[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I realize there is a teaching shortage, but what can a parent do if your child is placed with a newly hired, horribly mean teacher? My child who is a soft spoken, happy kid with straight As starts regularly crying and telling us how miserable he is with his teacher? We, along with many other parents in the classroom, have complained separately, met with administrators at the school. Then what? I’ve been trying to wait for things to improve within the classroom while also telling my child that “everyone has a bad teacher” sometimes and the likelihood of having another bad teacher next year is low. However, today my child had a complete meltdown at dinner about how his teacher gives him dirty looks all day, won’t let the kids use the bathroom, and berates children in the classroom. We’ve already met with the teacher 1:1 and the school administration team. Nothing has improved in the last two weeks. My husband and I are starting to really worry this is creating some mental health issues for our kid.

Any advice? I’m starting to think either I see the continual decline of my kid while the school does nothing or have to transfer to private, homeschool -  all options I really don’t want to have to explore unless given no choice. [/quote]

Talk to the Counselor and tell them that your child is crying about school and struggling. You would like the Counselor to talk to your child. [/quote]
