[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Students also lie, embellish, and twist stories, too.  There needs to be an investigation on both sides.  This student could just be a pot-stirrer, too.  The cry room may be for a student to collect themselves.  The student must have been a very poor student to be failing a photography class. The admin should investigate how many days the student truly missed and what is going on in the other classes. Students are turning into bullies now with cameras.  They try to create false narratives about teachers to suit their agenda.  One must be careful to place total blame on the teacher.  How many attempts were offered to the student and work is still not turned in? Different rules can’t be created for one student.  Either the student deserves an incomplete or an F.  Which is it?   I find it hard to believe that this is some stellar student.  [/quote]

Schools absolutely make various accommodations for individual students. Do you know what an IEP is?

And yes, there’s a need to investigate. But you don't give suspects an opportunity to destroy evidence during investigations. The pp claiming to be a teacher that has been suggesting that the OP needs to talk to the teacher is being incredibly naive. Either that or she believes the OP and wants a cover-up.[/quote]

This thread had jumped the shark.

I’m one of 2 (at least) posters who are saying to involve the teacher in the conversation.

This is getting silly. It’s presumably already on video. What is there to cover up, and why would I WANT a cover up?

I just don’t approve of taking people down without an investigation. I’ve seen that happen to a teacher who was 100% innocent of the allegations against her.

Just talk to admin and the teacher. Why does this need to be a big deal?[/quote]

Who is saying there shouldn’t be an investigation? [/quote]

The posters saying to post this directly on social media.[/quote]

Sometimes that’s what it takes to get an investigation.[/quote]

So you’re suggesting starting there? Not contacting the teacher or the school at all? Not even trying?

This is how reputations are ruined. What if the teacher isn’t guilty of this, and the video doesn’t show what the student claims it does? Then the teacher’s reputation is unnecessarily damaged and the OP’s reputation is destroyed.[/quote]

No, I wouldn’t start there. But I’d go there if the principal didn’t respond in a timely manner.

And going to the teacher first is a horrible idea for[b] something like this.[/b][/quote]

We don't know what "something like this" is because OP refuses to tell us what a "cry board" is.  If the teacher just has a designated quiet area for emotional kids who need some space to decompress--maybe the OP's child got confused about what this is called--then OP is going to look like a fool if she escalates this without clarifying what is going on first.[/quote]

Make a mark on the closet tears board.

Doesn’t sound like a safe space to me. Sounds like the teacher keeps track of how many times she can make kids cry.
