[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are dealing with the same situation.  The teacher is horrible to my child, and was horrible to my husband and I when we went in to discuss our child's issues.  Our child seems to be well liked by the rest of the teachers at the school and yet it is this one teacher that has completely ruined his experience.  My husband and I are wondering why we are paying so much money for such an awful experience (kid is literally marking off days on his calendar, and refuses to participate in any extracurricular activities).  The administration seems to know that there is a problem and as far as we can see does nothing.  Thankfully, next year is a transition year and our child is changing schools.  [/quote]

I just have to share my experience because I feel for you posters.  My child was in a high priced private years ago and had a teacher that was so mean to her she would come home and say she wished she was dead.  Teacher ended up leaving mid year and the school wouldn't tell us why.  We found out later that she had had a nervous breakdown.  The school never said a word to is, even though we had been in to see lower school head many times to talk about our concern with the way our daughter was treated.  It happens.  I have also had kids in public and parents have some recourse if your child has a LD diagnosis.  They are legally bound to not discriminate.  Not true in private.

But you should always be your child's advocate.  Always.  To the posters who think your child is just a disruptive brat, there is such a thing as karma.  Their child will inevitably have problems in school, and get in trouble.  Middle school and high will be a shock to your system.  If you aren't an empathetic person then don't expect empathy when your kid is texting nude photos and drinking at parties because you are a naive parent and think your kid can do no wrong. [/quote]
