[quote=Anonymous]I don't ask "is this true?" per se, but I will ask my child for his or her version of what's true. Because realistically, teachers are human. They cannot always see everything, they do occasionally miss nuances, and there may be things going on that the teacher simply didn't think were germane, but which are. That doesn't mean that I'm discounting the teacher's report, but that I want all the pieces, or at least as many as possible, before I decide how or if I want/need to follow up. (I don't utilize just one media news source, either.) Not to mention the fact that one of my children has an eidetic memory for dialog, which I've found extremely helpful in some situations, like when the fourth grade teacher thought DD was remiss in not wanting to be BFFs with the kids who were bullying her on a regular basis.I prefer to think that teacher's an outlier-- that she's nowhere near anyone's norm-- but even good teachers can make mistakes, and bust the wrong kid for talking, or only catch the second party involved in a two-party transgression.
