[quote=Anonymous]We are in a somewhat similiar situation. Friends' DC had a teacher last year who we all think may be racist, or at least "mean". Our kid has that teacher this year. So for this teacher has been 'gooder than gold' to our DC. But I am keeping my eyes wide open. These types of situations you have to handle with finesse. Short of someone calling my kid a"N", it is hard to prove someone is being racist. You have to call out general inequitable behaviour. 'Why is it that kid A was treated in this manner regarding his behaviour, but Kid B demonstrated the same behaviour and was treated in a totally opposite way' When they say crazy stuff (and you know what I mean) call the person out, "What do you mean?" "Why would you say that?" "Do you think this appropriate?" I had to do this when my kid was in 1st grade. Teacher fell all over herself trying to correct it. Mind you I did it via email, but every time she saw us she tried to act like she was my kid's best friend![/quote]
