[quote=Anonymous]Last year (sixth grade) DD had a math/science teacher who was a bitch. My kid is no delicate flower, but this teacher was verbally aggressive in a way that was making DD unable to stand up for herself. She kept assigning homework to be done on the computer at home and I kept telling her DD does not have a computer at home to use, and I can't get DD to the library every day after school because the only day they were open after my work was over was one day a week.

At parent teacher conferences when I explained something about DD, she asked why DD hadn't told her directly. I said, "She TRIED. You are very intimidating." The teacher looked like I'd slapped her across the face. Shocked and hurt. She was better for a couple of weeks, and then went right back to giving DD a hard time about not completing computer work. Claimed DD should use the computer at school during her lunch period. When DD asked if she could eat her lunch while doing that she was told no. When I asked when DD was expected to eat lunch if she was doing math on her lunch period each day, the teacher couldn't answer me. So when she gave DD yet ANOTHER zero I went to the AP. The teacher acted like she couldn't understand why I hadn't talked to her even though I had. [/quote]
