DS16 was told "you are crap" by a teacher

[StrawberryFields]

Thats appalling! A teacher should never speak to a student like that! Ever!

DS probably shouldn't have called her crap back but you know what? He's 16, he's entitled to make those kind of slip ups, and if you ask me telling a 16yo boy he's crap is just asking for it.

Sounds to me like he had her beat and she couldn't take it

Wow - that is really appalling! I wouldn't be surprised if you don't hear a thing from the school because the teacher is probably too embarrassed to admit that she stuffed up and 'lost it' at a student. Best of luck - hope your DS can forgive this teacher and move on from it. Big call for a 16 year old because it was a very demoralising statement to make to an adolescent whom she is supposed to be setting an example for.
