My family just moved to another state and while I am homeschooled, my little sister just started a new public school. She is in the fourth grade and while she just started going about a week and a half ago, we are already having problems with her teacher. For one thing, she scraped her knee the other day and went to tell the teacher. So the teacher said, "Are you going to die?" and my little sister said, "No." Then the teacher asked, "Are you sure?" and my sister said "Yes." However, it really hurt her feelings.
We live in a rural area. So the other day this teacher decides to tell the kids for no apparent reason, "If you go to New York and tell them you're from this area, they will call you a hillbilly." Now, my family is from New York and found two things wrong with this. One, not all people in New York will do that and we were offended that she would say something like that. Two, why should this teacher teach and encourage hurtful labels?
Should we have to put up with this?
