[quote=Anonymous]Back your kid up.

This happened to me when I was in HS. I had a disagreement with a teacher and she decided to pre-emptively accuse me of being a liar -- I hadn't even tried to tell anyone about what had happened yet, she just reported out to the school guidance counselor and my parents that I was "a liar" and not to trust what I said about the incident.

I think she knew if I told people what had happened, it would quickly become clear that she was either in the wrong OR it was a valid disagreement and she'd lost her temper with a student (which she had).

The school guidance counselor actually backed me up but my parents didn't. They apologized for my behavior and told the school they'd punish me at home, it was actually the guidance counselor who suggested it had been a misunderstanding and suggested we resolve it by just moving me to another section of that class with another teacher. I was moved and there were no issues in the new class, and everyone forgot about it.

Except I remembered that my parents had immediately disbelieved me and believed a teacher they had never even met over me. I also never forgot how that teacher preemptively tried to discredit me before I'd even told anyone what happened. Those lessons about when you can trust an adult and who I could rely on really stuck with me.
