It's somewhat unprofessional, but I would definitely let it go. Your child engaged in the inappropriate behavior openly, it is not a secret. You have bigger issues to address

Indeed, it's just gossip.

What amazes me is the OP's apparent disregard for the kid who was punched and, perhaps, kicked. Imagine the OP's outrage if her little darling had been the one punched. Deal with your child and stop blaming others. [/quote]

jesus people -- the OP never said that their kid did anything wrong, but that she felt that the teacher's behavior with her older child was inappropriate and crossed professional boundaries.

OP -- I agree with you completely.  There was a situation where a teacher got very angry at my son for what he perceived as disrespect.  My kid was goofing around and mimicking the teacher.  My kid was in first grade.  The teacher punished my child in a way that was very shaming to him.  This particular teacher would give out tickets for good behavior that could be saved and exchanged for trinkets.  This teacher told my son that he would be given no tickets for the remainder of the year.  He then told my daughter that she would not be allowed to use her tickets to buy trinkets for her brother.   My kids have a healthy amount of sibling rivalry, and the last thing I need is a teacher providing ammunition to my older child to use against my younger.   Strangely, instead of lording this over her brother, my daughter felt uncomfortable having been drawn into this punishment by this teacher, and shared it with me.  I addressed it with the teacher, who denied the whole thing, realizing that he had crossed a boundary.

I agree that you should address this with the administration OP -- adults don't need to be interfering with the family unit in this way.  [/quote]
