[quote=Anonymous]I have had teachers cover up/down play things that they did while frustrated that they realized were big mistakes once they calmed down. Other students going home and recounting word for word the nasty thing the teacher said. Once I learned of it directly from another parent whose child was upset. Kids don’t mind seeing other kids get in trouble but at least a handful of kind empathetic kids understand the difference between discipline and shame and they don’t enjoy having a teacher who shames people.

This should be easy enough to verify with a discussion with k teacher so agree that getting the principal involved is good idea. Find out what happened, get your child transferred to a different class and make sure you are keeping the IEP up to date. If teachers are struggling with your child that may mean they both need more help. Keep pursuing ADHD diagnosis- meds can really help.

Finally, I firmly believe you can enforce expectations for good behavior and still expect your child to be treated respectfully. When talking to my own child I never excuse their behavior but do say the words used were not ok. It’s only been a problem in one classroom ever so I know it’s possible.[/quote]
