"Then you need to complain to the principal, teacher, whomever. You cannot say suffer in silence then take out on the union because you did not lodge the complaints and have it documented that which is your issue."

And there lies the catch.  How do you do that without subjecting the OP's son/daughter to retaliation.

That is a valid question, and I think it varies according to a lot of different factors -- openess and leadership of the administration, all the personalities involved -- teacher -- principal,etc. You have to base your strategy on a lot of different things.
2 of the biggest factors are YOUR personality and that of your child. Is your child mature enough to be guided through what may be a TOUGH situation. If you decide to take this on -- can you coach your child through it -- being strong --- reporting exactly what happens -- perhaps even scripting out what she needs to say if the teacher flips out on her  -- "...no you cannot speak to me in that manner, we can take this up with the principal and my parents". Script according to age and ability.
But I have to be honest -- I am one of those people that feels like both your DH and your DC need to think you have a little bit of crazy in you. So in this case that crazy ass teacher needs to be introduced to a new and improved level of crazy. I would have that *beep* thinking that I am willing to quit/lose my job to sit my happy behind in her classroom every.stinking.day. You do not get to be mean to children and not answer for it. At the very least, she may think 2x the next time.[/quote]
