Clearly he has angered school staff, and as such, he is now a target with a label (e.g., "problem child").<br /><br />Also, I believe the harder you try and the more you intervene - the worse it will get!<br /><br />MarkMarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31943569.post-28313137727161880452011-03-06T10:51:05.068-08:002011-03-06T10:51:05.068-08:00What do we do, as a parent, when our 11 yr old son...What do we do, as a parent, when our 11 yr old son was bullied by the teacher. She would constantly call him a retard and tell him that he was going to fail. She refused our repeated attempts to have a daily communication log, so that we could not only help our son, but assist her as well. <br /><br />The one letter that I did get back from the teacher said "What's the point of knowing his triggers when it's he behavior that he needs to work on?". I was so upset about this and brought it to the attention of the principle. They apologized, told her to write me a written apology, or so they said, which I never received.<br /><br />Most recently, she grabbed him by the shoulder, twisted his arm and shoved him into the door. My son told the principle, but the principle told him that the teacher would never do that and that it was a sin to lie. An incident report was never sent home. The next day, my son slipped on some ice, outside of the school and scrapped his leg. He went to the office and they put ice on it. When he went back into class, he hadn't completely put his shoe on the foot of the leg that got hurt. The teacher told him to get his shoe on and he told her that he couldn't bend his leg. She then told the students, only 8 in total, to look at their work and get it done. She then leaned over and said to my son "does this hurt?" and kicked him in the leg that was already injured, leaving a bruise. Again, my son went to the principle and reported what had happened and again he was called a liar.<br /><br />The very next day, I went to the school with the police. The principle admitted that she was negligent in reporting the incidents and said that she was just too busy. She also said that the teacher would never do such things. Both the teacher and the principle told the police that my son was a habitual liar and perceived things in a manner that didn't really happen. Even though the officer spoke to my son and saw the bruise, he didn't press charges and told my son that he didn't believe him. The look on my sons face said it all. His shoulders slumped down, the tears started to form in his eyes and it looks as if everything that he tried to do, to protect himself was thrown out the window. <br /><br />Then, the principle turned to me and said that they no longer wished to "have a relation" with us, due to the allegations. No investigation was done regarding the teachers behavior, even though I have numerous emails that I sent to the principle regarding situations that happened in the classroom.<br /><br />This all happened last Friday and since then, my son isn't sleeping, he's crying a lot and said that he feels like everyone thinks that he's a worthless liar. I keep trying to reassure him that he is not those things and that he did the right thing and that I am very proud of him. I also promised him that I will never allow that to happen to him again.<br /><br />My son goes to counseling every other week and I am sure that she is going to be equally disturbed. <br /><br />What can we do?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
