[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't BELIEVE this. Even if the page was filled with incorrect answers and smudges, this is horrible.

I taught high school, and no matter what the paper looked like, no matter the student, I would never write something like this.

Absolutely report this person.[/quote]

OP here.  Ok, now I'm confused by such completely different reactions.  I don't think I want to report the teacher.  But I do think I want to tell her that my child doesn't respond well to shaming as a teaching tactic. [/quote]

OP--you absolutely should meet with the teacher. I would use the word "shaming". That is precisely what the teacher is doing to your child. These kinds of comments can break certain children. Some kids can take it--but all the way up into MS, my kids have idolized their teachers--they would be very hurt to recieve such a criticism. They are invariably giving their best effort at any given time at school, but for my boys, sometimes the result can look quite sloppy. Some teachers can be very, very sadistic. [/quote]
