[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know that your kid will need to learn how to deal with difficult people in difficult circumstances when they grow up, right? Can't always run away, just saying.  [/quote]

OP here.  Yes, of course.  But you do know that there's a difference between 8 and 18, right?

Some situations should not be tolerated, especially if a child doesn't have the tools to cope with it yet.  There's a reason why we children and adults are treated differently under the law -- and why most adults would agree that children need a degree of protection that most adults don't need.  [/quote]

OP, you are being deliberately evasive about the reason you don't like your kid's class assignment. That's fine, but you should recognize that, with no further information other than what you've spelled out here, we have no way of knowing if what you are asking is valid, or if you will come across as a major PITA. Yes, "some situations should not be tolerated." The fact that Mummy doesn't like the teacher isn't one of them. Are we to just assume that this is for a better reason?[/quote]

OP- continue to wisely not give enough info to ID your child. In small schools, no matter how perfectly selected the students are, subtle bullying can be a beast. Though teachers often see it, it can be hard to catch and nail down and parents are frequently in denial. I have, in rare cases, seen parents of the bully enlisted to help, and they helped their kid turn things around. I have seen parents flat out deny their child could be causing miserable dynamics and most rare of all, I have seen a teacher work mightily to turn an entire class around. Good luck. [/quote]

Thanks 13:40.  Yes, I agree that protecting my DC is the most important thing.  I very much appreciate your advice and am keeping my fingers crossed that things will work out.
