How would you mentally cope with a teacher that thinks your kid is a liar?
Answer:
Try to remember that teachers are just people and will inevitably have preferences and feelings about different personalities. As a former teacher I can say I did not always feel the same way for some students as I did for others; some I simply "liked" more. That being said, I did care for and "like" ALL of my students and treated them fairly and with respect, regardless of my feelings.
From your description, the teacher sounds as though she may be inexperienced in dealing with parents. Her behavior (rolling eyes) is really out of line and disrespectful to you. While she may have had concerns about your child's truthfulness, she should not have had the response you describe. If you feel uncomfortable I suggest you ask to meet with her and the school counselor. The school counselor is likely a better first choice than the principal or headmaster because going directly to the "boss" without a intermediate step will create an adversarial situation which would likely not benefit you or the parent-teacher relationship. If nothing is resolved, you may consider going to a higher up school adminstrator, but likely the teacher will realize his/her responsibility to make a change before that is necessary. You should not just "try to cope" as resolving the issue to some extent would help you, your daughter and the teacher. (She/he needs to improve interaction with parents!)
I wish you luck and encourage you to address the situation head-on.
I dont know children can be like that, at my mums school (shes a teacher) there was this one kid who behaved well at school and got good grades but at home he was horrible so when the parents asked my mum what was wrong it surprised her to find out he was like that at home and it turned out he decided to behave at school as thats where it mattered to him to behave and do well and he might as well be naughty at home to get it out of his system.
If you are really that upset, you could speak to the principal about this teacher. Although not knowing this teacher it might cause her to treat your child unfairly. Or you suck it up put it behind you and just know that the school year will be over before you know it. If your daughter is doing well in her class and doesn't seem effected by this teacher you might just want to leave the situation alone.
You could try going to the school board and talking to them,also you may get her goat if you tell her from here on out,you will be taping your conversations with her.That may get her to tow the line.You will have your hands full and good luck.Thats why I took my kids out of public schools and taught them at home.
i would go to the principal or headmasters office right away how dare she roll her eyes at you like you were making things up she dosen't know your daughter as well as you a mother knows best
i would switch your daughter right away and let the other parents know how rude she is thats no way to treat a student! anyway dont worry im sure after you talked it through to the headmaster or principal you daughter will get switched straight away
i am kinda in the same thing right now with my son also in 2nd grade i try too check in on my son at least once a week and also i ask his teacher to send me progress reports on him weekly so what i would do is keep a eye on what is going on and make sure your daughter dont get left behind and try to talk with the teacher and make sure she is doing her best with your girl.
Your child doesn't need a teacher like this! She's
only in 2nd grade. What does this teacher want.
I'd get my kid out of there post haste. This teacher
needs to be taught. What are her credentials. Is
this her first year of teaching. Find a better school
or home school.
I had an experience just like this before I began homeschooling. Going over your childs teachers head will "get her back up". I suggest going there with your husband or a good friend (not to gang up just to back up) and calmly discuss this with her. Let her know that you left the last meeting upset and that you are SURE that was not her intention. Stroke her ego and let her think you think she is a wonderful teacher and wish that you both could be on the same page,as I'm sure that her main objective is the children. If all else fails go up the ladder and meet with her and her superiors at the same time. Good luck!
well, if your daughter is being treated fairly... just put up with it .. the year is half over
that depends. Is your child lying? did she give examples of these situations? Children are different at school than they are at home. At home there is 1 on 1 time at school she has to share the attention with all the kids in the class. It may be her way to get some extra 1 on 1 time with the teacher
I had an experience iwth my elsdest in grade 5.my son was always a boistrous kid always on the go and was easily distracted,but behaved well at school, jsut needed reminding to pay attention sometimes. this teacher singled him out and made him feel embarassed. I didn't realise until he ridiculed him in front of me, like I thought that would be ok. He was accuisn him of mucking around and not working while I was ther e and he was clearly working. I pulle dhim out of the schoola fter speaking to the teacher and not getting anything positive out of it.
It must have been going on for a while.To this day he will not look a person in authority in the eye but looks at the ground.he is now 19. I didn't get him out soon enough.
