Maybe the teacher is trying to guide/challenge/push/teach your daughter in a manner that your daughter might not understand or like?

My son's best friend says that their Spanish teacher "picks on him" in class because the teacher makes him answer oral questions or give his opinion when he'd like to just stay quiet and fill out worksheets. My son is in the same class and says she makes everyone talk (which is different than last year's teacher), [b]some kids just have anxiety about it and feel judged.

Maybe there is a second side to the story?

Regardless, summer is almost here. It's over.[/quote]

Really?  My DS has been in a class all year where he complained about the teacher singling him out.  He's my 4th kid so I thought it likely the teacher was just challenging him as you say.  I encouraged him to work through it, that not every teacher was a good fit, etc. - until a few weeks ago.  At that time, a friend sent my DD a video another student had secretly recorded in DS' classroom.  It shows incredibly inappropriate behavior of the teacher towards DS.  I was horrified.  I immediately sent it to the principal and counselor.  [b]The teacher was put on administrative leave the same day and hasn't been in the classroom since. [/b]

BTW - DS also has anxiety.  Your comment about 'some kids just have anxiety' is shows you're as ignorant as DS' teacher.  That was one of the reasons she targeted and judged him.  You really shouldn't opine on things you know nothing about. [/quote]

Yeah right.[/quote]

Something similar at our school several years ago. There was no video but several students reported that they were uncomfortable with the physical contact between a teacher and a student. The teacher was pulled out of class immediately and ended up never coming back.  You cannot manhandle students and that what was what this was.  A video would be the same kind of evidence as having multiple students report the same thing. 
PP - I am so sorry for your ds. What a nightmare. [/quote]
