[quote=Anonymous]Based on my volunteering experiences, I would ask for more information about the class and other students (if you don't really know).  Some of the kids in my son's class are horrible.  Constantly disobedient, when corrected they sneer, they are disrespectful.  It bothers the other kids and when I volunteer, I have corrected firmly and been sneered at or mocked the moment I turn my back.  I have watched the kids treat the cafeteria staff terribly and ignore correction.  It is truly horrible and I have asked what the discipline is (the different levels of discipline) and really, there isn't one.  They cannot take recess, they do not call parents because they get chewed at  and it results in nothing, they will not suspend, they will not in-school suspend.  There is no effective discipline and the kids know it and the teachers are both powerless to discipline the kids and tired.  The one thing the teachers consistently do is punish the entire class.  It drives my kids crazy and it drives me crazy.  So I would try to dig in with your child.  Ask if there are kids who are constantly disruptive because if that is the case, your situation is bad because the teacher has very few tools, her patience is understandably worn down and when she uses the only tool she has, she gets backtalk from a "good kid."  I would ask more or volunteer or ask volunteers what it is like in the trenches.  I am sure that there are kids in my kids classrooms that think I am mean.  I am not mean.  I just do not think kids should be totally out of control and rude and I call them on it. My job is not on the line so I point my finger, use stern voices or raise my voice.  Most teachers NEVER raise a voice or even use a stern voice so maybe all it takes to be considered mean these days is to be stern and firm.
