[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not knowing any of the people involved— or their propensity to embellish or not — I’d say a conference with the teachers, and possibly with the principal and both teachers would be my next step.  The teacher could have been appallingly inappropriate, and, if so, that needs to be dealt with, including seriously considering a class change, if possible.

OTOH, I’ve known teachers to informally work as a team.  Younger kids would be sent to higher grade classes to read with more advanced buddies.  Kids who were having difficulty settling down might be sent to a Kindergarten class to “help out” or to have a break.  This last intervention was often a good one, since the kids familiar with the K teachers knew them  to be very kind and patient— with high expectations for good behavior.  In the examples I’m recalling, it was a win-win, and not a punishment— although I can imagine an embarrassed student feeling publicly embarrassed.

tldr: Gather more information before deciding on a course of action. [/quote]

What the heck is this narrative you’ve fabricated. Sure older kids do mentor younger kids in very structured scenarios. You’re essentially rewriting what OPs child said. Not only that, others are jumping on the blame the victim bandwagon. Go TF away. Some teachers are dysfunctional. Some are power tripping bullies. My sister has been a special ed teacher for 30+ years. She has turned children’s lives around. She mostly deals with shitty parents. She’s also deals with very shitty teachers. OP, I believe your daughter. [b]Do whatever it takes to get a public apology for your daughter in her classroom, in front of her peers. [/b][/quote]

That is not going to happen.[/quote]
