I've worked in the school system in the past and am familiar with a teacher who I feel is mean to her students. I witnessed her smack her own son (in the mouth) for peeing his pants in first grade, and this teacher asked me to remove a child's books which were peed on because she didn't want to touch them. She has access to gloves as much as I do, but she was pregnant and used that to hide her ignorance to disease processes. I didn't request another teacher at the end of school last year because I have done this in the past with another child and have been told that requests cannot be granted. And, I figured, with 5 teachers in this grade the chances are only 20% that she will be my child's teacher. Well guess what...
So, other parents and teachers, what should I do? Should I wait and give it a chance? I'm not sure anything can be changed at this point (school starts Aug. 14th). Can someone be horrible personally but still be a good teacher?
