[quote=Anonymous]Our child has a specialist teacher (foreign language) at a Virginia independent school.  He/she has told us several times that he/she is scared of the teacher because of her loud and unusual classroom management techniques -- stamping her heels very loudly so that it sounds like someone being slapped, saying rude things to the children.  Other parents have told me that she has blown whistles at the children in the classroom in the past.  Our child has not had any complaints about their other teachers and enjoys and does well in school.  But he/she is becoming very nervous about being in this teacher's classroom.  Other parents with older siblings have said that this has been a longterm issue at the school, but that any complaints to the administration are glossed over and that the teacher "retaliates" against the complaining parents' child.  We are hesitant to bring up the issue directly with the teacher based upon this feedback, but we can't think of an alternative way to handle this that won't make things worse for our child.  The administration apparently shares the name of the parents with the teacher, so going to the administration does not seem to be an option either.  [/quote]
