During P.E. My son was hot and tired after running and was it ting on the bench with his classmates. Exhausted, my son rests his elbows on his thighs and runs his hands through his hair. Apparently the P.E. teacher didn't think my son was paying attention and he says "I know how to throw a bat! (While glaring at my son.)
My son is not the top achiever in his class but he is constantly getting B honor roll, is athletic and liked by everyone. My son is the boy who is gentle with the babies, good with the toddlers, loves animals and surrounds himself with a solid group of good kids.
I texted my friend who is a teacher in the same school. I asked her if the principal was in the office tomorrow and of course being my friend, she asks if everything is okay. I tell her the story and she says he does this stupid kind of thing all the time. This isn't acceptable behavior coming from a teacher who is viewed by every student and should lead by example. My son knows this guy doesn't like him. He never gets chosen to go to the track field day, softball tournament, picked for the basketball team, etc. But when it comes to playing sports outside of this teacher's control, my son excels. He's on the first string for basketball pitches and hits cleanup in baseball.
What is my recourse? I'm meeting with the principal first thing in the morning but I fully expect nothing will be done.
Thank you.
