[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]

What the teacher is doing IS a big deal. Your need to minimize everything about this is suspect.  I agree that op should contact the admin and the teacher and decide what to do based on their response. Do you think the teacher is even going to respond given she is probably no longer under contract. If what op's child said is true, do you think this person should be teaching minors?[/quote]

It’s a big deal if the teacher is ACTUALLY doing what the OP claims is happening.

If it’s true, then the teacher shouldn’t be around students.

But is it true? We don’t know. Perhaps this video shows something far more innocent than what the OP alleges.

I’m not one for McCarthyism-style hunts. Investigate first. Deal with later.

Too many posters are ready to tear the teacher apart, and on what proof?[/quote]

Social media is bad idea. Ask to meet with the teacher with admin and another person present. If the teacher won’t meet, meet with admin with another person present.  Present the evidence of the video. Document everything.

Do you think OP has checked the video to see if it shows what her DD says it does? Wouldn’t that be the first thing you would do? If it does, that teacher should have an opportunity to explain herself. On the record, with witnesses.

Are the teachers still under contract? Is the teacher likely to respond? I would attempt to contact the teacher and record the conversation then go to the admin even if the teacher apologizes. [/quote]
