[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These situations can be tough b/c sometimes there is an issue with the teacher and sometimes there is an issue with behavior or anxiety. [b] Do you know any other parents with kids in that class? [/b] What one kid thinks it getting "picked on" might just be something as simple as being expected to follow the rules.  [/quote]

+1 to talking with other parents, especially if you know any with older kids. My son was having a tough time with a teacher in an elective class in middle school. I later learned from other parents that this teacher was notorious for picking one target every semester. And my son had the bad luck to be that semester's target. If I'd known that sooner I'd have encouraged him to drop the class.

I do think, generally, you should approach the teacher but only after buy in from your son. If he doesn't want you talking to the teacher, I would respect that. In my son's case he was adamant that I not and from what I learned later, I'm sure it would have just increased the crap he was getting from that teacher.  But, I would talk with the counselor who may have advice on navigating and would likely know if this is a pattern of behavior from that teacher. [/quote]
