Work rant not sure what to do? (long) updated had meeting

[redux]

I have no advice - you have gotten good counsel here- I just want to say I know how painful itis when people treat you unfairly at work. Your livelihood, your family's welfare, so much is at stake. Plus, we all want to do a good job and be appreciated. It hurts when our efforts are not recognized.

I hope things work out well for you, and that cooler, saner heads prevail.

Please, please, please do not allow this woman to teach your child any longer. Even if you work out your relationship with her, she will take it out on your son. Who knows what she is doing to him when you are not present. If he formerly loved school and now hates it, there is a HUGE problem!

When I was in 10th grade, there was a boy in my class named Ronnie. Ronnie was likeable enough, a pretty nice kid and really smart. It was an honors english class actually. The teacher for some reason decided she hated Ronnie and pretty much made it her mission to take him apart. At first we all laughed when she poked fun, but then she just kept up. Within weeks we were all trying to protect the poor guy. By the end of the school year she turned a sweet, smart, happy kid into a self-conscious, uncertain morose eeyore type guy. He never, ever recovered from her verbal abuse. It was horrible, just horrible.

Please don't let her ruin your son. Be strong. Be his hero. He will always remember that you took his side and believed him and that you took the time to protect him.

My headteacher at primary school was a nasty nasty woman. She was one of those people that seem to be a teacher because they can belittle someone else and feel important, and an adult wouldn't take their crap. There was a boy in my class with dyslexia and she would continually bully him and call him lazy. Thankfully his father had the foresight to move him to a different school. She liked scaring children, and everyone was terrified of her. It was a small school of 48 kids and she loved to play favourites. If she didn't like you life was miserable.

My worst nightmare came true when she later substituted at the middle school I attended, I thought I was rid of her when I moved up. We were doing a craft project and I accidentally went wrong, and she proceeded to rant and rave about how that was typical of me to screw up and how I never listened. I was a good kid! I was mortified, not all of the kids knew her as some went to different primary schools. She was so bad that a close friend's parents also moved her to a different school, and when they found out she was substituting at the middle school kept her home from those classes.

I agree.I chose my son and I never once regretted it.Well I did regret waiting 4 months,but otherwise I did right by him even when family did not back me up.I know jobs are tough to come by,but losing a child is far worse. The way they are treated will change them,and they may never recover from the negative things done to them.

The teacher and school sounds a bit wacked out.I experienced a wall when dealing with my sons school.They all backed each other up,and I was made to feel like some weirdo parent.It was weird in that the people at school had me questioning myself.I was thinking,"Am I over-protective? Is my child REALLY telling the truth? Is it really as bad as I make it out to be?Maybe I should back off and just leave things as they are."

Hope things work out for you and your son. Funny how the teacher can come to you and complain,but your child gets punished for the same.I always thought the behaviors of a child was a private matter to be discussed in a parent/teacher meeting-no one else present.

Thinking of you and your son this morning. Hope it all goes well.

It's kind of crazy that they are going to punish him for talking to you. The teacher is the one who set the example of taking him directly to you when she had an issue. She taught him! I would be so mad about the entire situation. I agree with taking statements from all who were present and approaching the superintendant.

This is the point where I would go to the school board AND contact CPS about the teacher.
