[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you expressed your concerns to the teacher directly? I’d do that.

But I’d say that the aid has veered into treating your kid unprofessionally and you’d like the teacher to please put a stop to it. Back it up with examples (the rolling of the eyes particularly) of your interactions.

Be polite yet firm. [/quote]

This is about behavior, not feelings. The aide’s unprofessional behavior should absolutely be addressed. Focus the discussion on that. While feelings are ephemeral and subject to misinterpretation, behavior is observable and allows you to cite specific examples, which will be more effective and make you look more professional. Even if you’re right that the teacher dislikes your child, people are allowed to feel whatever they feel. Trying to police people’s emotions is not only unfeasible, it’s a rather terrifying prospect. However, common courtesy dictates that everyone should be treated with civility and respect.  A teacher who is paid to work with children should be held to an even higher standard. Nurturing a child’s development and teaching them appropriate behavior is literally part of her job. [/quote]
