[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middle school, I have a very open relationship with my child. Child came home and told me that there was an incident with a teacher suspecting watching videos on a laptop. He told me the story, his side was that a tab was open but he was only watching when allowed (between classes).

Then I see the email. Very very long email from his teacher basically tearing into my son. He's unethical, a liar, the whole nine. As a result of him being a liar, I'm sending him to detention and writing him up to the school.

I thought it was a total over reaction by the teacher. But also, who engages in a tear down of a kid like that.

I've never dealt with a teacher having that strong of reaction. He's never had discipline issues outside of this specific teacher. He's above grade level in everything.

How would you handle as a parent?[/quote]

My child's 3rd grade teacher would shop on Amazon while the class was absorbed in coursework.  One of the kids saw it and told his mom who told the other parents.  Well, there really wasn't anything we could do about it.
When I was in 4th grade, my older sister noticed that my teacher only made a check mark on our homeworks.  Older sister said my teacher was lazy for not going thru each sheet problem by problem.  So one day I was helping out the 4th grade teacher, I naively and innocently remarked that my sister thought she was lazy for merely making check marks on our homeworks.  Ms. 4th grade teacher became incensed and began yelling at me (in front of everyone).  I don't remember what she said but I clearly touched a nerve.
It's called being defensive because they were caught being unprofessional.

I might save the information and give it to the school principal upon your child's promotion to the next school.[/quote]

Oh I misread, it was OP's boy who is being accused of watching videos.
[b]Well, simple solution - the teacher needs to get his students to focus.  Why is he relying on a computer to teach anyway[/b]?
His reaction is over the top.  I would think he would reach out to the parent only after repeated efforts to get the student to focus.[/quote]

Typical absurd 2023 entitled parent response.  :roll: [/quote]
