[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talk to the principal.

Sometimes teachers can be vindictive.  "Behavior" is marking him down on stuff she doesn't like not objectively what he's supposed to be learning.

Set a time with the principal.  [b]Keep your comments reflective of the behaviors of the teacher--don't get personal or angry.  Stick to the facts.[/b]

Ask the principal how he/she will resolve this and a time you can expect a follow up.  If the principal jerks you around ask that your kid have a different teacher.

It will help if your kid has a 504 or iep, but if not time to get one.  The teacher sounds like she is discriminating.[/quote]

The problem with this is that OP doesn't have facts. She wasn't in the class all quarter. She is relying on her son's version of the facts, when he may or may not be a reliable narrator. Of course he's going to tell the version of the story that reflects best on him. I'm sure there's more to this story than what OP's son has presented to her. I'm not absolving the teacher--just saying that OP can't know the facts since she wasn't there. [/quote]

I completely agree. I am suspicious that the son’s behavior was not what he says it was. She had no issues giving him lower grades when he earned them and higher grades on things he did well on so I HIGHLY doubt this was just “f*** it, I don’t like you, you’re getting an F, muah ha haaa.” C’mon Mom. You know better. And stop using your kids diagnosis as an excuse. [/quote]
