[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry, OP. This happened to my DD in 1st grade- the teacher favored the very rowdiest boys, and then in 2nd grade the teacher favored the girls who were the highest reading level and the fastest at math. It crushed DD and really chipped away at her willingness to try. We never found a good way to address these issues with the administration because a lot of it was anecdotes coming from my DD and details that added up to a lot but seemed petty taken one by one. The 1st grade teacher did leave at the end of the year, so that was validating.

Now in 3rd grade she’s an entirely different child. I fear she may be one of the teacher’s favorites, but it’s amazing the difference that attention can make in a child’s life. Instead of bedtime tears every night, she jumps into the car brimming with things to tell me about her day. She is doing extra math by choice and her reading and comprehension have soared. Today she told me she misses school (she’s on break).

My takeaway from these past 3 years is that teachers can make or break a child’s life, and that’s pretty scary. [/quote]

As long as she is teachers pet amirite [/quote]
