My DS#1 is nine years old - grade 4. He has a male teacher.
Today he has come home from school in tears because he was sharing his writers work with the teacher and the four others in his writing group - the teacher said " i am disgusted, get out of my sight ".
Well - i could cry !!
How dare he. He has no right to speak to a student like that - especially my son !
Tomorrow i am going to see the Principal to have a discussion. I feel very uncomfortable having my son in that class now - what will he say next ? I am not going to ask for him to be moved but i want it known that i am not happy !
The teacher he had last year was awesome and spent all year building up his confidence and working on his writing. She would be mortified - like me ! Rang DH and he isnt happy either.
I am dumbfounded !
Thanks for reading - needed to get that off my chest so now i can hopefully approach this in a calm manner. I know i will just sit in the Principals office and cry.
mmmmmmmmmmm................................
OMG thats absolutely disgusting. I don't blame you for being angry one little bit. YES go to the principal. No child should be spoken to like that! BY ANYONE! EVER!
OMG, no teacher should speak to a student like this, that's just awful
Teachers should be very constructive with their criticism, one remark like this will ruin a child's confidence for a long long time!
You are definitely right in speaking to the principal, big hugs to your son, that's just wrong!
Good on you for going to see the principal. You shouldn't have to put up with rubbish like that from your son's teacher. Kids are so much at the mercy of their teachers when they are at school and I think some teachers take advantage of that.
I am a teacher and I am petrified of sending my kids to school because of some of the appalling things I have seen go on in classrooms. Some teachers are outright bullies.
Good luck with the principal tomorrow. I hope it goes well and your son finds his way to a classroom with a brilliant and supportive teacher. They do exist - there are lots of them
What a terrible thing to say, what right does he have? I hope it goes well with the principal and the teacher gets a warning or some sort of discipline for such terrible behaviour.
Yes, i knew i would feel better posting here - you lovely girls help heaps !
I will be very interested to see just how bad this writing actually is. No matter how bad it is the toss pot has no right to say what he said !! GRRRR !!
I am desperately hoping that DS#1's confidence hasnt taken a huge knock because we have come so far in the last 12 months.
My sons teacher is mean !!!!!
