[quote=Anonymous]I would reach out to the principal about this for two reasons. First, like others have said, your daughter shouldn't be in this teacher's class. This teacher acted very inappropriately in a way that shows significant bias against your daughter that you and your daughter now know about, and that's just a recipe for a disastrous year all around. Unless it's actually impossible to move your daughter to another class (e.g., she needs the class to be promoted to the next year, and this teacher is the only one who teaches it), I have a hard time imagining the principal won't try to accommodate this request.

Second, you need to have a conversation with someone a little less biased/heated about the reason for this teacher's opinion. Is she an outlier, or is there some dynamic involving your daughter (whether your daughter appreciates it or not) that is causing teachers to label her this way. Just because the teacher acted inappropriately in response to her feelings doesn't mean there isn't good cause for the feelings themselves.[/quote]
