children get corrected in front of others. It happens in every classroom unless you plan to home-school your child. I suppose you never raise your voice to your child. There are positive and negative ways to offer correction. I don't know how old your child is, but I am curious where you are getting your information. If you have a problem with your teacher, first you meet with the teacher and share your specific issues and what you'd like changed. Of course there is a way of getting rid of "bad teachers," but it is up to the principal to do proper evaluations. It sounds like a few teachers are having issues with your child. Interesting. How long have these problems been going on? You have the power to move your child to the perfect school...you. Nobody should pinch children. Keep in mind that if teachers can't touch them, they can't hug them either or give a pat on the back. Of course taxpayers have a say. Show up to meetings. Make appointments with teachers, principals, board members, superintendents, etc...
I think you may be getting only half of the story. Have you requested an opportunity to go into the classroom and observe the interaction between the teacher and students (including your son)?
I don't know you, I don't know your child, and I don't know this teacher. BUT, there are a few universal truths to be considered here:
1) People (ALL people, including adults) tend to be a little embarrassed when they make a mistake. NOBODY likes to be told they are wrong.
2) Sometimes, people (ALL people) need to be corrected in order to eliminate flawed thinking.
3) A child who tells you a teacher pinched him should be believed, or at least given the benefit of the doubt until further investigation.
4) A child who tells you that TWO SEPARATE TEACHERS pinched him is hiding something.
I know the knee-jerk reaction is to defend your child, and I support your desire to find the best school possible for your son. Go out, do your research, and make the appropriate move. Just be careful that you aren't sending your child the message that every time he doesn't love his day at school you'll move him or threaten to get the teacher fired. You may run the risk of having him grow up to be a man who doesn't accept responsibility.
