You guessed it! PLEASE ADVISE! THANKS!
Thank you! You guessed it...this is my child... my 3rd one (youngest). All my kids have been an ideal student... by that I mean good grades, good behavior, past teachers love them, etc... I have been very involved in this school and have receive awards from our school system. I have served several times as PTO President and have always been on the PTO. I do so much for this school but it is what I love! I am room mother (have been for years)... and even to classes I do not even have a child in the class.... with all that said... she was like this to my middle child but not as bad.... down deep, I have always thought she didnt like me...I have never had to hire an attorney. I feel down deep it this is very, very wrong. My husband and I went yes, the next morning at 8.... he sent me a reply yesterday that made me madder.... it was like she was saying she was just playing.....and she didnt know it would embarrassed him....this was not a "play" thing or when she saw him crying she could have let him keep his head down...but NO she made him keep his head off the desk while crying for the whole class to see.... and then she yelled....that didnt hurt! She never tried to comfort him or say she was sorry, he is 8......................here is the letter...I have changed names!! PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!!!
Sara and Bill,
I just wanted to let you know that I spoke with Mrs. Teacher today
about the incident we talked about this morning. She was very
understanding and realized afterwards that Luke was embarrased. She
did speak with Luke later that day, I think during lunch. According
to Mrs. Teacher, Luke was still visibly upset and she told him she was
sorry for embarrasing him in class. It's possible that Luke was
upset enough that he did not hear the apology. She said in the past
she has tossed the frog jokingly to other students but did not
realize it bothered Luke. She assured me that it would not happen
again. She also said that next week she would have a conversation
with Luke to assure him that she does care about him. I mentioned to
her that it would probably be a good idea to speak with Luke
regularly for awhile to encourage him and help build back his
confidence in her. She agreed.
Me, Mrs. Hill, and the 3rd grade teachers had a great meeting
this afternoon. We spent about 2 hours discussing strategies for
Tuesday and the rest of the week. We plan on meeting regularly
during their planning time to review the current strategies and add
new ones. There are some challenging students in the 3rd grade and by
spending this extra time adding new strategies and interventions, all
of the 3rd grade students will be able to have a good experience.
Over the next couple of weeks you will see and hear about some
changes. Trust me that they will be positive changes and will
benefit everyone involved including the students, teachers,
principal, and parents. I am not promising drastic changes
immediately but am reassuring you that I am on it and it is a
priority.
Luke is a great kid. We spoke today about how I wanted him to enjoy
being at Creekside and to come talk with me anytime he needed to talk.
Don't think you and Bill wasted my time. I do get encouraged by
parents that care about their children's education. I deal with many
that do not. Let me know if you have any concerns and feel free to
call, email, or come by anytime. Thanks for everything the Smith
family does for our Creekside family.
Sincerely,
Mr. Principal
As you can see, or at least my feelings.....she is not sorry at ALL.... she blamed it as...she was joking.... but when he cried she did nothing!!! I am soooo upset over this! Please any help!!! My child hates school and thinks the teacher hates him! He does not want to go....this is so sad! He is a sweet child. Since the beggining of school he makes her stuff and takes it to her... even when she has been so mean to him...he is a child!!! PLEASE ADVISE!!!! She didnt say either... why she told me in passing...twice.... he would be repeating 2nd grade or he is her worst behavior problem in her class.... when she has kids that throw their deskd, hide from teacher outside and cuss in class....oh my goodness, my son would never do that!!! NEVER!!!
THANKS FOR TAKING TIME TO GIVE YOUR ADVICE!!!
