[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To your question “do teachers ever get it wrong with discipline?” Absolutely.

This teacher was wrong. I’m not saying your daughter did nothing wrong but the teacher’s handling of the situation doesn’t seem right either. I actually find it very concerning that the teacher referred to your daughter as displaying “mean girl behavior” which would suggest this is a pattern of behavior for your daughter and not a one-off. I also find it very concerning that the teacher told you your daughter thinks she’s smarter than other kids. That is not appropriate or professional for the teacher to say. I think the teacher is likely overwhelmed/stressed, misread the situation and/or blew it out of proportion, doesn’t really mesh w your daughter, AND was totally unprofessional in the way she presented it to you.

I would definitely recommend talking to the school counselor about this and getting someone else looped in. To me the teacher sounds more like the problem than your daughter.
