[quote=Anonymous]OP,

I suggested that you speak with the teacher.   Before you do, you need to know what you hope to get from the conference.

Do you want the teacher to apologize?  Will you be okay if she denies it and explains what happened with a different slant than your child's?

If you go over her head, what do you want?  Do you just want a change in tone and behavior or do you want the teacher gone?

Be aware, that teachers are people, too.  They make mistakes.  It's one thing if this is an isolated event.  It is another if it is an ongoing problem.
If it was an isolated event with this person, I would suggest considering staying quiet.  You do need to pick your battles.  If it is an ongoing problem with her, please be careful--she may be on the edge.  Give her the benefit of the doubt.  See what she says.

If you are not satisfied with the response from the teacher--and/or she should deny it, then you have a decision to make.

My advice is to consider this carefully.  Is this important enough to go to the next level?  Do you want your child removed from the class?  If you want the teacher fired, that is highly unlikely to happen.[/quote]
