[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is exercising her right to free speech in the manner she sees appropriate. It is a very civil thing to do. The teacher can go to hell. [/quote]

Kids don't have a right to free speech!

[b]The teacher has a right to tell your DD not to wave but does not have a right to belittler her with "you always have to be seen, don't you." That's the kind of thing that is meant to break the spirit of a self confident, outgoing kid -- and it works, too.

OP, I would talk to the principal[/b] or your own DD's teacher about that comment. It's not okay. [b]Also talk to your DD and let her know that the way the teacher made her feel is wrong.[/b][/quote]

+1 on all of this. That is a very cutting and inappropriate remark meant to embarrass your child in front of her peers. I remember a couple of teachers like that - harsh people who clearly didn't like kids and considered it their job (and pleasure) to diminish them. I would definitely address this with the school. It was barely a step away from publicly calling her an attention whore. [/quote]

Agreed. I still remember two asshole teachers from elementary and how they thought they were funny in their ridicuke. Looking back, i see now they were hippies (this was late 60s) and understand it better. See OWS for the same bad behavior tgat's lauded amongst their own

In fifth grade i got the 'mean' teacher  everyone warned me about. I loved her. She wasn't mean, she was organized and disciplined in the classroom. There were no disruptions, and she was very rewarding to students who did their work.

The teacher was out of line - saying that to a child who waved?  Really?  Call her out[/quote]
