This actually happened to me as a child and I'd do exactly what my mother did I'd confront the teacher and princaple together about it, I'd also see if other parents were experiencing the same thing and have them come on board too.

When I was younger 2nd grad I was a slow learner
Back then they did not under stand this as much as they do now.
My 2snd grad teacher use to call me dump all the time in front of the whole
Class! One day my sister how was 2 grades a head of me came to pick me up at my class
The teacher had me stay after class she heard the teacher calling me lots of names
And hitting me (Back then school could do this) She ran home and got my mom.
We lived 2 blocks from the school. My mom run in the class and well lets just say
She showed her how it felt to be hit!

If it a good name like "pumpkin" “sweetie” or something then that ok.
But call my kid something bad I would not put up with this!

I love kids but also know I would lose my temper if I had to deal with 32 or
So kids some I know can be bad kids. I would lose it so I am not a teacher!
Part of being a teacher I feel is you should be able to handle kids and keep
your thoughts to your self. Though I under stand why they may want to
Lose it sometimes. If a kid is that bad that you feel you have to call them bad names
You should look in to getting the kid out of your class room for the good of the kid
Your self and all other kids.


The names my teacher called me and the faxed that she also did this
Ware all the other kids heard her sticks with me to this day!
As does how my mother handle it and what my mother taught me
after we got home.


If it was my kid I would do everything I could to get my kid out of there class
I would not send my kid back till they change her teacher!

First I would play 20 questions with my child. Sometimes they just come home and are frustrated about something else and pick that one thing to focus on to take out their frustration, this approach has saved me from making a trip to the school many times over the years. Also my Dd's know that if I go , they are going too and we will talk to the teacher together, if I find out that my DD has been lying or exaggerating the situation, they are in big trouble. I have done this a couple of times and my daughters were telling the truth , but it has really taught them that they are responsible for their accusations, they can't just blow up and expect me to go make a scene for nothing, ok if it turned out that this was really bothering my dd, I would take my dd and go talk to the teacher, it is still possible that the teacher does not realize it is bothering my dd. We would then go from there, if the teacher was just trying to be mean I would move my way up the ladder in the system until something is resolved.

I agree. My opinion if she's calling the child a name, I'm assuming its a bad / not nice name. Why talk to her ? She should know better. The Principal should be aware of what she's doing.

I'm back with the homeschool mom. The only way to protect our kids from teachers who abuse their power in a myriad of ways is to pull them out of school. My son's teachers did not directly tell him he was dumb, but they told him that it was ok that he couldn't learn to read at 10 years old, rather than [u]work[u] to find out how he could learn! His first year at home he advanced three years in reading and is now far above grade level. We still struggle with his self image though. Many kids won't tell their parents when they are being put down by teachers because they believe the teachers, and are afraid their parents will believe what's being said! As in, if I tell Mom the teacher said I'm dumb, then Mom will know I'm dumb...the teacher must know!
