[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am considering going to the principal.  The teacher appears to be targeting my child and has humiliated child inappropriately several times.  Teacher is not approachable.  I did approach teacher about the issue with my child, child attempted to self-advocate by asking teacher what he could do to improve and if teacher was angry with him about something.  Teacher did not react well.  Teacher barked at my child in front of me and we walked away.[/quote]

I think that you should approach the teacher directly first, before you go to the principal. If nothing else, it will help you when you do go to the principal. As the PP said, the principal is the teacher's boss. If this were a workplace situation, and you had a problem with somebody, would you handle it by going straight to that person's supervisor?

Send the teacher an e-mail asking for a conference (without your child present). If the teacher doesn't respond, resend it with a cc to the principal. [/quote]
