[quote=Anonymous][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 agree with this. I also think it's important in this context to know if your child has an IEP or 504, and what techniques is he using in class to stay on task and not distract others or disrupt the class.[/quote]

+1 you son was disruptive the entire quarter. Was told to reign it in. Didn't and was disruptive during a pop test. There are other kids in that class that may need to focus to do their best. I'd let him live with the grade and learn that his behavior has consequences. This all changes if he has an iep [/quote]
