[quote=Anonymous]I have a very vivid memory of a teacher calling a kid a liar in grade school, when I knew she was not lying.  The teacher had threatened to fail the child (meaning hold her back a grade) in my presence if she messed up another test.  The girl was beyond distraught and burst into tears at her next bad grade.  She was sobbing the teacher said she’d be held back, the teacher called her a liar and asked me to back her up.  To my shame, I did, even though I knew the teacher was lying,  ot the girl.  (I was 9 and scared of this teacher who was the only one who ever gave me detention—for shrugging my shoulders.). In retrospect, I think the girl has dylexia.  She really struggled and the reason I was involved in the whole mess was that the teacher used me to help grade papers.

Anyway, I am usually very pro-teacher and think the majority are really good and really trying.  But we all know that there are some bad apples out there,  If it was me, I think I would tell my child that if they weren’t doing that, then don’t worry about what this teacher said.  School year will be over soon and life will move on and they will know the truth. [/quote]
